Head of People & Culture

Head of People & Culture (Sr. Director)

Momentum is seeking a strategic, people-first, and forward-thinking Head of People & Culture to lead HR strategy and execution for our growing team of ~120 corporate employees. In this high-impact, global role, you will serve as the primary business partner to leaders across our Finance, Legal, IT, Accounting, Corporate Development, and Workplace Experience teams—delivering HR leadership that scales with our business and strengthens our people experience. Enabling our corporate teams to thrive and perform at their best accelerates growth across the full Momentum portfolio of companies. 

This role reports directly to the SVP, Head of Talent at Momentum and will operate as both a trusted advisor and a builder, shaping culture, championing people strategies, and driving programs that align with our mission, values, and growth goals. While this role is rooted in deep HR business partnership, it also offers the opportunity to originate, design, and launch new initiatives that foster engagement, elevate performance, and reinforce Momentum as an employer of choice.

This position supports a global employee base—primarily in the U.S., with growing teams in the UK and Costa Rica—and will manage two HR Generalists, with the opportunity to scale the team over time. You will also collaborate closely with People & Culture leaders across our portfolio companies, serving as a connective thread in advancing people priorities across the Momentum ecosystem.

The role is based in Dallas, TX, working from our headquarters at The Link (2601 Olive Street) on a hybrid schedule (4 days onsite).
