🏢 Confidential Search via Career Staffing Talent (CST)

💼 Full-Time | HR Leadership

💰 Up to $150K base salary + Bonus (DOE)

Career Staffing Talent (CST) has been retained on a confidential search for an HR Director to join a product-led, global SaaS company operating in a highly regulated, data-driven environment.

Reporting to executive leadership, this individual will lead the U.S. HR function while partnering cross-functionally to support continued growth, organizational scale, and workforce performance.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives in SaaS and startup environments and enjoys building, scaling, and optimizing HR infrastructure.

🚀 What You’ll Own

✔️ Lead HR strategy and execution across the U.S. business (multi-region, East Coast focus)

✔️ Partner with executive leadership on organizational design, workforce planning, and scaling initiatives

✔️ Serve as a key partner within a global HR structure, aligning U.S. efforts with broader business objectives

✔️ Oversee and develop the U.S. HR team, driving performance and accountability

✔️ Design and evolve compensation, bonus, and performance management programs

✔️ Lead annual performance cycles, calibration, and merit planning

✔️ Build and enhance people analytics and data-driven decision-making capabilities

✔️ Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, and other internal stakeholders to ensure compliance and operational excellence

✔️ Act as a trusted advisor on employee relations, change management, and talent development

✔️ Help shape a high-performance, growth-oriented culture

🧠 What They’re Looking For

✔️ Proven experience as an HR Director or senior HR leader supporting U.S. operations

✔️ Background in SaaS, technology, or product-led environments

✔️ Experience in startup or high-growth companies — builder mindset required

✔️ Strong experience supporting multi-state / multi-region workforces

✔️ Hands-on operator — comfortable owning both strategy and execution

✔️ Deep expertise in compensation, performance management, and HR operations

✔️ Strong business partner — able to influence and advise leadership

✔️ Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills

✔️ Deep knowledge of U.S. employment law and compliance

➕ Nice to Have

✔️ Experience in regulated or data-driven industries (e.g., fintech, payments, risk, compliance)

✔️ Exposure to global teams and distributed workforces

✔️ SHRM certification or equivalent

🔥 Why This Role Stands Out

✔️ Opportunity to build and scale HR in a growing SaaS company

✔️ Direct exposure to executive leadership and strategic decision-making

✔️ High-impact role supporting multi-region U.S. growth

✔️ You are not a cog in the wheel — this role directly influences company trajectory
