This is a highly autonomous, self-directed role with a real seat at the table — the Director will act as a true advisor to the Partners and managers on all HR matters, with the opportunity to make an impact across the entire organization. Based onsite in Addison, TX Monday–Thursday, with WFH optional Fridays.
