HR Generalist (Part-Time)

(this position is based out of our Charlotte office on a hybrid basis.)

What we believe  

In the past few years, private equity investors have invested more than a trillion dollars in software and tech-enabled companies. And in many cases, the underlying tech is the greatest enabler to the business strategy. But has the approach to govern technology value creation caught up to the magnitude of the risk?   

We believe a better way is possible – a more programmatic, proactive approach to actively manage technology throughout the investment lifecycle – and that’s what we do.   

Our role  

We know that technology can create truly transformative change, and its role in business is only growing. Crosslake is here to support the changemakers and help them buy, build and run better technology.   

What we value  

You could be a good fit for Crosslake if you see yourself reflected in our guiding values:   

Service. We effect change by empowering others.  

Curiosity. We believe great advice starts with deep understanding.  

Credibility. Our expertise is earned and proven.   

Commitment. It’s our privilege to serve clients in their critical moments.   

Creativity. We are inspired by the constant pursuit of better. 

Crosslake is a diverse organization and proud of it. What unites us is our belief that technology makes a difference.
