grantstreet - HR Director
Requirements
• 10+ years of progressive HR experience, including significant leadership responsibility in a growing organization • Demonstrated experience scaling an HR function from a smaller company (or business unit) to a significantly larger, more complex organization • Proven track record as a strategic HR partner to senior leaders, with the ability to influence decisions at the organizational level • Experience working within high-growth companies is strongly preferred (e.g., board exposure, value creation planning, or rapid scaling environments) • Broad experience across multiple HR domains (e.g., people operations, employee relations, performance management, compensation, and recruiting) • Ability to build and improve processes that are rigorous enough for scale but flexible enough for a dynamic environment • Demonstrated ability to scale organizations while maintaining strong, healthy cultures • Thoughtful approach to introducing structure—knowing when to build process and when to keep things simple • Strong judgment and discretion, especially when handling sensitive employee relations and performance matters • Data-driven mindset, with the ability to use HR and business data to inform decisions and advise leaders • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex or sensitive topics clearly and directly • Comfort working in a fully remote, highly collaborative environment across time zones • As HR Director, you’ll lead and grow a multi-disciplinary HR team responsible for finding, supporting, and developing our people across the organization. You’ll own the overall HR strategy, bring structure to a growing environment, and ensure our people programs support both our long-term vision and day-to-day operations. • As we continue to grow, this role will play a key part in shaping how the organization scales—strengthening our leadership infrastructure, building effective systems, and ensuring we evolve thoughtfully. A central priority will be introducing the right level of structure and rigor while preserving the culture and ways of working that have made the company successful. We value a pragmatic, low-bureaucracy approach and are looking for someone who can build for scale without over-engineering. • We don’t believe that humans are a resource. Instead, we aim to be a resource for the people who work here. If you are energized by combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution, this could be the role for you.
