Sobre este puesto de Founding Partner (Fractional Head of People) en Respiris

Respiris · Seattle, Washington, United States

About Respiris

Respiris is built to ensure that no one faces career transitions alone.

We are creating a modern alternative to traditional outplacement by combining human connection, structured coaching, community, and AI-enabled tools to support individuals during some of the most important and vulnerable moments of their professional lives.

We partner with companies to support employees with greater care, consistency, and credibility during workforce change. Respiris sits at the intersection of service, community, and technology, creating a model that is both deeply human and built to scale.

This is not legacy outplacement with a new label. This is a new category built for how work, networks, and transitions actually happen today.

About the Opportunity

Respiris is building a network of Founding Partners to activate and grow markets across the United States.

This opportunity is designed for experienced operators who have already generated meaningful independent revenue and want to add outplacement as a high-margin, relationship-driven revenue stream.

As a Founding Partner, you are not reselling a centralized service. You are building the market with us.

You will deepen relationships with existing clients, create new entry points into organizations navigating workforce change, and position yourself at the center of one of the most critical moments in the employee lifecycle.

This is an additional revenue stream designed to complement and expand your existing income portfolio.

What You’ll Do

Build and activate a local market within your existing network
Develop relationships with CHROs, Heads of People, CFOs, Legal leaders, Founders, and executives
Position Respiris as a trusted partner for outplacement and transition support
Generate introductions, referrals, and partner company relationships that convert into revenue
Deliver structured coaching to individuals navigating career transitions
Facilitate engagements across a three-month lifecycle (10 sessions per engagement)
Host or support curated events (e.g., Stranger to Friends) to build trust and visibility
Collaborate directly with the Founder on market activation and growth
Use AI-enabled tools to improve execution, organization, and coaching quality
Build a repeatable revenue stream layered into your existing work

Requirements

What Makes a Great Founding Partner

You have experience as a Head of HR, HRBP, recruiter, advisor, or operator
You have generated at least $50,000 in revenue under your own EIN (required)

You are comfortable navigating sensitive employee transition moments
You can turn relationships into revenue opportunities
You are highly relational and commercially minded

Non-Negotiable Requirement

All candidates must have generated a minimum of $50,000 in independent revenue under their own EIN, regardless of current employment status (W-2, founder, advisor, or otherwise).

This ensures Founding Partners have demonstrated the ability to build, sell, and deliver independently.

What This Is Not

This is not a fit if you:

Have not generated independent revenue
Do not have an EIN or business activity
Are looking for passive leads
Want a traditional salaried role
Are uncomfortable with relationship-driven selling
Are not prepared to invest financially
Respiris accelerates operators. It does not create them.

Existing client relationships

Workforce transition events

Each engagement averages $1,500 and includes:

Ten sessions over three months
