Job Summary/Company:

Sparks Group has partnered with a global BRB technology company to find a strategic, hands-on Head of Human Resources to architect and lead all people functions across our parent company and four rapidly scaling business units. This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for building a cohesive, future-ready HR infrastructure while tailoring people strategies, compliance frameworks, and talent operations to the unique needs of each entity and jurisdiction. The ideal candidate is energized by high-growth environments and thrives in building from the ground up—bringing both vision and execution. You’ll operate as a true partner to leadership, shaping organizational design, driving scalable people programs, and ensuring a best-in-class employee experience across a complex, multi-entity landscape. Position is 100% on site five days a week.

Responsibilities:

Strategic HR Leadership

  • Develop and execute the multi-entity HR strategy aligned with companywide goals.
  • Build scalable People Ops systems that function across U.S. and international subsidiaries.

People Operations & Compliance

  • Create, maintain, and enforce HR policies, handbooks, and SOPs for each entity.
  • Ensure compliance with labor laws across multiple jurisdictions (U.S., MX, EU, etc.).
  • Oversee payroll operations, benefits administration, time-off policies, and local compliance requirements for each country/entity.
  • Manage onboarding and offboarding processes, equipment provisioning, and HRIS upkeep (Gusto, Deel, etc.).
  • Own immigration, contractor classification, and cross-border employment requirements.
  • Develop performance management cycles (90-day, 6-month, annual reviews).
  • Implement professional development programs, L&D initiatives, and internal mobility pathways.

Employee Relations & Culture

  • Promote a positive, inclusive culture across all subsidiaries and remote teams.
  • Lead conflict resolution, investigations, disciplinary processes, and sensitive employee matters.
  • Build engagement programs, company-wide communication frameworks, and all-hands processes.

HR Infrastructure & Systems

  • Implement and manage HRIS, payroll, MDM, and performance tools across entities.
  • Own data integrity, reporting dashboards, and headcount analytics.
  • Create unified documentation (Confluence Employee Hub, onboarding flows, policy libraries).

Cross-Entity Leadership

  • Serve as the centralized HR lead for the parent company while supporting entity-specific needs
  • Adapt HR processes to each entity’s regulatory, payroll, and staffing requirements.
  • Build and manage localized HR leads or external HR partners as needed.
  • Ideal Candidate:
    • 5–8 years of progressive HR experience, with a clear track record of rapid growth and increasing responsibility
    • Bilingual - Spanish Speaking Preferred
    • Demonstrated success operating in high-growth or startup environments, with the ability to build processes, policies, and programs from the ground up
    • Strong entrepreneurial mindset—comfortable with ambiguity, adaptable, and energized by building rather than maintaining
    • Proven ability to take ownership of HR functions, driving initiatives independently while partnering closely with leadership
    • Experience supporting multi-entity and/or global organizations is a strong plus
    • Passion for culture-building, employee experience, and shaping the people strategy of a growing organization
    • Willingness to be both strategic and highly hands-on, balancing big-picture thinking with day-to-day execution
    • Highly motivated, ambitious, and driven to grow their career alongside a scaling company
    • This position is onsite at our Boston HQ located next to South Station.
