About OHTN

The Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN) is a leading non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with and at risk of HIV. Since 1998, OHTN has been a pivotal force in using data, evidence, and community partnerships to drive change across Ontario. Collaborating with HIV testing clinics, service organizations, and health policy leaders, OHTN supports the implementation of the province’s HIV strategy, equity-focused care models, and health systems innovation.

OHTN is proudly committed to anti-racism, reconciliation, and the meaningful involvement of people living with HIV (GIPA/MIPA). Our team thrives on collaboration, inclusion, and action—and we want you to be part of it.

Your Role: Director, People & Culture

As the Director, People & Culture, you are more than an HR leader—you are a strategic partner and cultural architect. Reporting to the Senior Director, Operations, you will set the tone for how people experience the organization—from their first interaction as candidates to their growth and success as team members. You will drive initiatives that not only meet compliance standards but also elevate employee experience, foster inclusion, and build future-ready talent capabilities.

This is a transformative leadership opportunity for someone who thrives on collaboration, is passionate about equity and change management, and knows how to design systems that support both people and performance. You will be a trusted advisor to senior leaders, a mentor to managers, and a resource to all staff, ensuring that HR is not only operationally sound but also strategically aligned with OHTN’s broader mission of social impact and health equity.

What You’ll Do

• Lead HR strategy and initiatives aligned with OHTN’s mission and values
• Shape an inclusive and equitable workplace by embedding DEI principles across all HR programs
• Guide recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and employee recognition
• Support change management and workforce transformation
• Advise on employment relations, collective agreements, and conflict resolution
• Oversee payroll, benefits, policies, and HR operations
• Develop talent pipelines, succession planning, and leadership development
• Analyze and report workforce metrics to support evidence-based decision-making

What You Bring

• 7–10 years of HR experience, including 5+ years in leadership roles in unionized environments
• Expertise in labour relations, HR compliance, and employee relations
• Deep commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism practices
• Strategic thinker with operational know-how and a people-first mindset
• CHRP/CHRL or similar certification is an asset
• Experience in healthcare, non-profit, or social service sectors is a plus

Why Join Us?

At OHTN, you’ll be more than just an HR leader—you’ll be part of a passionate team working toward systemic change in healthcare and equity. This is your chance to shape the future of an organization that values collaboration, resilience, and social impact.
