  • Assist in creating job descriptions, managing full-cycle recruitment, and onboarding new employees.
CULTURE ADVOCATE
  • Lead employee engagement initiatives throughout the year, including diversity celebrations and programs.
  • Drive the employee engagement survey and provide analytical insights from the results to the senior leadership team to develop action plans for ongoing improvement.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS & PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
  • Act as a trusted resource for escalated employee concerns and inquiries.
  • Address and resolve complex employee issues and disputes, ensuring compliance with employment laws, company policies, and organizational values.
  • Coach leaders on effective management strategies, recommending support and programs for further development as needed.
  • Lead the annual performance review process, providing coaching and training to leaders, and ensuring timely completion of reviews.
  • Assist in developing performance review plans.
COMPLIANCE & POLICY MANAGEMENT
  • Develop, update, and maintain HR policies and programs in accordance with legal requirements and industry best practices.
  • Oversee the administration of benefits and leave programs, serving as the primary contact for vendors and brokers.
  • Manage the offboarding process.
  • Handle any immigration inquiries and requirements.

You are an ideal candidate if you possess:

  • 8+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 2 years in a leadership capacity.
  • Strong knowledge of HR policies, procedures, and employment legislation.
  • Proven track record in attracting, developing, and retaining top talent.
