OPERATIONS + HR SUPPORT

Most growing companies hit a point where Operations or HR work is clearly someone's job — but that someone is the founder, the office manager, or whoever has the most bandwidth that week. Things get done, mostly, but nothing is quite right.

The employee records are incomplete. The onboarding is inconsistent. The policies exist somewhere but nobody's sure they're current. And every new hire, every compliance question, every "can you just handle this" adds another hour to someone's already full plate.

The retainer is designed for exactly this stage.

As your fractional Operations + HR partner, I step into your people and business operations and handle the work that keeps slipping to the bottom of the list — not as a consultant who hands you a report, but as someone who actually does the work.

In a given month, that might look like a new hire fully recruited, interviewed, and onboarded into a process that makes your company feel like the serious operation it is. It might mean a handbook completed, a benefits vendor selected and implemented with a training rollout for your team, and you didn’t have to spend hours researching different vendor options. It could mean that your employee records system is built out and compliant.

Often it's steady progress across all of the above. Things stop piling up and being so chaotic.

What you get back: the hours you were spending on all of it — available now for raising money, managing money, and building the thing you actually started this company to build.

Best for: growing teams who need steady HR support without hiring full-time
Investment: $5,000/month
Time commitment: approximately 10 hours per week
Minimum engagement: typically 3 months

Fractional OPS/HR on Retainer

When companies say, “We need Operations or HR support—but not a full-time hire yet,” they’re perfectly poised for what we do.

The retainer model is designed for growing teams that need consistent, reliable support—without the cost or complexity of hiring internally too soon.

As a fractional partner, I step into your day-to-day people operations and handle the work that quietly drains leadership time, including:

  • Ongoing policy development and updates

  • Onboarding systems, documentation, and compliance support

  • Performance frameworks and review cycles, compensation philosophies that are defined

  • Manager guidance and support

  • Role clarity, expectations, and internal documentation

Everything is done through an anti-burnout, systems-aware lens, meaning the structures we build won’t quietly create bigger problems six months down the line.

NOT SURE WHAT YOU NEED?

If you’re not sure, that’s normal. Most clients start with a conversation and decide from there.
