Casual 1020 hours/week Remotefirst Canada

Were looking for an experienced HR Advisor / HR Business Partner to join A&A in a casual flexible capacity. Internally this role is an Intermediate HR Consultant the dedicated HR partner for several small and midsized organizations that either dont have HR or need extra support.

A few things upfront

This is truly a 1020 hours/week role. Some weeks will be busier some quieter but it is not a disguised fulltime job. Its ideal for someone who wants meaningful HR work without committing to a traditional 40hour schedule.

People who tend to thrive in this structure include those who:

• Already work parttime and want additional hours
• Run their own consulting practice
• Want more flexibility for family or personal commitments
• Are semiretired but still enjoy the work
• Are pursuing education
• Prefer a balanced schedule and variety

What youll do

Youll act as the HR function for multiple small a typical week you might:

• Coach a manager through a performance issue
• Support a termination or employee relations matter
• Handle the classic I have a situation call
• Draft policies agreements or HR documentation
• Recruit for open roles
• Review compensation
• Improve onboarding or HR processes
• Support workplace investigations
• Analyze engagement survey results
• Help implement HR systems
• Facilitate meetings or training
• Research employment standards questions
• Contribute to larger projects with senior consultants

Some days will be predictable. Others will change at 9:07 a.m. when a client calls. Thats fractional HR.

Consulting is different

Youll work across industries leaders and problems. You need to be comfortable:

• Switching between clients
• Building relationships with business owners and leaders
• Giving practical advice when there isnt a perfect answer
• Managing your own priorities
• Having difficult conversations
• Spotting opportunities to help clients
• Talking about what A&A does

You dont need to be a salesperson but you do need to be commercially minded.

Ideally you bring:

• 10 years of progressive HR experience

• Confidence with performance management and terminations
• Experience with recruitment policies compensation and HR documentation
• Strong knowledge of Canadian employment legislation

We dont expect you to know everything. We do expect you to research unfamiliar issues think critically form a recommendation and know when to pull in senior support.

Bonus points for: CPHR consulting experience investigation training union or nonprofit experience multijurisdictional HR facilitation analytics or HRIS experience.

Hours & logistics

This casual role targets 1020 hours/week. At least 75% of your hours must overlap with our core business hours:

• Fri: 8:30 a.m.12:30 p.m. MT

You dont need to sit at your computer waiting for work but you do need daytime availability for meetings calls and timesensitive issues. Background work can happen whenever works for you.

Were remotefirst with occasional inperson client work. Calgaryarea candidates are preferred but were open to applicants across Canada.

This role is probably NOT for you if

• You want 40 hours/week
• You need identical hours every week
• You dislike talking to people
• Networking makes you want to hide behind a plant

One last thing

Were not looking for a unicorn. Were looking for an experienced HR professional with good judgment strong people skills curiosity and genuine interest in business. Someone who can build trust handle the messy HR stuff admit when they dont know something and ask for help when needed.

If this sounds like the kind of role youve been looking for wed love to hear from you. If you need 40 hours/week we wish you the best but this one wont be the right fit.
