• Analyze HR trends and metrics to develop solutions, programs, and policies
• Coach employees and people leaders to role model behaviours that support our company values and culture
• Provide interpretation and guidance for the application of HR policies and procedures
• Partner with internal COE teams to provide feedback, development, and implementation of HR programs (i.e. Learning and development, compliance, compensation, etc)
• Partner with leadership on workforce management and proactively identify resourcing needs across the teams you support

Skills we’re looking for:

• Demonstrated ability to effectively partner and collaborate with all levels of the organization and positively influence teams
• Applied knowledge of local labour laws and statutes for employment across Canada provinces with thorough understanding and hands‑on application of internal and external HR principles, practices and standards
• Demonstrated experience in organizational development and/or change management
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills; ability to assess situations and make decisions based on data while drawing from previous experience
• Demonstrated experience with coaching employees and management through complex and difficult issues
