ABOUT US

HirexHire (pronounced hire by hire) is a Chicago-based recruiting and talent consultancy that integrates with companies short-term to provide long-term talent solutions. We take a seat in our client’s everyday operations to understand their people goals, gaps, and challenges. We then develop and implement the processes and technologies to execute a sustainable and scalable talent plan.

We partner with companies expecting or experiencing high growth which need to hire at scale or fill a critical role rapidly. Our clients are not looking for quick-fix placements but are thoughtfully building a hiring strategy to scale their businesses.

Their platform enables teams to streamline operations, enhance communication, and tackle large-scale documentation processes with speed and accuracy. Serving thousands of clients worldwide, they are recognized for their commitment to efficiency, growth, and innovation across the professional services industry.

THE ROLE

  Our client is seeking a Director of Strategic Programs to oversee large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that drive organizational alignment, operational excellence, and business growth. This role will report directly to executive leadership and serve as a strategic partner in managing transformation programs that impact the company's overall performance. The ideal candidate is a disciplined, results-driven professional who excels in dynamic, high-growth environments and enjoys leading complex, multi-departmental initiatives from conception to completion. 

Strong preference for candidates on the East Coast.

● Partner with senior leadership to align operational priorities with financial objectives and strategic targets.
● Manage large, complex projects that require coordination across multiple business units.

● 7–10 years of business experience in strategic, operational, or transformation roles within software or technology-driven organizations.
● Proven experience in program or project management, with a strong record of delivering measurable results.
● Exceptional organizational and analytical skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
● Demonstrated success in influencing and collaborating with cross-functional teams and executive leaders.
● Strong business acumen with the ability to translate strategic goals into actionable programs.
● Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint, with the ability to present insights clearly and effectively.

NICE TO HAVE

● Prior experience within a private-equity-backed or high-growth SaaS environment.
● Expertise in leading transformation initiatives that span operations, finance, or go-to-market teams.
● Experience driving integration projects following M&A or corporate restructuring.
● Strong change-management and leadership capabilities with a "hands-on" approach.
● Flexibility to manage teams remotely and work across global time zones
