HR Advisor / HR Business Partner - Casual Casual Temporary Associate
Posted 10 Sep 2026
Description HR Advisor / HR Business Partner
We’re looking for an experienced HR Advisor / HR Business Partner to join A&A; in a casual, flexible capacity. Internally, this role is an Intermediate HR Consultant — the dedicated HR partner for several small and mid‑sized organizations that either don’t have HR or need extra support.
A few things upfront
This is truly a 10–20 hours/week role. Some weeks will be busier, some quieter, but it is not a disguised full‑time job. It’s ideal for someone who wants meaningful HR work without committing to a traditional 40‑hour schedule.
People who tend to thrive in this structure include those who:
Already work part‑time and want additional hours
Run their own consulting practice
Want more flexibility for family or personal commitments
Are semi‑retired but still enjoy the work
Are pursuing education
Prefer a balanced schedule and variety
What you’ll do
You’ll act as the HR function for multiple small businesses. In a typical week, you might:
Coach a manager through a performance issue
Support a termination or employee relations matter
Handle the classic “I have a situation…” call
Draft policies, agreements or HR documentation
Recruit for open roles
Review compensation
Improve onboarding or HR processes
Support workplace investigations
Help implement HR systems
Facilitate meetings or training
Contribute to larger projects with senior consultants
Some days will be predictable. Others will change at 9:07 a.m. when a client calls.



That’s fractional HR.
Consulting is different
You’ll work across industries, leaders and problems. You need to be comfortable:
Switching between clients
Building relationships with business owners and leaders
Giving practical advice when there isn’t a perfect answer
Managing your own priorities
Having difficult conversations
Spotting opportunities to help clients
Talking about what A&A; does
You don’t need to be a salesperson, but you do need to be commercially minded.
What we’re looking for
Ideally, you bring:
10+ years of progressive HR experience
Solid employee relations and manager‑coaching experience
Confidence with performance management and terminations
Experience with recruitment, policies, compensation and HR documentation
Strong knowledge of Canadian employment legislation
Excellent communication and critical‑thinking skills
Good judgment and the ability to make clear recommendations
We don’t expect you to know everything. We do expect you to research unfamiliar issues, think critically, form a recommendation and know when to pull in senior support.
Bonus points for: CPHR, consulting experience, investigation training, union or non‑profit experience, multi‑jurisdictional HR,



facilitation, analytics or HRIS experience.
This casual role targets 10–20 hours/week. At least 75% of your hours must overlap with our core business hours:
Mon–Thu: 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. MT
Fri: 8:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. MT
You don’t need to sit at your computer waiting for work, but you do need daytime availability for meetings, calls and time‑sensitive issues. Background work can happen whenever works for you.
We’re remote‑first with occasional in‑person client work. Calgary‑area candidates are preferred, but we’re open to applicants across Canada.
This role is probably NOT for you if…
You want 40 hours/week
You need identical hours every week
You dislike talking to people
Networking makes you want to hide behind a plant
You want a daily task list handed to you
You want to specialize in one narrow HR area
Fractional HR is broad, dynamic and relationship‑driven.
Why A&A;?
We’re a boutique Canadian consulting firm supporting small and mid‑sized organizations across the country. You can expect:
Real flexibility
Lots of variety
A supportive team
Opportunities to grow
Community involvement through donations and pro‑bono consulting
One last thing
We’re not looking for a unicorn. We’re looking for an experienced HR professional with good judgment, solid people skills, curiosity and genuine interest in business. Someone who can build trust, handle the messy HR stuff, admit when they don’t know something and ask for help when needed.
