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

Positive 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, strong 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.
