About the Role

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief People Officer (CPO) will play a critical role in shaping the performance and culture of the company's steadily growing organization. This high-energy individual will collaborate closely with the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and HR team to evolve the HR function into an approachable, strategic resource. The CPO will define HR strategy, drive value creation, and champion a culture of high performance and positive employee relations.

This role’s strategic focus will include, but is not limited to: Talent Acquisition, People Operations, Learning & Development, Talent Management, Total Rewards, and Employee Experience. Supported by company goal-setting environment and OKR (Objectives and Key Results) framework, the CPO will lead the development and implementation of scalable people strategies—ensuring teams have the capabilities necessary to achieve business success.

The ideal candidate is an agile, loyal, and highly collaborative project and process manager with strong business acumen and excellent communication skills. While we lead the evolution of the construction industry with innovative, polished solutions, we do so with a personable, informal, “buttoned-down” approach. Our deep relationships drive our success, and our next people leader must embody that philosophy in every interaction.
