the opportunity
when leadership shifts, growth accelerates, or a business transforms, hr can't be reactive. We place chros who stabilize the people engine, protect culture, and modernize operations fast, discreetly, and with clarity within mexico-based organizations and cross-border environments.

* stabilize hr operations in mexico: employee relations, labor compliance, policies, and core rhythms.
* modernize talent practices: org design, performance, succession, and leadership development.
* lead change during transitions (ceo/cfo exits, m&a, restructure, rapid scaling).
* build/upgrade the hr function: hrbp model, comp philosophy, manager capability, and systems.
* improve hiring quality and speed in partnership with leadership and recruiting.
* create a people dashboard: retention, engagement, performance, and workforce planning.
what "great" looks like in the first 30–60 days:
* calm and credibility: leaders feel supported; employee issues are handled cleanly.
* clear organization and people priorities with a realistic execution plan.
* a strong manager cadence (expectations, feedback loops, performance clarity).
* immediate risk reduction: solid er and compliance processes aligned to mexican labor requirements.
ideal profile:
* chro, svp people, or hr transformation leader with broad scope (operations + strategy).
* fortune 500 experience and the maturity to lead in high-accountability environments.
* strong in change management, org design, leadership advising, and high-stakes employee matters.
* experience in the industries we serve (consumer and retail, logistics and distribution, manufacturing and industrial, healthcare non-clinical, pe portfolio).
* spanish required; english strongly preferred for cross-border and distributed teams.
