Talent Acquisition & People Operations Manager

Civil CFO • Dallas, TX

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

Civil CFO is a fast-growing, construction-focused Fractional CFO firm based in Dallas. We place experienced CFOs with mid-market construction companies that need senior financial leadership but aren't ready for a full-time hire. Our work is built on trust, business judgment, and genuinely caring about the people and businesses we serve. We're a faith-driven firm — that shapes how we treat clients, how we work together, and the kind of team we're building. We're a small team (six today, scaling to thirty-plus over the next few years) with big ambitions and a high bar for who joins us. We're hiring our first dedicated Talent Acquisition & People Operations Manager to help us scale intentionally. This is a working role with two equally important sides: active hunting (outbound sourcing of senior CFOs and finance leaders) and operational ownership (owning our ATS, candidate experience, interview coordination, and onboarding process). This isn't a strategic seat looking down on the work. It's a hands-on seat where you do the work, build the systems, and grow into broader scope as the firm grows.

Requirements

• Experience recruiting executives in finance, consulting, or professional services
• Comfortable spending real hours each week in active outbound sourcing — LinkedIn Recruiter, email sequences, follow-up — not just managing pipeline from above
• Equally comfortable in the operational weeds — ATS administration, scheduling, debriefs, onboarding logistics. You're not above the work.
• Strong, polished communication; can represent the firm to $300K+ executives
• Business-minded and consultative — you ask why before how
• Organized, process-oriented, and high follow-through
• Comfortable in a small, entrepreneurial environment without big-company scaffolding
• Wants to build something — not maintain what someone else built

Responsibilities

• Daily outbound sourcing to senior CFOs and finance leaders — LinkedIn Recruiter, email sequences, referrals — building a warm bench of passive executive talent
• The ATS and candidate experience end-to-end — every candidate gets a clear, professional, well-run process from first touch through offer
• Interview process coordination — scheduling, debriefs, scorecards, decision discipline across our panels
• Onboarding from offer-accepted through day 100 — new CFOs and internal hires feel set up to win from week one
• Full-cycle recruiting for Fractional CFO and advisory hires, from first outreach through close
• Continuously improving our hiring systems, interview process, and candidate experience
• Representing the firm and brand to the executive market
• Partnering directly with ownership on hiring strategy and talent planning

Benefits

• Base salary: $115,000–$140,000 depending on experience
• Performance bonus: $30,000–$50,000 target, tied to successful hires, retention, process improvements, and pipeline development
• Total target compensation: $145,000–$190,000
• Health care + PTO
• Growth Path: This role is built to grow. You're the first dedicated person owning this function — you'll build the muscle, the systems, and the team. As Civil CFO scales, the right person can grow into leading our broader talent strategy, recruiting infrastructure, onboarding systems, and people operations. This is a Head of People arc for someone willing to do the work today to earn that scope tomorrow.
