Interim HR Leader for Parental Leave Backfill at a Tech Startup

When the full-time head of people was preparing for family leave at a FinTech startup, our client sought an interim HR professional to lead the people operations and talent acquisition team and to provide strategic, tactical partnership to executive leadership team. This interim leader would step in to drive several initiatives including performance/compensation cycles, promotion calibrations, benchmarking, and negotiations while ensuring the seamless operation and collaboration between the HR function and the rest of the organization.  

Business Talent Group (BTG) provided an HR operations executive with over 15 years’ experience advising top companies on scaling people and talent programs from seed through periods of hyper growth. She specializes in helping companies build strong people operations foundations, creating top-notch employee experiences, planning, and providing strategic and tactical support across all areas of HR and recruiting. This hands-on leader was able to steady the ship during the leave and was a value-add partner to internal stakeholders across HR, recruiting, and executive leadership. She had the skillset and know-how to advise on timely compensation topics and oversee teams as day-to-day operations continued without delay or hiccup.
