Job description

Legal Defense Fund’s bold vision for its Human Resources team is for the organization to be known for its vibrant culture, for supporting its people, and for being a place where top talent comes to make civil rights history. The Head of People and Culture is a strategic and operational leader responsible for building, modernizing, and stewarding a high-performing, mission-aligned people function that utilizes best practices, improves the employee experience, and builds on the organization’s legacy and established culture to reach our vision.
This leader will partner with the Chief Operations Officer & General Counsel, executive and senior leadership, and HR staff to set forth and implement an actionable plan to achieve this vision and attract, grow, and retain the right talent in the right roles. In addition to deep expertise in human resources best practices and compliance requirements, a successful leader will have a strong understanding of and experience with change management, recognize the importance of stakeholder engagement and experience, have deep experience in talent and culture, and will be able to take a long-term view of culture and organizational change.
 
This role will oversee all aspects of human resources, including talent acquisition, people development and culture, employee relations, HRIS and data analytics, operations and compliance, and total rewards. The Head of People and Culture will strengthen organizational culture; elevate employee morale and engagement; and ensure that policies, systems, and practices support equity, accountability, and performance.
This leader will be responsible for strengthening foundational HR practices while leading the continued evolution of the People function in service of the needs and structures of LDF. This includes addressing opportunities to enhance consistency in operational processes, decision-making, and internal trust, while advancing a more proactive, strategic, and data-informed approach. 

This position is based in LDF’s New York, NY office. The anticipated salary range for this role is $210,000 - $225,000, depending on professional credentials and experience.
