Entrada Partners is a vertically integrated commercial real estate platform with asset management, property management, and construction in-house — Entrada Partners Acquisitions (EPA), Entrada Partners Management (EPM), and Forge Constructors. Together, the three entities employ roughly 80 people. Entrada is a fast-growing company that has more than doubled in size over the last three years, built on a foundation of integrity, stewardship, and accountability.

About the role

The Director of Human Resources is a department-of-one role owning HR across Entrada's three entities — talent acquisition, onboarding, performance management, compliance, compensation and benefits, and employee relations. This person will report directly to the Partners, with one direct report (Office Manager / Administrative Support). This is a highly autonomous, self-directed role with a real seat at the table — the Director will act as a true advisor to the Partners and managers on all HR matters, with the opportunity to make an impact across the entire organization.

Based onsite in Addison, TX Monday–Thursday, with WFH optional Fridays.
