Part Time Contractor information

What is a part time contractor?

A part time contractor is an individual who is hired to perform specific tasks or services for a company on a part-time basis, typically without being considered a full employee. They usually work under a contract that outlines the scope, duration, and payment terms of their work. Unlike full-time employees, part time contractors often have more flexible schedules, are responsible for their own taxes, and may not receive employee benefits such as health insurance or paid time off. This arrangement is common in industries like construction, IT, consulting, and creative services.

What is the difference between Part Time Contractor vs Part Time Freelancer?

AspectPart Time ContractorPart Time Freelancer
CredentialsMay require industry-specific certifications or licensesUsually no formal credentials required, but skills demonstrated through portfolio
Work EnvironmentTypically works on-site or remotely for a specific employerWorks independently, often remotely, with multiple clients
Employer UsageHired through a company or agency for a set period or projectHired directly by clients for individual projects or ongoing work
Search & Comparison IntentOften compared for structured work arrangementsCompared for flexible, independent work styles

While both roles involve part-time work, Part Time Contractors usually work for a single employer with specific credentials and a structured environment. Part Time Freelancers operate independently, often with multiple clients, offering greater flexibility but less job security.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Part Time Contractor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Contractor, you need relevant expertise in your field, strong self-management abilities, and a track record of delivering quality work independently. Familiarity with project management tools like Trello or Asana, digital communication platforms, and sometimes specific certifications or licenses are often required. Exceptional time management, adaptability, and proactive communication are the soft skills that distinguish top contractors. These skills and qualities are crucial for meeting client expectations, managing variable workloads, and maintaining long-term professional relationships.

How does working as a part-time contractor impact collaboration with full-time employees and project teams?

As a part-time contractor, you may work remotely or on-site and often join existing teams for specific projects or tasks. While you typically have more flexible hours, communication and coordination are crucial, especially when aligning your schedule with full-time staff and meeting project deadlines. Many organizations use collaboration tools, regular check-ins, and clear documentation to ensure contractors are integrated into the workflow and can contribute effectively. Building relationships with team members and maintaining proactive communication can help you overcome any barriers associated with part-time or remote status.

Job description

Senior HR Business Partner
Location: New York City
In-office: 3 days per week (Tues-Thurs)
Reports to: VP of Finance
Compensation: $150,000 - $210,000
About Axial
Axial is the trusted online M&A platform connecting buyers and sellers of $5M-$100M American privately held companies. Used by 4,000+ acquirers and 3,000+ M&A advisors, our digital transaction platform improves the speed, confidentiality, and success of private company exits.
Axial is a founder-led, profitable (since 2020) company based in NYC with a hybrid office culture. We are the category leader in our market - long-term oriented, values-driven, and focused on member trust, operational excellence, and profitable growth.
In 2025, over 12,500 private companies pursued an exit via the platform, leading to over 3 million platform connections and over $1B in annual transaction volume.
Overview
As we scale, we're looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to be the senior People voice in the room - coaching managers, partnering with leadership on talent decisions, and shaping how Axial grows its workforce.
This is a true business partner role. Most of your time is strategic: coaching managers, sharpening leadership's people decisions, and partnering through sensitive moments. You'll also oversee the People function's day-to-day, directing our HR Coordinator who handles onboarding, HRIS, benefits, and lifecycle changes.
You'll report to the VP of Finance and partner directly with the CEO, leadership team, and managers company-wide.
Responsibilities
  • Manager Coaching & Performance. Design and run performance review cycles, leveling, calibrations, and development frameworks. Coach managers through feedback, performance issues, and team-building.
  • Employee Relations. Investigate, advise on, and resolve sensitive ER matters with sound judgment, calm escalation instincts, and a clear sense of risk.
  • Talent Strategy & Hiring Partnership. Partner with leadership and hiring managers on workforce planning, role definition, leveling, comp calibration, and interview design. Shaping how and who we hire for our most consequential roles.
  • Compensation & Total Rewards Strategy. Own salary bands, leveling architecture, and the annual comp cycle. Run market benchmarking, advise on offers, and partner with the CEO and VP of Finance on equity, bonus, and total rewards philosophy.
  • Org Design & Workforce Planning. Partner with leadership on team structure, span of control, succession, and growth planning. Translate business strategy into people strategy.
  • Engagement & Retention. Own engagement strategy. Run surveys and stay interviews, analyze data, and lead action planning with managers.
  • Compliance & Risk. Own employment compliance across our global footprint. Partner with our PEO and external counsel on harder questions.
  • People Analytics. Develop insights that bring rigor to people decisions - headcount, retention, performance distribution, comp equity, and hiring funnel health.
  • Learning & Development. Design Axial's L&D framework - what we invest in and how we develop managers as we scale.
  • Operational Oversight. Direct our HR Coordinator (part-time contractor), who runs the operational backbone. You'll set priorities and ensure clean execution - the goal is to free you from operational work, not pull you into it.
  • Strategic People Initiatives. Lead projects that move the function forward - manager onboarding, leadership development, and culture programs.
How the People team is structured
As the most senior People person at Axial, you'll partner directly with leadership. The People function is structured so you can focus on strategy and judgment rather than execution:
  • HR Coordinator (part-time contractor) - Reports to you. Owns onboarding/offboarding, HRIS/PEO admin, benefits, lifecycle changes, day-to-day employee questions, compliance training, and ATS coordination.
  • Workplace Experience Associate (part-time contractor) - Reports to the VP Finance (may report to the Sr. HRBP). Owns office ops, vendors, team lunches, happy hours, and company events.
Qualifications
  • 5-9+ years of progressive HR experience, including 3+ years as a true business partner to senior leaders
  • Track record as the People voice in exec conversations - you've coached VPs, pushed back on founders, and held your own in hard rooms
  • Strong ER instincts - handled complex matters with judgment, discretion, and calm escalation
  • Experience scaling People functions in growth-stage companies
  • Comp/leveling experience across functions, including building or refining salary bands
  • Experience managing or directing junior team members or contractors
  • Strong People analytics mindset - you reach for data before opinion
  • Tech-savvy with HRIS, ATS, Google Suite, and Notion. Active AI user who leverages LLMs to accelerate your work
Working at Axial
We're a tight-knit team (~55 employees) in a modern Manhattan office (30th and Park) where you'll have a direct impact on company growth. The atmosphere is collegial and well-equipped (kitchen, snacks, coffee, relaxing spaces, games). We work hard and have fun together.
At Axial, you will also enjoy:
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance - nearly 100% paid by Axial
  • 401k program
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Paid Parental Leave Policy
  • Monthly Health & Wellness stipend
  • Pre-tax commuter program
The values we subscribe to as a company
  • Obsess Over Member Trust. Your daily choices reflect that we facilitate life-altering transactions. You take that responsibility seriously.
  • Expect and Deliver Excellence. You're consistently excellent, so colleagues confidently partner with and rely on you. You're committed to continuous improvement.
  • Communication Matters. You communicate concisely and articulately - internally and externally - and listen well and genuinely.
  • Invent and Simplify. You're open-minded, seeking ideas that elevate the member experience and finding novel ways to simplify complex status quos.
  • Be an Owner. You think long-term about your decisions and invest real time in colleague relationships.
