Director, Human Resources

About Us
Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today — we’re changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power — delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America’s energy and future right where it’s needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we’re reshaping how — and how fast — energy gets built in the U.S.

Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.

Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.

We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously — but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we’re collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other — whether that’s troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.

If you’re looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment — and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. — we’d love to meet you.

About The Role
We’re seeking a Director of Human Resources who brings strategic thinking, operational rigor, and a hands-on approach to elevate our People function. Reporting to the Head of People, you’ll drive initiatives that improve organizational performance, talent outcomes, and the employee experience.

This role is ideal for an HR professional who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. You’ll lead high-impact projects, optimize core people processes, and deliver data-driven insights. With experience in strategic HR operations and analytics, you bring a passion for supporting driven teams in a fast-paced and fast-growing company.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Initiative Execution: Design and drive high-impact people initiatives across the organization — from performance and compensation management to employee experience. Own the development of executive-ready decks and materials that clearly communicate strategy, progress, and recommendations
• Research & Analysis: Conduct in-depth research and data analysis on HR trends, internal workforce metrics and engagement survey results. Translate complex findings into actionable insights to support decision-making and continuous improvement across People programs
• Process & Workflow Optimization: Audit, streamline, and document People team processes including recruiting, onboarding, performance management, internal communications, and learning initiatives. Build templates, dashboards, and playbooks to enable consistency, efficiency, and scalability
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Act as a trusted partner and point of contact for People-related collaboration across departments. Ensure alignment between People initiatives and broader business goals through meticulous project tracking, stakeholder management, and clear communication
• Trusted Execution Partner: Serve as a reliable, detail-oriented execution partner to the Head of People. Anticipate needs, manage priorities, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks — from preparing for exec meetings to following up on key decisions. Step in to execute when needed, for example recruiting for a hard to fill role or managing employee relations issues as they arise, dependent on your areas of expertise.
