Kogan & DiSalvo is one of Florida’s top personal injury firms, known for strong advocacy, rapid growth, and a culture that values integrity, accountability, and teamwork. Over the last four years, the firm has grown from 25–30 employees to nearly 100 across multiple Florida offices, with plans for expansion.

 

The firm operates with clear expectations, a strong commitment to client service, and a deep respect for culture. The team is tight-knit, fast-paced, and unified by a shared desire to do meaningful work that helps people rebuild their lives.

 

Kogan & DiSalvo is seeking a Director of HR who can fully own the HR function, support continued expansion, strengthen culture, and bring calm, clarity, and structure to a busy and growing organization. This is a hands-on leadership role, not a big-team oversight position. You’ll manage all core HR operations while supervising one HR Assistant, a long-tenured paralegal who is new to HR.

 

The firm is looking for a seasoned HR professional who brings humility, steady confidence, and a genuine love for HR, someone who strengthens culture, respects boundaries, and delivers excellence within their core role.

Payroll Oversight

•  HR Assistant will execute most payroll tasks
•  Director ensures accuracy, compliance, and proper documentation
•  Maintain payroll policies and audit processes

 

Onboarding + Training

• Run onboarding for all new hires
• Ensure paperwork, systems access, and workflows are handled seamlessly
• Coordinate with managers to execute training plans
• Build training materials, SOPs, and HR infrastructure over time
• Maintain referral programs and internal HR systems

 

Culture Leadership

• Serve as the visible culture champion across offices
• Coordinate internal events, celebrations, and team-building
• Lead beach cleanups, office gatherings, and morale-boosting initiatives
• Coach managers on effective communication
• Reinforce a professional, respectful, and drama-free environment

 

Travel

• Primary office: Boca Raton or Boynton Beach
• Travel to other Florida offices 5x per month (typically 1 hour each way)
• Travel to St. Pete/Tampa every 2–3 months (usually 1 overnight)

What we’re looking for: 

• Experience: 7–10+ years in HR, with broad generalist capabilities and hands-on execution
• Certifications: SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP preferred
• Recruiting Strength: Proven ability to hire for high-volume administrative and legal support roles
• Detail-Driven: Produces accurate work, spots errors quickly, and maintains high standards
• Humble + Professional: Learns the business, respects the chain of command, and supports leadership without ego
• Culture-Focused: Understands how to lift morale, protect culture, and maintain boundaries
• Hands-On: Comfortable rolling up their sleeves, not removed or “too corporate”

Why you should work here: 

• High-Impact Role: You’ll shape culture, support statewide expansion, and build HR infrastructure that scales into future additional offices.
• Visible Leadership: Work directly with firm leadership and play a vital supportive role in operational stability.
• Growth Within HR: This role is hands-on, but the HR function will expand as the firm scales, creating room for future development.
• Meaningful Culture Work: Lead initiatives that strengthen morale, unify the firm, and create a workplace people are proud to be part of.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary range
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• 401(k) and additional firm benefits

Kogan & DiSalvo offers the rare mix of meaningful work, strong leadership, and the energy of a firm that’s just getting started. With rapid expansion underway, the Director of HR will play a key stabilizing role in supporting the team, shaping culture, and keeping the firm aligned as it grows across Florida and beyond.

If you’re an experienced, grounded, trustworthy HR professional who loves building systems, supporting people, and keeping a firm running smoothly, we’d love to meet you.
