Director of People Services (Human Resources)

Location: Los Angeles | On-Site — non-negotiable, local candidates only

SprintRay is seeking a strategic, business-first Human Resources executive—not just a seasoned HR leader, but a true business thought partner who sees around corners, drives cross-functional impact, and thrives in the high-stakes world of global innovation. Reporting directly to the President, you will shape the future of SprintRay’s workforce, culture, and performance—guiding our People Services teams in the U.S., India, and across international markets.

This is far more than a policy-and-process role. We’re looking for a leader who deeply understands the business of business—someone who can think like an executive, advise the C-suite, and translate strategy into actionable people initiatives. This role demands a sharp commercial mindset, the ability to influence across functions, and the urgency to drive meaningful change. As SprintRay celebrates its 10th anniversary and accelerates into its next phase of global growth, this is a rare opportunity to help shape our future from the inside out—at the intersection of innovation, transformation, and culture.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the executive team, aligning HR initiatives with business growth, operational needs, and evolving market dynamics.
• Lead a bi-continental People Services team (U.S. and India), advise our EMEA HR team, and coordinate with our PEO partner in Latin America.
• Act as a cultural architect—helping scale leadership capability, elevate performance, and drive engagement across global teams.
• Build leadership development, succession, and performance optimization programs that fuel business outcomes.

• Own compensation strategy, benefits programs, and pay equity practices to ensure competitiveness and fairness across markets.
• Provide strategic counsel to our EMEA partners, ensuring alignment with global standards while respecting regional nuance.
• Integrate AI, analytics, and HR tech to deliver smart, streamlined people operations and decision-making.

• Lead change management initiatives that support rapid scale and cultural transformation.
• Design and execute employee engagement programs that align with SprintRay’s core values and business priorities.
• Partner with leaders to resolve complex people issues with clarity, speed, and fairness.
• Facilitate company-wide communications, internal events, and rituals that build community and alignment across geographies.

What We’re Looking For

• 15+ years in progressive HR roles, with global leadership experience and executive-level advisory capability.
• Proven ability to lead in fast-paced, high-growth environments with a bias for action and measurable outcomes.
• Deep knowledge of U.S. labor law (especially California), with international HR exposure across Canada, India, and EMEA.
• Strong financial literacy and business acumen—you speak the language of P&L, operations, and growth strategy.
• Expertise in HR analytics, organizational design, talent strategy, and compliance.
• Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s preferred. SHRM-SCP, PHR, or CPTD a plus.
