About The Position

Blackwell HR is a woman-founded human resources consulting business based in Wilmington, Delaware and serving clients throughout the US. With a focus on small to medium-sized businesses and nonprofits, our team of experienced HR professionals partner with clients across a variety of industries and business communities to develop and implement HR and solutions that allow business leaders to focus on achieving their mission and fully engage their teams. We believe in operating with innovation, exercising compassion, being engaged with our clients, and delivering exceptional results. We live our values every day in the work we do with our clients, our community, and our team. This role offers the opportunity to handle a variety of HR tasks for multiple organizations rather than being immersed in just one company. You'll have the variety and problem-solving that comes with being a generalist, but you'll also have a team of experienced HR professionals to collaborate with and support you. You'll get to know your clients deeply, help leaders solve real business and people challenges, and have a direct hand in building better HR functions. Some days you'll be working through a strategic conversation with a CEO. Other days you'll be helping a manager navigate an employee situation, or turning a manual process into a system that actually works. If you're an experienced generalist who likes figuring things out, making things better, and being someone clients can rely on, we'd love to hear from you.
