Human Resources Director

CXponent is a leading Tech Advisor supporting clients to develop and source technology products services that align with their goals and budget. Having recently partnered with Shore Capital Partners, known for rapidly scaling businesses, the organization is entering its next phase of growth and is seeking its first HR Director (Director of Talent and Culture) to join the team. This role will report directly to the Chief Financial Officer and plays a critical part in building and optimizing the firm’s HR function.

As our first HR hire, you will be the architect of our people operations. You will transition us from a "founder‑led" HR model to a scalable, professional department. This is a high‑impact role requiring an "A Player" who can balance the tactical needs of payroll and benefits with the strategic demands of M&A integration and culture‑building in a fast‑paced PE environment.

• Lead the HR due diligence and post‑merger integration (PMI) process for frequent acquisitions.
• Harmonize benefits, compensation structures, and payroll systems for newly acquired teams.
• Ensure a seamless cultural transition for new employees, maintaining the CXponent "GUIDE" values across a growing organization.

• Build a scalable recruiting engine to support rapid headcount growth.
• Develop an employer brand that positions CXponent as the premier destination for technology advisors.
• Implement rigorous "A Player" hiring standards to ensure we maintain high talent density.

• Design and implement a performance management framework rooted in our core values: GUIDE - Got Your Back, Understand the Goal, Iterate Relentlessly, Dig Deep, and Enjoy the Journey.
• Create clear career paths and development opportunities as the company scales.
• Act as a coach to leadership, ensuring a culture of radical candor and accountability.

• Manage all aspects of payroll, benefits administration, and HR compliance.
• Audit and select benefit providers that are competitive for mid‑sized technology firms.
• Ensure HR systems (HRIS) are integrated with business tools and provide real‑time data for PE reporting.

• Partner with leadership to design an organizational structure and reporting lines that align with long‑term strategy and rapid growth.
• Establish a clear job architecture, including career pathways, leveling standards, and role taxonomy to ensure cross‑functional clarity.

• Progressive HR
  
  Experience:
  
  5+ years of experience with a variety of roles within the HR function, especially recruitment. SHRM Certification preferred.
• PE
  
  Experience:
  
  You have worked in a Private Equity‑backed environment and understand the pace, reporting requirements, and focus on ROI.
• Builder Mindset: You are excited to be the "first" and enjoy setting up processes from scratch rather than just maintaining them.
• Strategic & Tactical: You aren't afraid to run payroll on Monday and present an M&A integration strategy to the Executive Team on Tuesday.
• Driven & High‑Stakes: You are a self‑starter who views HR as a "seamless engine for business potential" rather than a back‑office function.
