About Us – Why Join Now

Scientific Safety Alliance, or SSA, exists to Accelerate Science. Delightfully. SSA is growing at an exceptional rate and is rapidly rising Inc Magazines 2024 and 2025 list of fastest growing privately held companies. In just over three years, SSA has created over $300M in enterprise value through disciplined growth and 21 acquisitions. We are now intentionally building the executive leadership team that will take SSA to $1B+ in enterprise value.

We serve the life sciences world — pharmaceutical, biotech, hospital, and research facilities — by removing operational friction so innovation can move faster. SSA is a 100% founder- and employee-owned company, and ownership is real: performance directly compounds value for every team member.

We are at a pivotal inflection point. The systems, culture, and people decisions made now will define SSA for the next decade.

The Opportunity: Chief People Officer

This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to architect a category-defining People function at a company already accelerating on a powerful growth trajectory. It is a dream role for an innovator and builder who wants to create a high-performance people organization — one not centered on bureaucracy, policy management, or reactive employee issues, but on elite talent, ownership, productivity, and long-term value creation.

The Chief People Officer will serve as a core member of SSA’s executive leadership team and will be responsible for building and scaling the people organization required to support aggressive growth, frequent acquisitions, and increasing operational complexity.

At SSA, People is not a support function — it is the most strategic function in the company. You will build the systems, culture, and leadership engine that enable an army of A-Players to consistently outperform the industry, stay for the long term, and passionately build SSA as owners — turning talent into a durable competitive advantage and a primary driver of enterprise value.

  • Build a best-in-class Talent Acquisition engine that consistently delivers 90%+ A-Players.
  • Build scalable Talent Acquisition, People Operations, and Leadership Development functions capable of supporting rapid expansion
  • Establish SSA as a destination for elite talent through culture, development, and ownership mindset

  • Own people compliance, governance, and risk mitigation across a multi-state and international footprint
  • Lead people integration across acquisitions while preserving entrepreneurial energy and local excellence
  • Establish structured development pathways for frontline leaders, managers, and executives, aligned with SSA’s growth, values, and ownership mindset
  • Own SSA’s people-related compliance and risk management strategy, ensuring adherence to federal, state, and international employment laws as the company scales
  • Proactively identify and mitigate people, culture, and workforce risks across a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction organization
  • Ensure compliant and consistent people practices across acquisitions, including classification, compensation, benefits, and employment agreements
  • Design and implement policies, controls, and governance frameworks that protect SSA while preserving speed and autonomy
  • Oversee post-acquisition people integration, including onboarding, compensation alignment, benefits harmonization, and cultural integration
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to leaders on sensitive people matters, change management, and organizational health

Deliverables & Outcomes

  • An organization composed of an army of A-Players who:Represent 90%+ of the workforce Deliver >2x industry-average productivity Maintain 90%+ retention Generate >$100K profit per employee

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
