About The Role

Our client is seeking an experienced Part-Time Human Resources Officer to serve as the day-to-day owner of people operations, manager support, and core HR processes. This role is ideal for an HR professional looking for meaningful, flexible part-time work with real ownership and autonomy.

This is not a consulting or advisory-only role. You will be embedded with the leadership team, responsible for execution, follow-through, and clear documentation—while escalating higher-risk or specialized matters to external HR consultants or employment counsel when appropriate.

What You’ll Do

People Operations, Recruiting & Culture

• Own and continuously improve recruiting, onboarding, and offboarding processes
• Support leadership in identifying and addressing retention risks
• Help foster a positive, accountable, and high-performance culture aligned with company values
  
  

Employee Relations & Manager Support

• Serve as the primary HR point of contact for managers and leadership
• Coach managers on employee communications, documentation, and performance management
• Handle routine employee relations matters independently
• Escalate complex or higher-risk situations to external HR consultants or employment counsel
  
  

Policies, Compliance & Risk Management

• Draft, maintain, and update HR policies and employee handbook materials
• Monitor compliance with applicable employment laws (including Minnesota and New York)
• Identify people-related risks and recommend practical mitigation strategies
  
  

Process Improvement & Enablement

• Identify gaps in HR and people processes and implement pragmatic improvements
• Create simple templates, SOPs, and reference materials to improve consistency
• Help leadership prioritize HR initiatives within a limited weekly-hour model
  
  

Required Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of progressive HR experience
• Hands-on experience with employee relations and performance management
• Strong working knowledge of employment law and HR best practices
• Excellent written communication skills, particularly for formal documentation
• High judgment, discretion, and professionalism
• Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and deliver results in a part-time role
• Comfort working with modern HR systems (ADP) and shared document environments
  
  

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in a part-time, fractional, or embedded HR role
• Experience supporting professional services, legal, or regulated environments
• SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or similar certification (not required)
