Who You Are

Our Human Resources team is looking for an enthusiastic, solutions-oriented team player that takes initiative and thrives on a high performing team. You are self-motivated, self-starting and utilize a proactive approach to work. You value partnerships. A high volume of work does not intimidate you. You are able to prioritize tasks and meet strict deadlines in a fast-paced environment, with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail. You demonstrate tact, diplomacy and sound discretion when working with a broad range of partners.

You like to have fun - this Human Resources team works hard, but also enjoys each other’s company and we make time to connect. Hearing laughter is not uncommon and the open concept office space allows for frequent, real time team huddles on current challenges and opportunities.

To you, being at work is a mindset and not a location. You can switch seamlessly across modes of work and cultural norms of working in different environments. You know you best, including the tasks you do better when working virtually versus on-site. You believe that the cornerstone of successful working relationships is trust and understand how this positively impacts productivity and performance. You have a high degree of accountability, readily adapt to disruption, like to learn to skills, and explore new ways to connect and collaborate in the digital world.
