HR Consultant

Important considerations in applying for this position:

• This is an hourly consulting position and requires daily time tracking across client and internal work.
• Client projects and engagements will ebb and flow throughout the year. While we actively manage workloads to support strong utilization, there may be periods where available hours temporarily fluctuate.
• The role includes a planned ramp-up period as you build client engagements and confidence in the work. It may take up to three months to reach full-time hours, with ongoing support and guidance from your manager.
