Founding Head of HR Consulting (De Novo)

Division: Nxt Level — HR Consulting (New Practice Launch)
Location: Remote (USA) with occasional travel • Type: Full-time
Compensation: Competitive base + performance bonus + profit share/equity upside

Summary

We’re launching a brand-new HR Consulting arm at Nxt Level and looking for a founding operator to build it from zero to scale. You’ll have the backing of our recruiting engine, brand, tooling, and operations—while owning strategy, delivery, and growth for the practice. If you’re an entrepreneurial HR leader who can parachute into Seed/Series A/B environments, architect people systems, and ship outcomes quickly, let’s talk.

What You’ll Do

• Build the practice: Define service lines (Fractional HR, Org Design, Talent/People Ops, HRIS, Total Rewards, Performance & L&D, Manager Enablement, Compliance), delivery playbooks, pricing, and P&L cadence.

• Own client outcomes: Serve as fractional CHRO/Head of People for 3–8 clients (mix of Seed–Series B and scaling orgs).

• Design scalable systems: Stand up HR tech stacks (HRIS/ATS/engagement), workflows, SLAs, and reporting (board-ready dashboards).

• Partner with Recruiting: Translate hiring plans into workforce plans, compensation bands, and offer frameworks; increase offer acceptance and ramp speed.

• Advise founders & execs: Org design, culture & values rollouts, leadership coaching, performance architecture, employee relations risk mitigation.

• Ship compliant foundations: Multi-state compliance, handbooks, policies, ER protocols, investigations, and audit readiness.

• Create repeatable IP: Templates, toolkits, and SOPs we can productize across clients.

• Grow revenue: Scope, price, and expand engagements; help hire and mentor the next wave of HR consultants.

Target Client Profile & Problems You’ll Solve

• Seed: “We need HR basics now.” → handbooks, onboarding, HRIS, comp bands, first manager toolkits.

• Series A: “We’re hiring fast.” → workforce planning, recruiting capacity models, level guides, performance/OKRs.

• Series B: “We need to scale quality.” → manager enablement, pay architecture, career frameworks, ER maturity, people analytics.

• Scaling Orgs: “We need alignment + accountability.” → operating cadence, engagement programs, change management, M&A integration.
