HR Business Partner

Humani HR is your modern thinking team of HR professionals. We are passionate about helping small and medium-sized businesses with their People and Culture. We take the stress out of HR by providing fractional HR support and consulting services. Our solutions are customized, on demand and scale with our clients' changing needs. We are more than just strategic advisors – we do the work, so our clients can focus on building their business.

Humani is a dynamic, fast‑moving environment where every day looks a little different.
Humani HR is a primarily remote-first organization; however, HR Business Partners and Generalists are expected to attend client visits periodically (typically up to 15% of the time, but could be more frequent), as well as company events. These onsite requirements may be local or, on occasion, outside your state of residence or internationally. To learn more about us and our team, visit our website.

As an HR Business Partner, you serve as a trusted partner to a portfolio of clients, providing strategic guidance and practical solutions to their organizational and people challenges. You excel at context switching, leading HR projects from diagnosis through implementation, and delivering high-quality HR services that drive business results.

You are comfortable building HR policies and programs from the ground up and thrive in environments where structure is still evolving. Highly flexible and organized, you build strong relationships and communicate with the executive presence to confidently advise CEOs and senior leaders. You bring a solutions-oriented mindset and are energized by solving complex people challenges across a variety of client environments and industries.

You have a proven ability to guide organizations, leaders, and teams through change with clarity and confidence. You balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution and bring sound judgement to complex people matters.
