About Beacon
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.
About the Role
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 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.
About You
You’re an experienced, collaborative HR professional with deep consulting experience in both the U.S. and Canada. You thrive on variety, connection, and context-switching - able to navigate complex people challenges across tech, professional services, and growth-stage organizations with confidence and care.
This is a U.S.-based contractor role, with a strong preference for candidates based in Washington State (to align with our West Coast client base). Fully remote, with flexible hours and occasional opportunities for in-person collaboration.
You have:
- 8+ years of experience as an HR Business Partner, HR Consultant, or Senior HR Generalist, supporting both U.S. and Canadian employees.
- Bring industry experience in tech or professional services.
- A strong consultative approach - you build trust quickly and deliver thoughtful, actionable guidance.
- Proven experience working in both in-house and consulting environments.
- Broad expertise in HR operations, employee relations, performance, engagement, and change management.
- A proven ability to manage multiple clients and projects simultaneously, balancing priorities without losing quality or connection.
- The agility to flex between strategic advisory and hands-on implementation, depending on what a client needs most.
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to advise senior leaders with clarity and care.
- A high degree of organization, follow-through, and accountability.
- A genuine passion for continuous learning and people-centered leadership.
Bonus Points If You:
- Have experience facilitating leadership development or learning programs.
- Hold a SHRM designation (or are working toward it), or have a degree in Organizational Development, Human Resources, or a related field.
- Bonus if you’ve supported a U.S.-based public company or have exposure to HR practices in regulated or publicly traded settings (e.g., compliance, reporting, or executive programs)
What’s in It for You:
This is a part-time contractor role (approx. 15–25 hours per week to start) with flexible hours.
You’ll enjoy:
- Fully remote work
- Flexible scheduling that fits your energy and client load
- Connection with a collaborative, values-driven team
- Opportunities for growth into a full-time permanent role as Beacon expands into the U.S. market
