At Humani, we are a team of modern-thinking HR professionals. The HR Business Partner will be the go-to person for multiple clients across multiple jurisdictions and industries.

You thrive in environments where you don’t know the answer but are willing to do the work and figure it out, enjoy creating HR policies and programs from the ground up and working in a fast-paced and changing environment. You find joy in meaningful work and delivering excellent client results. At Humani, no two days are the same. If this sounds like a great fit for you, we encourage you to apply!

We are looking for a Texas-based HR Business Partner to join our team. At Humani, our hybrid work model means working primarily remotely, with onsite support at various client sites based on business needs. As such, local and international travel may be required from time to time.

• Acting as the go-to HR business partner for multiple clients across multiple jurisdictions
• Analyzing the client’s current HR programs and designing the HR roadmap for clients, based on their engagement specifics.
• Ensuring the organization meets compliance standards for their jurisdiction.
• Ensuring HR agendas are aligned with labour law issues.
• Developing, reviewing, and applying HR policies and procedures where necessary.
• Working on client files with more complex compensation projects. Data analytics required.
• Reviewing HR software and processes, spearheading HRIS implementation when necessary.
• Reviewing and/or developing performance management processes in line with current best practices.
• Designing compensation plans based on market data and industry standards.
• Managing employee relations issues as they arise.
• Providing coaching and mentorship to management & employees.
• Creating and delivering HR-related training sessions.
• Attending virtual and in-person meetings with the client’s executives and employees.
• Acting as the lead relationship manager between Humani and our client’s C-Suite.

Your Skill Set

• Employment Law & Legislation: We are looking for an HRBP with strong knowledge of US employment law and legislation across multiple states. Union/labour relations experience is a plus!
• Analytical, problem solving, and critical thinking: HRBPs need to be able to absorb a great deal of information about the client's business and what they are looking for Humani to accomplish for them. This then needs to be analyzed to make clear recommendations, followed by the execution of the solution.
• Time Management: HRBPs must actively manage their time to meet deadlines and remain within the client's budget.
• Listening, verbal communication, and interpersonal skills: HRBPs need to interact with many of the client's executives and employees regularly. As such, effective communication skills and heightened self-awareness are a must.
• Organizational skills: Clients rely on our HRBPs to be organized and efficient with their approach to solving their problems and implementing solutions.
• Data Analysis: Ability to analyze data, documents, reports, etc., with meticulous attention to detail.
• Relationship Management: Strong experience with managing a portfolio of clients and stakeholders, proactively identifying opportunities and proposing and implementing solutions.
• Technology: Strong aptitude to assimilate to new technology. Excellent spreadsheet and presentation-making capabilities are a must. We use the Google family of products (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides), but experience with these particular products is not necessary as long as you are able to seamlessly transition to them from other similar products you may have used (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• HR Software: Ability to use and adapt to multiple HR software programs used by our clients.
• Project Management: A working knowledge of project management principles and best practices. Change Management experience is ideal.

Who You Are

• Minimum of 5 years of client-facing HR business partner experience.
• Minimum of 2 years managing work deliverables within an HR team.
• A degree or diploma in HR or related field.
• Professional HR designation is an asset
• A true passion for HR: Experience building HR systems and processes from scratch and keeping an eye out for the latest HR trends and changes to best practices!
• Problem Solving: Ability to work through a problem with limited information and to take a problem or situation to the next steps.
• Attention to Detail: Excellent attention to detail and ability to make deliverables (documents, Powerpoints, reports, etc) client-ready.
• Creativity: We’re looking for outside-the-box thinkers! Our HRBPs have the flexibility and creativity to handle any situations that arise while implementing solutions for the client.
• Self-motivation and self-discipline: This is a highly autonomous role where HRBPs work independently supporting clients and must be self-motivated to complete work promptly with minimal oversight. We aren’t just strategic partners – we do the work and give our clients full white glove service.
