Through collaboration with leaders and team members alike, you will integrate wellness into policies, culture, and daily operations, ensuring that every team member has access to the resources they need to thrive. You will also manage key wellness partnerships and measure program effectiveness, continuously evolving our approach based on employee needs and feedback. Equity, diversity, and inclusion will be at the core of your work, making wellness truly accessible to all.

You are a people-focused leader with deep expertise in workplace wellness. With a background in wellness programming, occupational health, or human resources, you understand how to create programs that make a meaningful difference in employees’ lives. You are a strategic thinker with a compassionate approach, and you thrive in environments that value collaboration, innovation, and data-driven decision-making. With post-secondary education in human resources, health and wellness, psychology, or a related field, and at least five years of experience leading health and safety initiatives, you have a strong understanding of best practices in mental health, employee engagement, and program development.
