Job description

Who we are
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

Our special culture shines through when we have the opportunity to connect in person. That’s why we’re working in a model where teams are required to be together in the office 4 days per week.

As a People and Culture Manager your responsibilities will include:

1. Connect in inspirational ways with our P&C team and work with them to prioritize successful attraction, engagement and development of talent
2. Contribute directly to the development of the Business Unit’s People Managers by coaching them to excel in their people management responsibilities
3. Reinforce the development of a coaching culture as a way of inspiring our people and our clients
4. Support cultural integration of our merged-in colleagues
5. Bring the firm’s Purpose to life as the why for all important decisions, goals and activities
6. Role model collaboration, shared leadership, inclusion and a coaching orientation in all interactions – every touch leaves a trace
7. Execute the National Inclusiveness strategy in the Business Unit to integrate the firm’s commitment to inclusion in all people practices
8. Work to ensure effective and inclusive communication throughout the business unit
9. Collaborate with your colleagues to execute on the strategic People and Culture vision and share knowledge and best practices
10. Execute on the cyclical HR processes and administration for various locations
11. Promote and support the firm’s employer brand in all activities within the firm and externally

A role in our People and Culture team is a unique opportunity to use your head, heart and gut. You will:

1. Collaborate with talented, entrepreneurial professionals who are trusted advisors to our clients
2. Be part of a unique work culture that supports your growth as a leader and coach and challenges you to further your professional development and enhance your chosen career path
3. Be a true business partner and work with our leadership teams to strategically impact our organization

Doane Grant Thornton
If you’re a bit like us, you’re driven to connect with how others are feeling and thinking. Here we walk in others shoes before taking action. Just imagine being part of a team that puts “we before me”, where flexAbility is a mindset, and where you trust your colleagues to have your back. At Doane Grant Thornton, you’ll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are. And when all this comes together, well that’s when the magic happens!
