Role Overview

The Head of People will lead talent and people operations across our portfolio of operating companies. This role oversees recruitment strategy, organizational design, and evolving HR systems as new and existing teams are scaled and integrated. This role is responsible for ensuring that people practices remain coherent and effective as new companies are added and existing teams scale.

Key responsibilities include supporting key hiring efforts, defining roles and organizational structure, and establishing clear, consistent approaches to performance management and compensation.

While portfolio companies operate independently, this role will identify and implement shared practices where they improve efficiency and consistency – particularly across recruitment, total rewards & benefits strategy, HR systems, policies, compliance – without adding unnecessary process.

This position requires strong judgment on talent and the ability to partner closely with leadership teams in a practical, hands-on manner.

This is a full-time, New York-area role requiring four in-office days per week in our New York city office.
