• Partner with managers to support employee relations, performance conversations, and day-to-day HR inquiries.
• Coordinate and facilitate training programs, including onboarding, compliance training, and occasional professional development sessions.
• Assist in the development and administration of HR policies, procedures, and documentation for the Canadian office.
• Provide payroll support by ensuring accurate employee data, processing changes, and acting as a liaison between the Canadian payroll provider and the Accounting Team.
• Track and manage employee records, leaves of absence, vacation balances, and time-off policies in alignment with regional guidelines.
• Maintain confidentiality and sensitivity when managing employee matters and handling HR documentation.
• Support HR reporting and metrics tracking, including headcount, turnover, training compliance, and employee satisfaction.
• Lead or support local employee engagement initiatives, wellness efforts, and events to foster a strong culture.
• Assist with annual audits, including compliance, payroll, and benefits reporting, as needed.
• Perform other HR-related duties and projects as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field required.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of progressive HR experience, preferably in a generalist role supporting Canadian employees.
• Strong knowledge of Alberta and federal Canadian employment laws, labor standards, and HR best practices.
• Experience with benefits administration, recruitment, and payroll coordination in a Canadian setting.
• Exceptional organizational and time management skills; able to balance multiple priorities across regions.
• Ability to handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate effectively across time zones and teams.
• Proficiency in HRIS platforms (experience with Rippling is a plus).
• Experience supporting team members is preferred.
• CHRP or CHRL designation (completed or in progress) is an asset.

Why Join Us?
