About You:

The Opportunity:

• Partner closely with the People Practice Leader to develop and execute HR operational processes and services with a focus on employee life cycle, data, and integrity.
• Support employees, leaders, and teams on issues related to policy, programs, processes and legislation, and problem-solving to provide effective solutions.
• Become a technology super-user, identifying ways we can get the most from our tools and shift towards further automating our processes while ensuring the accuracy and integrity of data.
• Support the implementation and maintenance of various HR programs and initiatives based on client needs.
• Play a role in the planning and execution of team events and initiatives, fostering a culture of celebration and belonging.
• Partner with our Finance Team on payroll information, processes and information flow related to clients.
• Contribute to knowledge articles which are shared with clients and the public.

What We Are Looking For:

• Bachelors degree or college diploma with a focus in business or human resources
• 4-6 years of experience working in HR in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, preferably in tech
• You have experience working in a scaling organizational environment supporting the business and people through rapid growth.
• Experience with student and full-time recruitment and university relations.
• Experience developing new hire onboarding and offboarding programs.
• A solid understanding of compliance within Canada, primarily Ontario, and development of employee handbooks.
• Technologically proficient with an ability to learn new software and platforms with ease.
• Experience with BambooHR, Rippling, Hi Bob and/or other similar HR systems.
• Experience administering benefits, supporting open enrollment, and assisting employees with questions and resources.
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with professionalism and a high degree of discretion.
• Experience navigating performance and employee relations issues.
• A positive attitude and a passion to learn and grow.
