What You’ll Do.
We’re all about teamwork, inclusivity, and growth!

Learning & Development Support:

• Help deliver training through our FUSE platform, our cross-training program, lunch & learns and AI training week.

Employer Branding:

• Represent us at job fairs and internship recruitment events, contribute to LinkedIn recruitment content, and help keep our career page and Own Your Future program fresh and visible.

Who You Are

• 2 years of experience in recruitment, HR coordination, or a similar people-facing role.
• Great organizational skills and an eye for detail, especially when things get busy.
• You must be Fluent in both French and English, as you’ll collaborate with colleagues across North America and Denmark.
• Comfortable using recruitment and learning platforms (ATS, LMS / e-learning tools).
• A genuine interest in the candidate and employee experience, from the first job posting to their next big training moment.
