Interim Senior HRBP

9Box is a fractional People Operations consultancy. We embed senior People leaders directly into growing companies - professional sports organizations, CPG brands, and venture-backed technology startups, and do the work alongside them.

Our model is deliberately different from traditional HR consulting. We're innovative and problem-solvers - driving impact through process changes.

This is a contractor role starting at 20 hours/week.

We're hiring a Senior HRBP to support multiple client engagements concurrently. This is hands-on work. You'll be the People partner for founders, executives, and functional leaders who need real judgment on real problems - not frameworks in the abstract.

You’ll move between clients in a single week, which means switching context between a fast-scaling CPG brand and a gaming organization without dropping quality in either. Employee Relations

Advise managers and executives on performance concerns, conduct issues, and difficult conversations before they escalated

Handle separations, severance analysis, and separation agreements in partnership with counsel

Flag legal and reputational exposure early and clearly, without alarmism
