Human Resources Generalist

3 weeks ago

Calgary Alberta DJ, CA CRAFT Beer Market Full time

Reporting to the Director of Finance, the HR Generalist serves as CRAFT’s primary human resource professional, working independently while receiving support and guidance from finance leadership. This is a hands-on, in-office role that requires the ability to think strategically while executing HR tasks with precision. From high-level planning to the smallest details, this role demands an individual who can drive HR initiatives forward while staying deeply involved in daily operations.


This position is well-suited for a self-sufficient, results-driven HR professional who thrives in an environment where they can work autonomously while maintaining strong relationships across the organization. The HR Generalist plays a critical role in supporting senior team leaders, assisting in hiring, onboarding, training, compliance, and employee development. Success in this role depends on the ability to proactively engage with employees, foster a positive workplace culture, and ensure that HR initiatives align with the company’s operational and growth strategies.


While working closely with the Director of Finance, the HR Generalist ensures compliance, audits training programs, and drives process improvements. Additionally, this role will collaborate with company executives to company initiatives and requires a high level of organization, adaptability, and attention to detail—executing HR processes effectively, no matter how minor the task. The HR Generalist must be hands-on, proactive, and capable of thinking at a strategic level while also managing the day-to-day realities of HR operations. Their ability to lead by example, remain detail-oriented, and uphold the company’s “hands-on” philosophy is essential to success in this position.

  • Track employee milestones (e.g., birthdays, anniversaries) and administer recognition programs.
  • Assist in developing and implementing staff incentives and engagement initiatives to foster a positive workplace culture.
  • Support diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, helping create an inclusive work environment.

Process Improvement & Business Support
