About the Role
We are recruiting an experienced HR Business Partner on behalf of a client organization that operates within a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) environment, supporting small to mid-sized businesses across multiple industries. This role is ideal for an HR professional who enjoys working in a consultative capacity, managing multiple client relationships, and delivering practical, compliance-driven HR solutions.
Unlike a traditional in-house HR role, this position partners with multiple client organizations, serving as a trusted advisor to owners, executives, and managers. Success requires adaptability, strong judgment, and the ability to shift seamlessly between diverse workplace cultures and business needs.
Job Description
The HR Business Partner collaborates closely with client leadership teams to deliver strategic and operational HR support aligned with organizational goals and employee needs. This role serves as the primary HR contact for assigned clients, providing guidance on employment law, employee relations, talent management, and compliance while strengthening workplace culture and organizational effectiveness.

- Represent the organization within the local business community through chambers, professional associations, and industry events

- Participate in trade shows, networking events, and selected after-hours engagements
- Time allocation initially includes approximately 70% HR Business Partner work and 30% community and referral development, subject to change as the client base grows
- Participation in market development activities may qualify for performance-based incentive opportunities
- Help communicate safety, wellness, and risk-management programs using company-provided tools and materials
- Facilitate client access to internal subject-matter experts and resources
- Support educational sessions focused on safety culture, wellbeing, and risk awareness
