We are looking for a proactive and adaptable HR Business Partner to support our Canadian and US colleagues. This is a varied role that combines hands-on local HR operations, local office management, and business partnering support for two senior executives. The successful candidate will be comfortable moving between strategic people topics and operational detail, bringing sound judgement, strong organisation, and a practical, service-oriented approach.
As part of a global People Team, this role will work closely with the CHRO and colleagues across regions to ensure employees and leaders in Canada and the US receive consistent, high-quality HR support while also reflecting local employment practices, workplace expectations, and office needs.
Key Responsibilities:
HR Operations and Employee Support
- Provide day-to-day HR support to employees and managers in Canada and the US, acting as a first point of contact for local people-related queries.
- Support core HR processes including onboarding, employee changes, absence management, leavers, documentation, and maintenance of HR systems and records.
- Help ensure HR practices and documentation are aligned with Canadian and US employment requirements and internal policies.
- Coordinate with payroll, benefits, finance, IT, and other internal teams to ensure smooth employee lifecycle processes.
- Identify opportunities to improve local HR processes, employee experience, and ways of working.
Business Partnering
- Provide HR business partnering support to two senior executives, building trusted relationships and understanding their business priorities.
- Support leaders with organisational changes, workforce planning, employee relations, engagement, performance, talent, and team effectiveness topics.
- Use people data, feedback, and local insight to help leaders identify risks, opportunities, and practical solutions.
- Balance commercial awareness with employee experience, providing pragmatic advice and escalating complex matters where appropriate.
- Contribute to global People Team initiatives and help translate global frameworks into locally relevant actions for Canada.
Local Office Management
- Oversee the smooth day-to-day running of the local office environment, ensuring employees and visitors have a positive and professional experience.
- Coordinate office supplies, vendors, facilities requests, local events, and practical workplace requirements.
- Support health, safety, and workplace procedures locally, working with relevant internal and external partners as needed.
- Act as a local culture and engagement champion, helping connect the Canadian office with global team activities and communications.
What we're looking for:
- Typically 2–4 years’ as an existing HR Business Partner.
- Experience supporting employees and managers in Canada is preferred; exposure to supporting US colleagues would be an advantage.
- Exposure to employee relations, onboarding, performance processes, HR systems, benefits, or payroll coordination would be beneficial.
- Experience in an international, scaling, SaaS, technology, or multi-site business would be an advantage.
- Relevant HR qualification, degree, or equivalent practical experience is desirable.
- Good working knowledge of Canadian and US HR practices, with the ability to know when to seek specialist advice.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with confidence managing both structured processes and ad hoc requests.
- Comfortable working directly with senior stakeholders, with the judgement and maturity to handle sensitive topics appropriately.
- Ability to switch between strategic support and operational delivery, staying calm and effective when priorities change.
- Comfortable working independently in Canada while supporting colleagues across Canada and the US, and staying well connected to a London-based CHRO and global team.
- Relationship-led, credible, and able to build trust with employees, managers, senior leaders, and global HR colleagues.
- Solutions-focused, with the confidence to make recommendations and the humility to ask for support when needed.
