About Bering Straits Native Corporation
Bering Straits Native Corporation (BSNC) was formed as a result of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) in 1972. As the regional Alaska Native Corporation for the Bering Strait region, we encompass the majority of the Seward Peninsula and the coastal lands of eastern Norton Sound. This is one of the most culturally diverse regions in the state, where three distinct Native languages are spoken: St. Lawrence Island Yupik, Central Yup'ik, and Inupiaq.

The Human Resources Business Partner serves as a strategic guide across HR functions, driving operational excellence and supporting federal contracting requirements while contributing to a positive employee experience. This role is designed to proactively partner with leadership to address organizational needs, cultivate strong working relationships, and ensure alignment between HR practices and business goals.

A key aspect of this role involves interpreting complex documents, such as federal contracts and legal codes, to formulate opinions and bring potential compliance issues to management's attention. You will work effectively with a diverse population of employees, ranging from executive leadership to staff, within a multi-industry environment that includes significant business with the federal government.
