Job description

Human Resources Director

We're assisting our client looking for an experienced Human Resources Director who will serve as the operational leader of our people function and a trusted partner to the Chief Operating Officer. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll oversee our HR team, support attorneys and staff across multiple offices, ensure compliance in a complex multi-state environment, and help build systems and processes that allow the Firm to continue growing. They are not looking for someone to maintain the status quo. They are looking for someone who enjoys building.

What You'll Do

Partner with Leadership

Serve as a trusted advisor to the COO, CEO, shareholders, attorneys, and administrative leaders on all people-related matters. Build strong relationships across the Firm and provide practical, balanced guidance that supports both our employees and the long-term interests of the business.

Lead the Human Resources Function

Provide leadership for all HR operations, including employee relations, recruiting, onboarding, performance management, compensation, benefits administration, policy development, HRIS administration, compliance, and professional development. Develop and mentor our HR team while fostering a culture of responsiveness, accountability, collaboration, integrity, and outstanding service.

Deliver an Exceptional Employee Experience

Design and continuously improve every stage of the employee lifecycle from recruiting through onboarding, development, engagement, and retention.

Recruit Great People

Partner closely with attorneys to understand their staffing needs and oversee recruitment of talented legal support professionals who strengthen both our teams and our culture. Build lasting relationships with attorneys so they view HR as a strategic partner rather than simply an administrative function.

Keep the Firm Protected

Maintain expert knowledge of federal, state, and local employment laws, with particular expertise in California employment law. Ensure our handbook, policies, employment practices, and HR processes remain current, compliant, and scalable as the Firm grows.

Build Better Systems

Own and optimize the Firm's HRIS and HR technology platforms. Develop meaningful workforce metrics and reporting that help leadership make informed decisions regarding recruiting, retention, turnover, engagement, and organizational planning.

Lead Key Programs

Oversee planning and execution of the Firm's Summer Associate Program and support other leadership development, internship, and professional development initiatives. Collaborate across the Firm to ensure the Firm operates as one cohesive team.

What They Are Looking For

The ideal candidate will bring:

  • Significant Human Resources leadership experience, preferably within a law firm or other professional services organization.
  • SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or comparable HR certification preferred.
  • Strong working knowledge of California employment law and multi-state employment practices.
  • Experience leading and developing HR teams.
  • Expertise in recruiting, employee relations, compliance, performance management, compensation, benefits, and HRIS administration.
  • Excellent judgment, discretion, and problem-solving ability.
  • Outstanding communication skills and the ability to influence through credibility and relationships rather than authority alone.
  • A service mindset, balanced by sound business judgment.
  • Willingness to travel regularly between Firm offices.
