About Valsoft

Established in Montreal in 2015, Valsoft has grown to a global portfolio of 140+ companies across 20+ industries, acquiring and developing vertical market software businesses that deliver mission-critical solutions in their respective niches. Unlike private equity and venture capital firms, we are entrepreneurs who Buy, Enhance, and Grow software businesses — we don't sell. We form long-term partnerships with existing management teams and prioritize the wellness of each company, its customers, and its employees over short-term objectives.

Lighthouse Software Group, an operating group of Valsoft, operates and manages a global portfolio of wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals. By implementing industry’s best practices, Lighthouse Software Group delivers a time-sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Manager, People Operations to run the full spectrum of human resources for the Lighthouse portfolio. You will report directly to the Managing Partner of the group and sit at the leadership table from day one.

This is a build role, not a maintain role. You'll be leading and owning the HR function for a growing portfolio of businesses with the autonomy to both strategize and execute. If you get genuine satisfaction from building things that scale, this role was written for you.

What You Will Own

M&A Integration

  • Lead people integration for new Lighthouse acquisitions, from pre-close diligence through to integration
  • Partner with corporate on legal entity setup, employment transitions, and cultural integration

Talent & Performance

  • Lead recruiting for critical leadership hires across the group
  • Implement a lightweight, effective performance management framework
  • Build a talent review process to identify high-potentials and succession risks
  • Establish an employee engagement survey cadence and act on results

AI & Workforce Planning

  • Partner with portfolio company leaders on workforce planning as AI adoption changes role mix

People Leadership

  • Be a credible thought partner to portfolio company CEOs on org design, team health, and people strategy
  • Build a team of HRBPs and recruiters as the group scales over time

People Infrastructure

  • Own the HRIS, ATS and other platforms
  • Design and maintain compensation bands across the group using market benchmarking data, in-house
  • Manage compliance across North American and other markets where Lighthouse operates

What We Are Looking For

  • 5+ years of HR experience
  • Comfort being the leading HR professional in the group, collaborating with business leaders
  • Experience at a high-growth, dynamic organization
  • Hands-on with HRIS systems (BambooHR a plus)
  • Working knowledge of US and Canadian employment law

The Person, Not Just the Resume

  • Ambitious: is energized by the scope this role offers and the opportunity for real ownership
  • Commercial instincts: thinks about HR decisions in terms of business outcomes
  • Honest about what they do not know and moves fast to close gaps
  • Does not need to be the most senior person in the room to be effective
