Toronto, Ontario, Canada Branch Full time

is shaking up the $46B office furniture industry to create an office experience for the 21st century: easy, affordable and flexible so you can sit down (or stand) and get to work.

Office furniture hasn't changed in a whileabout 85 years, in fact. That's the average age of the top twenty-five office furniture companies in America. Branch makes beautiful and supportive work products for enterprises and home offices, too. Our mission extends beyond furniture into health, productivity and more.

Your main responsibilities will include ensuring compliance with HR regulations, managing onboarding and offboarding processes, administering payroll and benefits, driving recruitment efforts, and supporting performance management initiatives.

You'll be the primary liaison between the Branch team and upper management, implementing strategies to enhance job satisfaction, and coordinating our DEI initiatives.

This is a 12-15 month contract position beginning in late May-early June 2024.

You embody resourcefulness, speed, and a keen eye for detail, seamlessly blending analytical prowess with a knack for creative problem-solving.
