Hometown Soccer Holdings (HSH) is building something special, a portfolio of locally rooted MLS NEXT Pro clubs that reflect the passion, diversity, and community spirit of the sport and the places they call home. Creating clubs that genuinely matter to their communities starts with building an internal team that shares those values. The Vice President of People & Culture will serve as the enterprise HR leader responsible for shaping the people strategy, organizational culture, and talent infrastructure that enables HSH and its clubs to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent.
Reporting to the CEO, the VP of People & Culture will design and implement scalable HR systems, lead workforce planning and talent acquisition strategy, and build the leadership development programs needed to support a growing, geographically distributed organization. This leader will be an important cultural steward, championing the values and ways of working that define the HSH experience for employees across the enterprise and at the club level.
This is a meaningful opportunity for a people-first, operationally-minded HR executive to build the people function of a growing multi-club sports organization. The ideal candidate brings deep HR leadership experience, a background supporting distributed or growth-stage organizations, and a genuine passion for modern people practices and innovative workforce tools.
