Bloom | HR & Workplace Strategy Facilitator

Weâre the only firm bridging HR, DEI, and recruitment to transform the employee experience from end to end. From building teams to revamping HR systems to leading DEI workshops, we help companies design workplaces that actually work for people.

Weâve partnered with brands like CAMH, Joe Fresh, Spotify, Knix, and SmartSweets to rethink how we work. Along the way, weâve identified a major gap: the essential leadership and interpersonal skills that arenât traditionally taughtâlike giving and receiving feedback, conflict resolution, and leading with emotional intelligence. Thatâs why we created Bloom Capacity Building training, equipping teams with practical, actionable tools to navigate todayâs workplace.

Now, weâre expanding our collective of Bloom Facilitators to help lead these transformative trainings. If youâre passionate about work, people, and building stronger teams through anti-oppressive practices, letâs connect. The future of work isnât a predictionâitâs a practice. And we have the opportunity to start building it, together.

More About Us

We're a tight-knit team; however, there is space to work autonomously and independently quite a bit.

You'll never work on the weekend or hear from me (Avery) after 6 PM during the week (unless there is an emergency). People rarely work on Fridays here; if they do, it's on their own time - when they want, how they want.

You'll have autonomy and input in selecting every client we work with. No surprises. We get collective team approval before taking on any new contracts.

Compensation + Location + Hours

$40.00 - $50.00 per hour (for prep work, routine admin, creating content, and internal & client meetings) + $500 per session you facilitate. You will be joining Bloom via your corporation or as an independent contractor.

We are 100% remote and encourage folks to work where they can do their best work. That said, since weâre often facilitating or meeting with clients, we expect contractors in the Bloom collective to conduct their work from a private, secure, and quiet space to ensure a distraction-free environment.

This is a flexible, ongoing contract role based on an hourly structure. While youâll have the freedom to manage your schedule, most of our clients operate Monday to Friday between 9 AM - 5 PM EST and our training sessions are often scheduled during this window.

The Interview Process

Round 1: 30-minute video Zoom call with Agnes (Sr. HR Advisor)

Round 2: 45-minute interview with Avery Francis (Founder and CEO, Bloom)

Round 3: 60-minute interview. Youâll be given Bloomâs content for a mini-session and will deliver a mock facilitation to a panel of our team members. Thereâs no independent work or original IP required - just an opportunity to showcase your facilitation skills. As this is purely a demonstration of delivery with no new content creation, we will not be compensating candidates for this step.

We are accepting applications for this role up to April 14, 2025. All candidates who have applied will be contacted with whatâs next in the interview process by April 30, 2025. Any and all applicants that come after the communicated deadline will not be considered.

Start Date

This is a contract role on a project-by-project basis. If selected to join our collective of facilitators, youâll be engaged as a contractor for a 1-year term, with opportunities to take on facilitation work as it arises. We already have potential sessions available for contractors as early as May 2025!

Additional Information

We care deeply about offering all applicants a fair and consistent selection process. While weâd love to connect with every candidate individually, weâre unable to accommodate one-on-one conversations before the interview stage. Keeping our process structured helps us reduce bias and ensure weâre selecting facilitators based on skills, experience, and alignment with our mission.

Bloom is committed to equity and inclusion in our hiring. If youâre a person with a disability and require accommodations during the application process, please reach out to [email protected]âweâll work with you to meet your needs at every stage. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, including those from historically marginalized communities.

We know there are many great opportunities out there, so we appreciate you considering Bloom as part of your journey.
