Manager, People & Culture

Role Description

We are seeking a Manager, People & Culture to join our purpose-driven team on a permanent, full-time basis. As the sole People & Culture representative, you will be the main point of contact for employee experience, people development and benefits, while providing support across our strategic people & talent initiatives. This role is ideal for candidates with an “HR/People Generalist” background and a varied skillset, who relish the opportunity for growth and development. This is a hands-on People role — in the same week you might be updating time-off balances, coaching a Team Lead, and planning our company retreat.

Qualifications

• You are a people-first culture champion – you are the natural voice for our people.
• You are the energy behind our celebrations, traditions, and the moments that make work fun.
• You build deep relationships across all levels of the company – employees seek you out, trust your integrity, and know you'll advocate for them.
• You are an ambitious and accountable person – you can implement inventive solutions to solve tough problems.
• You possess a continuous improvement mindset – you don't rest on your laurels and know that growth is not a checklist.
• You are smart, agile, and driven – you can take an assignment head-on and run with it.
• You know best practice is only best practice when it fits – you'd rather build the right solution for Bursting Silver than import a framework because a textbook said so.
• You balance big-picture thinking with hands-on execution – you're as comfortable designing a program as you are running the day-to-day work behind it.
• You are a strong communicator (English) with a friendly and helpful personality.
• You are all about Team. Although we may not always be at the same place or working on the same project – we are always connected and communicating with one another to support each other. We leverage technology to the max.
• You care – about our people, our clients, and your community. Giving back is such an important part of what we do.

Requirements

• 7 years' progressive HR/People Operations experience with no less than 3 years in a senior generalist/people leadership capacity, ideally in the technology and/or consulting industries.
• Demonstrated experience with strategic planning input, including role design and reward framework application.
• Ability to manage multiple competing priorities across various stakeholders.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Excellent organisation skills and the ability to meet strict deadlines.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.

Benefits

• Excellent pay & comprehensive benefits package.
• 2-time Top 100 Best Workplaces in Canada & 4-time Great Place to Work® Certified company.
• 4-day work week during the summer months & flexible work hours around our core hours.
• “Remote First” environment with flexible work & office locations.
• Regular company social events, games nights, virtual and in-person.

• Genuine opportunities for growth and development within the company.
