Part-Time, Flexible HR Business Partner/Consultant

About the role

Be the next FACE of MRA! Friendly. Accountable. Centered on Members. Engaged. That's the FACE Culture - and what we live and breathe here at MRA. MRA-The Management Association is seeking an HR Business Partner to join our HR Services team in Milwaukee in November 2026 to take on a long-term engagement with a member organization that our team has been supporting for several years. This assignment requires two days per week on-site at our member organization, Shorewood. Opportunities for additional engagements with other member organizations are also available alongside this engagement. As an HR consultant, you’ll partner with organizations across multiple industries, serving as a trusted advisor on both strategic and day-to-day HR challenges. Think Jill or Jack of all HR Trades: one day you’re tackling employee relations and open enrollment, the next you’re advising leaders, improving processes, or jumping in solve compliance quandaries. If you’re the HR professional others turn to for the tough stuff—and you thrive on variety, autonomy, and impact—you’ll feel right at home here. Every day is different. Every member organization is unique. And your work directly helps businesses build stronger, more effective workplaces.
