Human Resources Director

Opportunity Overview

A fast-expanding organization with several business entities is hiring a Director of People Operations / Director of Human Resources to join its executive leadership team. The role is designed for a senior HR leader who can shape the people function, strengthen culture, and put scalable infrastructure in place to support continued growth.

The company has grown from roughly $13 million in annual revenue to $25 million and is expected to surpass $40 million this year. It operates across multiple companies and Florida locations, and leadership is looking for someone who can align HR practices across the business, support compliance, and build systems that can grow with the organization.

Candidates based in the Tampa Bay area or the Treasure Coast, including Stuart, are preferred. Hybrid or remote arrangements may be available for exceptional candidates, with occasional travel to company locations required.
