Job Description
Director Human Resources
North Dallas, TX
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll oversee the HR team, support attorneys and staff across multiple offices, ensure compliance in a complex multi-state environment, and help build systems and processes that allow the Firm to continue growing.
Provide leadership for all HR operations, including employee relations, staff recruiting, onboarding, performance management, compensation, benefits administration, policy development, HRIS administration, compliance, and professional development.
Develop and mentor our HR team while fostering a culture of responsiveness, accountability, collaboration, integrity, and outstanding service.
• Design and continuously improve every stage of the employee lifecycle from recruiting through onboarding, development, engagement, and retention.
• Partner closely with attorneys to understand their staffing needs and oversee recruitment of talented legal support professionals who strengthen both our teams and our culture.
• Build lasting relationships with attorneys so they view HR as a strategic partner rather than simply an administrative function.
• Maintain expert knowledge of federal, state, and local employment laws, with particular expertise in California employment law.
• Ensure our handbook, policies, employment practices, and HR processes remain current, compliant, and scalable as the Firm grows.
• Own and optimize the Firm's HRIS and HR technology platforms.
• Develop meaningful workforce metrics and reporting that help leadership make informed decisions regarding recruiting, retention, turnover, engagement, and organizational planning.
• Participate in the planning and execution of the Firm's Summer Associate Program and support other leadership development, internship, and professional development initiatives.
• Partner closely with Finance, Operations, IT, Marketing, and other administrative departments to ensure the Firm operates as one cohesive team.
Requirements:
• Significant Human Resources leadership experience within a law firm setting.
• SHRM-SCP, SPHR, or comparable HR certification preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of California employment law and multi-state employment practices.
• Experience leading and developing HR teams.
• Expertise in recruiting, employee relations, compliance, performance management, compensation, benefits, and HRIS administration.
• Outstanding communication skills and the ability to influence through credibility and relationships rather than authority alone.
• A service mindset, balanced by sound business judgment.
• Willingness to travel regularly between Firm offices.
