Taking people strategies from concept to reality.
Welcome! I’m Amanda Malcolm, founder of NextPhaseHR. For over 20 years, I’ve helped startups to midsize businesses take their HR programs, processes, and systems from idea to fully operational. Whether you’re building from scratch, fixing what’s broken, or trying to get stalled initiatives off the ground, I’m the partner who gets it over the finish line.
What I Do:
People are your greatest investment—and the most expensive to get wrong. I help leaders and HR teams operationalize their people strategies by:
-
Turning programs and processes into solutions that work for their business.
-
Implementing HR systems that fit your culture and business needs.
-
Fixing what’s broken and building what’s missing.
-
Guiding teams through change so initiatives actually stick.
Every solution is tailored to your business's culture, maturity and goals - and designed to last long after the project wraps. ​
​
Who I Partner With:
-
Founders who need scalable HR foundations to support growth.
-
Executives navigating transformation and change.
-
HR teams that need a partner to implement, fix, or build programs and systems.
My Approach:
NextPhaseHR is built on trust, authenticity, and impact. I bring partnership, strategic insight, and hands-on leadership to every engagement—bridging the gap between planning and execution. Clients get more than advice; they get a trusted partner who sees the big picture and delivers.
​
Whether it’s a new HR system, a broken process, or a people initiative that’s lost steam, I’ll help you turn it into something that works for your business. Because your next phase deserves more than a plan—it deserves to become reality.

Core Values
~ Authenticity ~ Trust ~ Impact ~
🔹Authenticity – I believe in real, honest partnerships built on trust and transparency. I don’t sugar-coat the truth or offer fluff—but I deliver it with care, empathy, and your best interests at heart. I do what’s right for your business, not just what’s easy—and I’ll always share what you need to hear in a way that supports you and your goals.
🔹 Trust – Trust is the foundation of every successful partnership. My clients count on me as a true extension of their leadership team, and I take that responsibility seriously. I build trust by delivering on commitments, communicating with transparency, and creating space for open, honest conversations. With discretion, integrity, and clarity, I help leaders navigate change with confidence.
​
🔹Impact – My work isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about driving meaningful, lasting change. I focus on solutions that are practical, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most to your business and your people.
