Toronto, Ontario, Canada Branch Furniture Full time

About Branch

Branch 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 while--about 85 years, in fact. That's the average age of the top twenty-five office furniture companies in America. None of them were born after the Internet. Branch makes beautiful and supportive work products for enterprises and home offices, too. Our mission extends beyond furniture into health, productivity and more.

We're based in NYC and backed by the investors behind household brands like Quip, Caraway and Peloton. Our founders arrive with experience in partnerships, real estate acquisitions and venture building at leading real estate companies like Oxford Properties, SL Green and Redfin.

We're an ambitious group of problem solvers innovating across software, design and logistics, and we're looking for entrepreneurial teammates who like a challenge.

The Role

We're seeking a temporary People Operations Specialist to oversee the day-to-day HR functions at Branch during a maternity leave. This is a great opportunity to own the HR function in a thriving startup environment, where you'll gain exposure to all areas of the business, and experience the excitement of wearing a variety of hats every day.

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. You'll act as the main point of contact for all HR matters, reporting directly to the CEO and collaborating with stakeholders across North America.

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

The Ideal Candidate

You're not just a self-starter; you're the kind who thrives in dynamic environments, diving headfirst into challenges with gusto. You embody resourcefulness, speed, and a keen eye for detail, seamlessly blending analytical prowess with a knack for creative problem-solving. Your collaborative spirit isn't just about teamwork; it's about lifting your colleagues up, nurturing their growth, and propelling them towards their career goals. You aren't afraid to ask questions and challenge the status quo. You're the epitome of a "get things done" mentality, unafraid to tackle any obstacle and navigate through ambiguity with finesse.

Day To Day

  • Ensure compliance with labor regulations across US and Canada
  • Manage payroll for US and Canada
  • Manage onboarding and offboarding processes
  • Administer and analyze employee engagement surveys
  • Promote HR programs to foster a positive and productive work environment
  • Assist in talent acquisition and recruitment processes
  • Lead learning & development initiatives
  • Provide employee support and respond to general questions regarding company policies, systems, leaves, benefits, and more
  • Coach managers on effective leadership practices, employee development strategies, and conflict resolution techniques
  • Partner with our insurance broker to manage benefit programs, open enrollment, and auditing and managing benefits data, as needed
  • Work closely with the founding team to keep a pulse on organizational health and employee engagement
  • Drive DEI initiatives alongside our DEI committee BranchTogether
  • Maintain and update employee data across systems

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in Human Resources or People Operations
  • Knowledge of payroll and benefits administration across US and Canada
  • Experience running end-to-end review cycles and performance management programs
  • Experience designing and rolling out engagement surveys and conducting data analysis
  • Keen attention to detail and ability to maintain data integrity
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, coupled with discretion in maintaining confidentiality
  • A willingness to collaborate and take on miscellaneous tasks and projects, as needed
  • Experience designing and implementing processes across all HR functions
  • Experience with HR compliance, including familiarity with regulations and state registrations, and tax filings
  • Bonus: Experience with administering the following HR systems: Lattice, JazzHR, Carta, Humi, TriNet

Branch is proud to be an equal opportunity employer that celebrates individuality and uniqueness. We firmly believe that diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences fuel innovation and creativity, ultimately making us a stronger and more effective team. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment where all individuals are respected, appreciated, and empowered to achieve their utmost potential while being their true authentic self. Branch is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to ensure our selection process is equitable, and such accommodations can be made available on request.
