Job Description

About The Role

This isn’t a compliance role - it’s a leadership seat for someone who thinks like a business partner, coaches like a performance psychologist, and builds like a seasoned operator.

Your mission: make Mosaic a place where exceptional people do their best, most meaningful work—together.

We rally around a shared purpose: serving entrepreneurial families who shape the communities where we live, learn, nourish, worship, heal, and work. We're building an environment that is:

· Intellectually rigorous – grounded in sharp thinking and high standards

· Relationally rewarding – fueled by trust, humility, and shared purpose

· Financially rewarding – aligned incentives that reflect real impact

You’ll lead the design and rhythm of Mosaic’s people and culture strategy—shaping talent plans, coaching leaders, and building systems that scale with us.

Your goal: help us stay rigorous, human, and mission-aligned as we both grow and scale.

Ask yourself:

· Do you build strong, trusted relationships—with both the business and the team?

· Do you shape talent, org, and leadership strategies that fuel long-term success?

· Do you bring empathy and clarity to tough conversations—and help others do the same?

If so, our Head of People & Culture role may be for you.

Company

As a boutique advisory firm, Mosaic’s 26 team members serve a handful of entrepreneurial families with significant illiquid holdings such as operating companies and real estate portfolios.

Unlike most professional advisors, we don’t charge hourly, manage money for a fee, sell insurance products, draft legal documents, or prepare tax returns. Instead, Mosaic was built on a unique business model – to provide unbiased, comprehensive advice in exchange for a flat quarterly retainer.

By completely aligning our financial incentives with our client’s interests, we neutralize professional egos, eliminate conflicts of interest, and remain agnostic as to the makeup of our client's outside advisory team. As a result, we don’t compete with other advisors—we complement them.

Location

We believe the serendipity that comes from the entire team working together in the same space can’t be replicated online. Because of this, we collaborate in the office every day. While remote or hybrid positions aren’t offered, flexibility is available as needed.

Core Responsibilities

Talent Strategy & Leadership Development:

You’ll shape the systems and coaching that grow leaders and scale talent.

You will:

• Design Mosaic’s long-term talent blueprint—defining the people, skills, and structure we need to scale
• Lead succession planning and internal mobility for key roles and emerging leaders
• Coach department heads to lead with clarity, candor, and empathy
• Build structured development paths, mentoring programs, and learning frameworks
• Champion a culture of growth, feedback, and forward motion

Workforce Planning & Organizational Design

You’ll ensure Mosaic’s team structure scales in step with our strategy.

You will:

• Align org design with business goals through thoughtful structure and cross-functional collaboration
• Lead capacity planning, headcount forecasting, and dynamic staffing strategies
• Use people data and performance insights to guide team development and decision-making
• Identify skill and capability gaps—and close them through hiring, development, or restructuring

Culture & Employee Experience

You’ll protect and evolve the culture that makes Mosaic feel like Mosaic.

You will:

• Serve as the steward of Mosaic’s values and team norms
• Design and manage the full employee experience—from recruiting to offboarding—so every touchpoint reflects who we are
• Monitor employee sentiment and engagement, acting early when things drift
• Design and deploy pulse surveys to surface insights and guide improvements
• Be a confidential sounding board for team members and a truth-teller for leadership
• Anticipate friction and “see around corners” to prevent misalignment and drift

Goal Setting & Accountability

You’ll help the team stay focused, aligned, and accountable to what matters most.

You will:

• Facilitate clear, measurable goal-setting at the individual, department, and firm level
• Serve as an accountability partner—supporting execution, unblocking challenges, and course-correcting when needed
• Build simple, effective systems that drive ownership without adding red tape
• Oversee professional development milestones, including successful completion of industry exams and certifications

Operational Support & Project Ownership

You’ll build the systems and rhythms that help the team stay aligned, accountable, and high-performing.

• Accountability and org charts
• Role clarity documents
• Use tools like Clockify to improve time allocation and team efficiency
• Track and manage operational KPIs to drive clarity and execution
• Lead process design and cross-functional HR initiatives

You’ll regularly lead:

• Monthly department reviews
• Quarterly department goal reviews
• Annual goal-setting across the firm, departments, and individuals

You’ll regularly contribute to:

• Weekly departmental W.I.P. meetings
• Quarterly strategic planning sessions with firm leadership

• You will collaborate closely with department heads across Planning, Investments, Family Operations, and Firm Operations
• You’ll lead HR initiatives directly and be supported by the Firm Operations Manager for execution and systems
• We use Rippling as our People Management Tool, with opportunities to expand our HR tech stack as needed

• We limit the number of new clients we accept so we can deliver extraordinary service.
