Lead, People & Talent

Tysons, VA

The Role

Madison is hiring a Lead, People & Talent to serve as a key partner to the Chief People Officer. This person will serve as a primary people business partner to leaders across the organization, directly supporting leaders with talent acquisition and management while leading People Coordinators who support workplace operations, employee experience execution, and executive support.  

The role is designed for someone who has operated in a growing organization, is comfortable navigating ambiguity, and brings strong judgment, follow-through, and ownership to complex people challenges. You will report into and work closely with the Chief People Officer across strategy and execution, partnering closely with cross functional stakeholders across the business to help shape how Madison hires, develops, and supports its people as the company navigates dynamic change and expansion. 

At Madison Energy Infrastructure, we believe our people are our most important asset — and that meaningful work should be both challenging and fun. The right candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, takes pride in creating inclusive and welcoming spaces, ensures strong follow-through via a lean team and external partners, and brings strong attention to detail to everything they do.  

NOTE: This is an in-person role based in our New York or Tysons Corner office, Monday through Thursday, with a work-from-home option on Fridays. There will be occasional travel to other offices.   

What You’ll Own 

  • Own talent acquisition end-to-end (strategy, prioritization, process, quality, and outcomes), partnering with leaders from role scoping through close.
  • Drive consistent, structured, and equitable hiring practices across the company; coach and enable hiring managers to make high-quality decisions.
  • Manage and develop the People Coordinators, setting priorities and ensuring strong execution across workplace operations (NYC + VA), recruiting coordination/onboarding logistics, employee experience programming, and executive support.
  • Serve as a primary People Business Partner to leaders and managers on performance management, employee relations, team effectiveness, and organizational design.
  • Partner closely with the Chief People Officer on workforce planning, leadership development, and broader talent strategy; translate priorities into clear plans and follow-through.
  • Partner with centralized People Operations to ensure smooth employee lifecycle handoffs (hiring, onboarding, changes, offboarding) and consistent, high-quality employee experience across offices.
  • Own execution of core employee experience and culture programs (onboarding, engagement moments, manager tools/rituals), ensuring consistency and strong adoption.
  • Leverage external recruiting/people partners as needed to extend capacity and strengthen outcomes. 

What Will Help You Succeed  

(You don’t need to check every box, but here is what will help you thrive.) 

  • 8+ years of experience across People, Talent, HRBP, or People leadership roles.
  • Experience operating in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment during a period of scaling.

  • Experience leading or coordinating others in a lean, matrixed environment; strong prioritization and operating rhythm.
  • Strong business judgment and systems thinking, with the ability to move between strategy and hands-on execution.
  • Bias toward action, high ownership, and a collaborative, low-ego leadership style; comfortable navigating ambiguity and change.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; able to influence and coach senior leaders.
  • Strong discretion and proactive problem-solving; able to anticipate needs, manage multiple priorities, and follow through reliably.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
