HR Business Partner

Humani HR Careers • Chattanooga, TN

4d • Remote

About The Position

Humani HR is a modern HR services organization that provides customized, on-demand fractional HR support and consulting to small and medium-sized businesses. It is primarily remote-first, though HR Business Partners are expected to attend client visits periodically—typically up to 15% of the time, potentially more often—and company events. Visits may be local or occasionally outside the employee’s state of residence or internationally.

The HR Business Partner serves as a trusted partner to a portfolio of clients, providing strategic guidance and practical solutions to organizational and people challenges. The role involves leading HR projects from diagnosis through implementation, building HR policies and programs, advising CEOs and senior leaders, and balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution. The position requires strong judgment, flexibility, organization, relationship-building, and the ability to support organizations and teams through change. Knowledge of employment law across multiple states, including New York and California, is preferred; payroll management and processing experience is highly desirable.

The role supports assigned client accounts across a broad range of HR needs, including policy development and review, compliance, compensation analysis, HRIS analysis or implementation, audits, recruitment support, performance management, employee relations, and payroll processing and oversight. The HR Business Partner also helps support client expansion, retention, satisfaction, and company KPIs, while following company processes, documentation, standards, mission, and values.

Humani offers a base salary of $80,000–$100,000, with potential annual performance-based bonuses of 10–25% or more of base salary, for stated total compensation of up to $88,000–$125,000 or more. The role is primarily remote, with opportunities for in-person relationship-building at company-wide retreats and local team events.
