Who We Are

Legacy HR Consulting puts the human back into HR. We’re passionate about creating workplaces where people feel supported, respected, and empowered. We partner with mission-driven and social justice organizations to build inclusive workplaces that attract and retain dream teams. Our clients are committed to advancing social justice, including reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, racial equity, and economic justice.

At Legacy HR Consulting, we’re not just a team—we’re a community. We value authenticity, empathy, and collaboration in all our relationships—whether with our clients or each other.

What You’ll Be Doing

We’re looking for a strong HR Generalist who is confident working across multiple HR domains and is capable of leading project-based deliverables from start to finish. You’ll balance support for our fractional HR clients and project-based HR work. For assigned projects, you may serve as the main point of contact, responsible for end-to-end execution from kickoff to closeout, including deliverable development, timeline tracking, internal coordination, and client communications. In other cases, the Client Lead will take the point.

• Core Responsibilities (Weekly/Retained Work)
  • Serve as an HR point of contact for assigned clients, providing responsive and thoughtful support.
  • Handle employee relations questions, policy interpretation, and general HR compliance support.
  • Join client meetings as needed and provide updates, follow-ups, and documentation.
  • Use internal tools like ClickUp, Clockify, and Slack to track your work and communicate updates.
• Project-Based Responsibilities
  • Own and drive execution on HR deliverables such as employee handbooks, policies, onboarding/offboarding toolkits, and performance frameworks, ensuring high-quality, human-centered work throughout.
  • Draft and refine deliverables independently, escalating only for strategic or unfamiliar issues. Apply an equity-informed lens to all content.
  • Track timelines, milestones, and deliverables in ClickUp. Update task statuses daily, flag bottlenecks early to the Client Lead or CAM, and keep all collaborators aligned.
  • Coordinate with the Client Account Manager (CAM) for scope-related questions and meeting logistics.
  • Delegate formatting, research, or administrative tasks to Project Support. Assign subtasks to Project Support or Client Lead as needed to move work forward.

Equity in Practice

At Legacy HRC, we don’t just talk about equity—we build it into how we show up. In this role, you'll apply an equity lens to everything you do: from drafting policies to handling employee questions. We encourage learning, curiosity, feedback, and humility in our efforts to build workplaces that center justice and inclusion. This also includes ensuring our deliverables are accessible, inclusive, and aligned with each client’s cultural and operational context.

Who You Are

We're looking for someone who brings both hands-on HR experience and the confidence to manage workstreams and timelines. You take initiative, communicate clearly, and are aligned with our mission and values.

You Have:

• 5+ years of HR generalist experience (preferably with nonprofits or values-aligned clients)
• Experience leading HR projects like policy creation, audits, or onboarding/offboarding systems
• Experience managing end-to-end HR project delivery, including client communication, timeline management, and task coordination.
• Working knowledge of compliance areas like FMLA, ADA, EEOC, and wage & hour law
• Strong interpersonal and written communication skills
• Proficiency (or willingness to learn) ClickUp, Slack, and Google Suite
• An equity-informed mindset and commitment to social justice
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently
• Can work independently with minimal supervision while contributing meaningfully to a collaborative team.
• Comfortable using remote work tools including ClickUp, Slack, and Google Suite, and keeping tasks and communication up to date daily.
