Grade Level (for internal use):
09Reports to: Chief People Officer
The Executive Assistant serves as a trusted partner to the Chief People Officer (CPO), supporting the CPO’s broader portfolio across People, Global Security, Site Operations, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The role manages complex priorities across time zones and senior stakeholders with sound judgment, discretion, and executive presence. In this high-visibility role within a fast-paced global organization, the ideal candidate brings high integrity, anticipates needs, protects the CPO’s time, brings structure to a changing environment, and represents the CPO and the People function with the highest level of professionalism.
The Team
The People Leadership Team partners with the CPO and business leaders to balance people and performance across a global, matrixed organization. The team operates with urgency, accountability, and collaboration, and values professionalism, responsiveness, sound judgment, and a solution-oriented mindset.
The Impact
The Executive Assistant is essential to the day-to-day effectiveness of the Chief People Officer. By optimizing the CPO’s time, ensuring readiness for critical meetings and decisions, managing confidential information, and coordinating with senior leaders across the enterprise, this role enables the CPO to focus on strategic priorities. The Executive Assistant sets a high bar and role-models our core values of Discovery, Partnership, and Integrity in every interaction with internal and external stakeholders.
What's in It for You
- You will be a critical, day-to-day partner to the Chief People Officer, with exposure to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), Board-level preparation, and global business leaders.
- You will help shape how the People Team operates while working in a forward-thinking, nimble, People Forward organization that offers continued opportunities for growth and development.
Responsibilities
- Own the CPO’s complex, high-volume, and constantly changing calendar and inbox across global time zones. Exercise judgment about what needs the CPO’s time, what can be redirected, and what requires immediate attention. Within agreed guidelines, resolve conflicts, decline or redirect requests, and draft routine responses on the CPO’s behalf.
- Serve as the first point of contact and trusted gatekeeper for the CPO, triaging calls, meeting requests, and other inquiries. Handle highly confidential employee, talent, compensation, and Board information with integrity and discretion, and exercise sound judgment about what to escalate and when.
- Build strong working relationships with the CEO’s office and executive assistants across the ELT to anticipate scheduling conflicts, coordinate executive meetings, and keep commitments on track.
- Coordinate the CPO’s domestic and international travel, including working with local offices, managing last-minute changes, detailed itineraries, visa applications, and timely monthly expense reconciliation. The role itself requires minimal travel.
- Coordinate the CPO’s participation in ELT and Board-related meetings, owning scheduling and logistics, and partner with the Chief of Staff and relevant leaders on briefing materials and follow-up. Schedule and manage People Leadership Team meetings, talent reviews, operating reviews, and confidential HR discussions.
- Drive executive readiness and follow-through by preparing agendas, briefing materials, and high-quality PowerPoint presentations; compiling meeting and travel documents; capturing decisions and commitments; and tracking key action items through completion.
- Own virtual and in-person meeting logistics across Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and hybrid environments, including conference rooms, facilities, AV, and catering.
- Represent the CPO with senior stakeholders and serve as a trusted liaison to ELT members, Board members, People leaders, and cross-functional partners, including Communications, Legal, Risk & Compliance, and Audit.
- Support initiatives across the CPO’s portfolio, including town halls, leadership offsites, and strategic projects as needed.
- Anticipate executive needs and continuously improve processes, workflows, and information management. Use AI solutions and tools such as Copilot to streamline routine work, strengthen preparation and follow-through, and modernize the executive support model.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in executive team Lead, human resources jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in human resources, business administration, or a related field
- PHR or SHRM-CP certification strongly preferred or required
- Three or more years of HR generalist or HR leadership experience
- Experience managing employee relations, investigations, and performance management processes
- Proficiency with HRIS platforms and applicant tracking systems
- Working knowledge of federal and state employment law and compliance requirements
Tips for Your Executive Team Lead, Human Resources Job Search
Tailor your resume for the dual role
Executive team lead, human resources positions blend people leadership with HR functional expertise. Your resume needs to show both: quantify team outcomes you drove and HR programs you owned, not just duties you held in either area.
Highlight compliance and policy ownership
Hiring managers for these roles want to see direct ownership of HR policy, not just compliance awareness. Call out specific policy frameworks you wrote, updated, or enforced, including any experience with multi-state employment law or workforce investigations.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists executive team lead, human resources openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prep concrete examples of conflict resolution
Interviewers for executive team lead, human resources roles almost always ask for behavioral examples of handling employee relations issues. Prepare two or three specific situations where you resolved a complaint, managed a termination, or mediated a team conflict with a clear outcome.
Research the company's HR structure before applying
Some organizations expect this role to be a solo HR generalist covering everything. Others put you inside a larger HR department with narrow scope. Check job descriptions carefully for reporting lines and team size so you target roles that match your working style.
Negotiate for scope, not just title
When you receive an offer, ask directly which HR functions fall under your authority and what your decision-making limits are on headcount and policy changes. Scope mismatches in this role are a leading reason people leave within the first year.
Executive Team Lead, Human Resources Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most executive team lead, human resourcess?
The companies hiring the most executive team lead, human resourcess right now include Target, Intuit, and Free People, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Utah, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Retail, healthcare, and logistics organizations tend to post the highest volume of these roles due to large frontline workforces requiring dedicated HR leadership.
How many executive team lead, human resources jobs are remote?
About 100% of executive team lead, human resources openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though fully on-site roles remain common because employee relations and team oversight often require an in-person presence. HR operations, recruiting coordination, and policy development sub-functions tend to offer the most remote flexibility within this role type.
How do you become a executive team lead, human resources?
Start by building a foundation in HR generalist work, covering recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, and compliance, before moving into roles that add direct people management. Earning a PHR or SHRM-CP certification signals readiness for leadership. From there, seek out positions where you own an HR function end to end for a business unit or location, which is the experience most employers want to see before promoting someone into an executive team lead role.
Can I get hired as an executive team lead, human resources with little experience?
It's possible if you've held a senior HR coordinator or HR generalist role and can show you've independently managed an employee relations case, run a full-cycle recruiting process, or led a compliance initiative without close supervision. Employers in mid-size organizations are more open to candidates with less tenure if they demonstrate clear ownership of HR outcomes rather than just support-level work. A relevant certification helps close the experience gap.
What does the executive team lead, human resources interview process look like?
Most processes start with a recruiter screen focused on HR background and culture fit, followed by a panel or hiring manager interview built heavily around behavioral questions on employee relations, conflict resolution, and HR policy decisions. Many employers add a scenario or case exercise where you walk through how you'd handle a specific HR situation. Final rounds typically include a conversation with a senior operations or business leader who wants to assess how you'd partner cross-functionally.
Where can I find and apply to executive team lead, human resources jobs?
You can find and apply to executive team lead, human resources jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your background and apply directly to each listing.
