About The Position

We're recruiting an HR strategist for our client, Awayday, a PE-backed vacation rental platform on the move. This role is about building the HR function, not just maintaining it. Awayday is a growing company with over 55 brands and 1,700+ employees across 13+ states, expanding through acquisitions. The company needs fast, disciplined people decisions to support its growth. This position is ideal for someone who can take undefined HR problems and develop them into actionable initiatives, owning the roadmap from prioritization and piloting to scaling across a decentralized organization where influence, not authority, is key. The role involves creating a unified dashboard for leadership to view people functions, moving beyond spreadsheets, and verifying program effectiveness in the field. This is a builder role for individuals with a post-MBA background from top consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) looking to own outcomes and drive impact in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment.

Requirements

• 3+ years in management consulting (MBB or Tier 2), corporate strategy, or a PMO / continuous-improvement function
• A track record of taking an ambiguous problem and working backward into structured, workable pieces
• Program and project management across stakeholders you don't control
• Data analysis, dashboard, and scorecard fluency
• Comfort in a lean, resource-constrained, PE-backed environment
• Skills: Management Consulting, Program Management, Business Process Improvement, Six Sigma, Lean, Change Management, Data Analysis, Dashboards & Scorecards, Cross-functional Collaboration, Strategic Planning

Nice To Haves

• MBA preferred
• Six Sigma, Lean, or equivalent process-improvement exposure (Green Belt a plus)
• HR, human capital, or people-strategy exposure a plus, not required

Responsibilities

• Own the HR strategic initiative roadmap: scope ambiguous priorities into initiatives with milestones, owners, and timelines
• Run a crawl-walk-run approach: pilot small, measure impact, scale platform-wide
• Build and maintain HR metrics dashboards and scorecards across engagement, staffing, recruiting, and total cost
• Apply structured problem-solving (Six Sigma / Lean / DMAIC) to break complex problems into workable modules
• Manage cross-functional programs across Talent, Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, and Operations without formal authority
• Partner with regional HRBPs and brand presidents to drive adoption in the field
