About Tucker Stone
Tucker Stone is a boutique HR Search Firm with a phenomenal collection of HR relationships. We specialise in senior level appointments across the vast range of specialisms within HR. Our clients range from Start-Ups looking for their first HR Director, to FTSE 50 companies with large & complex HR functions. Our Search Partners are highly knowledgeable and have dedicated their careers to nurturing and developing their network.
Who we are
At Tucker Stone we encourage our Search Partners to hone their unique styles and relationships but we all feel a keen sense of pride and desire to be the best in the marketplace and recognise that we are strongest as a team. We share ideas, connections and relationships with one another to enable our candidates and clients to benefit from the entire Tucker Stone network.
What we do
We provide HR functional search expertise and can navigate the vast range of HR capability and skillsets that exist in companies of varying sizes and across all sectors.
We believe that senior-level HR skills and experience are highly transferable between sectors and we pride ourselves on finding synergies across the HR talent pool and encouraging industry mobility – as Search Partners we deliberately work across multiple sectors, so that we can continue to recognise opportunities for cross-pollination of industry and skillset.
Our candidates recognise the commitment and integrity of our Search Partners, and they reward us with their business and become our clients – it’s this organic growth of our network which enables to have such in-depth knowledge of our clients, and find them the best candidates.
We have honed our intuition to know who will thrive and succeed with whom. This ultimately means the way people communicate, build relationships, how they act and react in certain situations. It is these things that, time and time again, determine a successful Tucker Stone search and placement.
The Role
We are collaborating with a private equity-backed global software company with approximately 600 employees worldwide. They are seeking a VP of HR to join their executive team and play a crucial role in preparing the organization for its next growth phase. This leadership position will oversee the global HR function, which requires a comprehensive overhaul. This operations-focused HR transformation role has a clear mandate: to establish strong fundamentals, enhance HR systems and data, and create a credible, streamlined HR function. The ideal candidate will be a commercially-minded HR leader who prioritizes execution and can focus on essential tasks while disregarding distractions. While strategy is important, it is only effective once the basics are in place.
The Role
You will be responsible for transforming the global HR operating model, evaluating and upgrading core HR systems, establishing a single source of truth for people data, redesigning global people processes and solutions, and ensuring that the HR function can withstand scrutiny during an exit.
Responsibilities
- Own and transform the global HR operating model.
- Assess and upgrade core HR systems.
- Establish a single source of truth for people data.
- Redesign global people processes and solutions.
- Ensure the HR function is robust and effective.
Requirements
- Global HR experience within a technology-focused business.
- Previous HR leadership role in a private equity-backed organization.
- Understanding of building an effective HR function in a remote-first environment.
- Knowledge of global employment law, working practices, and culture across Europe, the US, and APAC.
- Strong focus on data, HR operations, processes, and efficiency.
- Hands-on leadership style, with the ability to lead by example and actively participate in tasks.
This position is ideal for someone who has either:
- Managed an HR operations team in a larger organization and understands best practices in processes, data, and efficiencies.
- Built an HR function previously and can prioritize key aspects in a private equity context.
You will be a pragmatic and commercially-minded HR operator with international experience, someone who thrives on creating order from complexity and is driven by defined challenges and a results-oriented role.
Due to the expected high volume of applications, we will not be able to respond to candidates who reach out directly. Please submit your application through the LinkedIn process.
