Senior Director, People & Culture

Momentum is seeking a strategic, people-first, and forward-thinking Senior People & Culture Director 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.

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.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

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.
