About The Position

At Beacon HR, we help founders and leadership teams build better businesses through smart, modern, and people-first HR practices. We’re a bright, values-driven team that partners with fast-growing companies across industries - from tech and creative agencies to manufacturing and non-profits. We believe HR should be strategic, approachable, and deeply human. Our HR Partners primarily operate at the HR Business Partner and Manager level - working fractionally with multiple clients as trusted strategic advisors who bring clarity, capability, and compassion to every project.

As a Fractional HR Partner with Beacon HR, you’ll join our consulting team on a part-time contract basis, working fractionally with several growth-minded clients across the U.S. and Canada. You’ll collaborate with founders, CEOs, and senior leaders at 20-50 employee companies to design and deliver thoughtful HR strategies that unlock growth, improve engagement, and strengthen culture. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on variety, loves consulting work, and can move seamlessly between clients, industries, and priorities. You’re equally comfortable getting into the weeds to solve a tactical HR challenge and zooming out to design a 360° people strategy. At Beacon, success comes from bringing strong business acumen, curiosity, and empathy - and being energized by collaborating with leaders and coaching executives to make confident, people-centred decisions.
