Are you the HR person everyone goes to when they need an answer, a little guidance, or help navigating a workplace situation?

We’re looking for an HR Partner to step into a temporary role supporting a higher education environment from mid-October through the end of February. This is a hands-on opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys being close to the day-to-day work—supporting employees and managers, keeping HR processes moving, and helping with employee and labor relations matters.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Serve as a frontline HR resource for employees and managers, answering questions about policies, procedures, and HR processes
  • Provide day-to-day support around employee relations and workplace concerns, escalating more sensitive matters when appropriate
  • Receive, document, and track employee relations issues while maintaining a high level of confidentiality
  • Support labor relations, including union grievance tracking, contract administration, and related documentation
  • Assist with workforce planning, restructuring, and organizational projects
  • Coordinate training logistics, including scheduling, materials, attendance tracking, surveys, and follow-up reporting
  • Organize HR data and create presentations and reports that communicate workforce and employee lifecycle information
  • Keep HR projects, documentation, and tracking systems organized and up to date

What We're Looking For

  • Previous HR experience in a hands-on, employee-facing role
  • Experience with employee relations and/or labor relations
  • Strong administrative and organizational skills with excellent attention to detail
  • Ability to handle confidential employee information with discretion
  • Comfortable working with employees and managers at all levels
  • Workday experience preferred
  • Experience in a higher education environment is a plus
  • Someone who can jump in quickly, work independently, and keep multiple priorities moving

Why This Opportunity?

This is a great fit for an HR professional who enjoys the people side AND the operational side of HR. You'll have the opportunity to support a broad range of HR functions while working closely with employees, managers, and the HR team in a higher education setting.
