The Role
You've spent years mastering the complexities of HR and people operations. You're a problem solver by nature, but your current life season requires a different kind of balance.
Compass is looking for a Consultant who wants to keep their seat at the table without that meaning working 40 hours a week. We need a high-level HR practitioner who can provide real-time service to our clients, ensuring that strategic momentum never stalls.

We aren't looking for a temporary resource or a freelancer. We are looking for a core member of the Compass team who simply works a tighter, more intentional schedule.
