[Hiring] Fractional HR & Talent Advisor @Bloom

Role Description

We're looking for a Sr. Talent & HR Advisor to join our team on a contract basis (2-3 days per week). This role is tied to a dynamic and ongoing client engagement, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a forward-thinking organization. This is a remote-first role open to candidates in Ontario, Canada, with occasional onsite client visits as needed.

Are you an experienced HR professional passionate about shaping workplace culture and driving talent strategy? We'd love to hear from you!

The Opportunity (Spoiler: You'll make a big impact)

• Leading recruitment: Full-cycle hiring for client roles, with a focus on inclusive candidate experiences. In the first 6 months of the role, this will be a priority.
• Co-building people systems: You’ll help design and implement HR policies, frameworks, and processes that align with modern, human-first workplaces.
• Managing HR strategy: You’ll advise leaders on everything from hiring roadmaps to culture design to navigating tricky team dynamics.
• Executing day-to-day HR tasks: Think onboarding, employee relations, policy updates, and more. Strategy and execution are both part of the work.
• Coaching leaders: You’ll support founders and managers in becoming thoughtful people leaders.
• Advising on people operations: From compensation frameworks to performance management systems, you’ll help build the foundation for sustainable growth.
• Context-shifting with ease: No two days are the same. You’ll need to pivot between strategic advising and tactical execution regularly.

Qualifications

• You’ve been the solo HR person at a growing company and thrived in that ambiguity.
• Context shifting excites you—not overwhelms you. You can pivot with ease and stay grounded.
• You’re passionate about supporting and uplifting small to mid-size business owners, knowing your work shapes their company culture.
• You take a proactive, but not prescriptive approach—you ask questions to deeply understand each client’s unique needs.
• You operate with a high level of integrity, consistently following through and completing tasks on time.
• You thrive in autonomous environments, but also love collaborating with a values-aligned team.
• You’re open to occasional onsite client meetings, but value flexible, remote-first work.
• You’re a cautious optimist about the future of work, with a track record of implementing modern HR systems that challenge outdated norms.
• You are discreet, trustworthy, and understand the importance of confidentiality.
• You lead with humanity and empathy, knowing inclusion isn’t a checklist but a way of working.
• You enjoy balancing big-picture strategy with getting things done.

Requirements

• Experience building and executing HR strategies in small to mid-size companies.
• Comfort with acting as the primary HR partner while leveraging collective support.
• Strong recruitment skills with an inclusive, human-first approach.
• Ability to coach leaders and navigate sensitive conversations with care.
• A strategic mindset with a bias for action and problem-solving.
• Passion for inclusive workplace design and progressive people practices.
• High trust, high integrity, and discretion.

Compensation + Location + Hours
