THE ORGANIZATION BC Green is a local, family-owned and operated cannabis producer, located in the beautiful Okanagan-Similkameen Valley of Princeton, BC. We have a strong passion for this evolving industry, and we take great pride in providing consumers with the best quality products on the market. Our founders and dedicated cultivation leaders represent a team of sophisticated cannabis enthusiasts. Together, we are deeply committed to unravelling the magic and untapped potential which these products have to offer. THE OPPORTUNITY BC Green is seeking an experienced Senior Manager, Human Resources to join its leadership team in Princeton, British Columbia. The Senior Manager, Human Resources will be responsible for leading all aspects of the organization’s human resources function while partnering closely with executive leadership to ensure people strategies support business growth, operational performance, and organizational sustainability. A critical component of the role will be helping the organization proactively identify workforce needs, develop internal talent, strengthen leadership capability, and create systems and processes that support continued growth while preserving the entrepreneurial culture that has contributed to BC Green’s success. This role is based on-site in Princeton, BC. Some travel may be required to support multi-site or external engagement needs. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES Lead BC Green’s HR function in partnership with the executive team, ensuring HR priorities are anchored to business needs and people decisions are made proactively rather than reactively. Execute BC Green’s workforce planning, ensuring the organization has the people, pipeline, and succession depth it needs to sustain performance and support growth, including hiring forecasting, future talent requirements, workforce capacity, and talent pipelines. Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of BC Green’s performance management system, ensuring accountability is embedded consistently across every level of leadership and the HR function models the standards it asks of others, including role clarity, KPI-based accountability, structured review cycles, attendance management, and coaching for people leaders. Lead learning and development programming, including onboarding, required training, and leadership development, building the bench strength BC Green needs to grow its next generation of leaders from within, while supporting employee growth, career progression, internal mobility, and the development of high‑potential employees. Lead and reinforce BC Green’s high-performance culture by working with executive leadership and department heads to embed recognition, accountability, and values-consistent behaviours across the organization, including fostering an inclusive environment. Manage employee relations across the organization, ensuring conflicts are resolved impartially, issues are addressed early, and the HR function is trusted as a fair and consistent resource at every level, including investigations, disciplinary processes, performance improvement, and employment legislation guidance. Support compensation, benefits, and total rewards administration, including compensation reviews, salary benchmarking, pay administration practices, benefits renewal, broker relationships, and recommendations that support attraction, retention, engagement, employee value, and fiscal responsibility. Monitor workforce and people metrics, including turnover, vacancy rates, recruitment effectiveness, workforce capacity, engagement metrics, utilization and effectiveness of total rewards programs, and performance completion rates, and communicate findings and recommendations clearly to leadership. Lead BC Green’s Health & Safety program, maintaining regulatory compliance, leading safety inspections and incident investigations, and building a culture of proactive hazard identification and risk control, including corrective action tracking and WorkSafeBC requirements. VALUE CONTRIBUTION Do It Right: Leads HR programs and processes at a high standard without exception, because the credibility of the performance management and culture-building effort depends on HR itself executing with the same discipline it asks of others. Keep It Simple: Designs and maintains HR processes that are clear, repeatable, and usable by operational leaders, removing unnecessary complexity and ensuring tools are practical enough to be applied consistently across the business. Build Strength: Builds a team and an HR function that executes reliably and independently, through coaching, delegation, cross-training, and developing the capability of direct reports so the organization grows stronger over time. Play the Long Game: Raises concerns, addresses performance issues, and makes difficult people decisions directly and promptly, even when doing so is uncomfortable, because protecting the quality of BC Green's culture and team is a longer-term responsibility than avoiding short-term friction.
