A premier advisory firm providing valuation, compliance, and consulting services is seeking a Chief People Officer to lead the transformation of its HR function from transactional operations into a strategic growth driver. Backed by a leading middle-market private equity firm, the company is executing a multi-lever growth strategy through organic expansion, acquisitions, and the build-out of a consulting practice.

The Role:

Reporting to the CEO and partnering with the executive leadership team, the CPO will own the people strategy across the firm's valuation and consulting business lines. This includes talent management infrastructure, performance systems, M&A integration, and the cultural operating model required to attract, develop, and retain the professionals who drive revenue and client delivery.

Key Focus Areas:

Build talent management, succession planning, and career pathing across professional services practices
Lead all people-side M&A integration from diligence through post-close
Implement performance management tied to business KPIs
Design compensation frameworks aligned with revenue contribution and leadership growth
Scale HR systems and analytics across a growing, multi-entity platform

What We're Looking For:

Senior HR leadership (CPO, CHRO, VP HR) in professional services, consulting, or knowledge-intensive advisory environments
Track record transforming HR from transactional to strategic
Experience building bench strength and leadership pipelines where talent is the product
Proven M&A people integration across multiple transactions
Direct partnership with C-suite, Boards, and PE sponsors

This is a high-visibility seat with direct access to the CEO and PE sponsor. The right leader will shape how the firm builds, develops, and retains the talent that powers its next phase of growth.
