Contractor Fractional HR & Talent Advisor

Hey, I’m Avery, Founder & CEO of Bloom. We’re a workplace consultancy that partners with founder-led, growing small to mid-sized companies who are bold enough to prioritize strong people systems—early. The companies we work with know that building inclusive, high-performing workplaces doesn’t happen by accident. They’re invested. They care. They just don’t need a full-time HR hire (yet).That’s where you come in.

This is a contract role (3-4 days per week) where you’ll act as a fractional HR partner for one of our clients—co-building, crafting, and implementing people systems that create the foundation for thriving, high-performing cultures. You’ll get to do meaningful, strategic work while still being hands-on with the day-to-day. And you’ll have the support of our Bloom collective beside you.

We’re looking for a Sr. Talent & HR Advisor to join our team on a contract basis (3–4 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 a seasoned HR professional passionate about shaping workplace culture and driving talent strategy? We’d love to hear from you!

• Advising on people operations: From compensation frameworks to performance management systems, you’ll help build the foundation for sustainable growth.
