Senior Manager, HR Strategic Initiatives

Resourcing Edge • Destin, FL

About The Position

We're recruiting an HR strategist for our client, Awayday, a PE-backed vacation rental platform on the move. Most HR jobs keep the machine running. This one builds it. Awayday is 55+ brands, 1,700+ employees, 13+ states, and growing through acquisition. They give strong local operators the scale they couldn't reach alone. That runs on fast, disciplined people decisions. That's the job. You take the HR problems nobody has scoped yet and turn them into something that ships. Not a caretaker role. A builder. You own the initiative roadmap: pick the priority, pilot small, prove it with real numbers, then scale it across a decentralized org where you have influence but no authority. You build the single dashboard that gives leadership one clean view of the people functions instead of ten conflicting spreadsheets. And you get on the plane to check whether your programs actually land in the field or just look good in a deck. If you're a post-MBA consultant out of McKinsey, Bain, or BCG (roughly 18 months to 3 years in and eyeing the EM promotion), this is the seat where you skip the slide and own the outcome. PE pace. Low ego, high ownership. Remote, with travel.

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

Nice To Haves

• Apply structured problem-solving (Six Sigma / Lean / DMAIC) to break complex problems into workable modules
