HR Administration & Policy Alignment:

Assist the small, dedicated Operations team with high-volume administrative day-to-day tasks.

Support the transition between platforms and assist in implementing new policies and procedures to align the Canadian entity with the parent company's standards.

Manage critical HR steps (e.g., reviewing contracts, processing terminations, communicating changes to payroll, new hire orientation) to ensure all pieces are connected and go through the right channels.

Qualifications
2-4 years of progressive experience in a Human Resources role, ideally involving policy processing and updating, onboarding and new hire orientation, reporting.

Strong understanding of Employment Standards Law and policies and proven ability to implement them in everyday work.

Exceptional skills in data management, attention to detail, and problem-solving.

Experience working with HRIS platforms (e.g., BambooHR, UKG would be preferred) and generating accurate reports/analytics.

Must be tech-savvy and self-sufficient, capable of navigating new systems and managing tasks independently in a remote environment.
