About the role

At Intact, we believe that insurance should primarily focus on people, not things. This conviction is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we strive to offer an exceptional experience to our clients and create an inspiring workplace where our employees can excel.

Collaborate with company leaders and executives to deploy HR programs that will help achieve business results.

Monitor HR-related indicators within your area of responsibility and, if necessary, anticipate the required actions.

Contribute to the execution and deployment of the annual HR cycle, which includes performance management, talent and succession management, and engagement.

Support the team and organizational partners by helping them resolve employee relations issues or any other complex issues.

Stay informed about industry and HR trends and make appropriate recommendations.

Recommend changes based on internal trends and competitive benchmarking analysis.

Collaborate with various centers of expertise, such as talent acquisition and compensation, on strategies for the business units under your responsibility.

Actively contribute to special projects (regional or national) as needed.

Your background:

Bachelor's degree in a related field.

At least 10 years of experience in HR roles with increasing responsibilities, including at least 7 years as a generalist.

Experience in managing, supervising, and coaching employees.

Demonstration of behaviors related to our values and leadership success factors.

Result-oriented with strong analytical skills.
