Job description

At Roofr, we’re obsessed with our customers. We constantly gather feedback to shape, prioritize, and launch the products they truly need. That’s what makes Roofr’s CRM special. We started by building essential sales tools like aerial roof measurements and digital sales proposals. But when our customers asked for a simple, affordable way to manage and scale their entire businesses, we listened. So, we created a CRM that connects these solutions—along with payments, material ordering, and more—into a seamless, powerful platform. With a clear roadmap ahead, we’re excited to continue expanding and leading the market with innovative products.

We have an amazing culture, strong financials, and best-in-class company metrics. It’s an exciting time to be part of an extraordinary startup that is already successful, yet still early enough to offer its team significant growth, equity, and the opportunity to make a real impact.

We’re looking for a highly detail-oriented, organized, and proactive People Operations Specialist to support the day-to-day execution of our People Operations function. This role is ideal for someone with a natural sense of urgency who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, anticipates needs before they arise, and takes pride in keeping people processes running smoothly.

You’ll partner closely with People Ops, Talent, Finance, and cross-functional leaders to ensure a seamless employee experience from onboarding through offboarding while maintaining accurate systems, documentation, and compliance as we scale.

What You’ll Get to Do

• Own and execute employee lifecycle operations, including onboarding, offboarding, job changes, and internal transfers
• Take full ownership of HR administrative workflows, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness across all employee data and documentation
• Independently manage background checks, employment verifications, and compliance requirements with strong attention to detail
• Support benefits administration, acting as a reliable point of contact for employee questions and changes
• Prepare and audit data for payroll, proactively identifying and resolving discrepancies
• Maintain and improve HRIS and People systems, ensuring data integrity and scalable processes
• Partner cross-functionally with Talent, Finance, IT, and Legal, driving issues to resolution with minimal oversight
• Own policy acknowledgements, documentation tracking, and audit readiness end-to-end
• Support people programs, engagement initiatives, and internal communications
• Identify gaps, document processes, and proactively recommend improvements to help People Ops scale efficiently

What You’ll Bring to the Role

• 1–3+ years of experience in People Operations, HR Administration, or HR Coordination
• Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment
• Exceptionally detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable managing multiple priorities independently
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability — you see work through from start to finish
• Ability to work with autonomy, making sound decisions and escalating thoughtfully when needed
• A proactive mindset with a natural sense of urgency
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion
• Experience working cross-functionally with employees and leaders at all levels

Bonus Points

• Experience supporting international employees or contractors
• Familiarity with multi-region employment compliance
• Experience with benefits or payroll administration
• Interest in growing into a broader People Ops Generalist or Specialist role

Compensation Band: $66,000.00 - $78,000.00 CAD
