- Provide hands-on leadership for employee relations, investigations, coaching, policy development, and performance matters.
- Enhance compensation, benefits, and total rewards programs to remain competitive and practical.
- Ensure compliance with employment standards, health and safety obligations, and HR best practices.
- Strengthen internal communication, culture initiatives, and leadership capability across the organization.
- Establish meaningful HR metrics, reporting, and dashboards to support decision-making.
- Support operational leaders in both office and manufacturing environments.
- 10+ years of progressive HR leadership experience, ideally within manufacturing, food production, distribution, or another operational environment.
- Proven success building HR programs and processes in growth-oriented companies.
- Strong working knowledge of British Columbia employment law and HR best practices.
- Comfortable operating as both strategist and doer.
- Demonstrated strength in coaching leaders, influencing decisions, and driving accountability.
- CPHR designation is considered an asset.
- Experience supporting hourly and salaried employee populations is strongly preferred.
- Opportunity to create and shape a newly formed senior HR leadership role.
- Direct impact on company growth, culture, and leadership capability.
- Join a stable and entrepreneurial Canadian business with strong momentum.
- Competitive compensation package including base salary of $140,000 to $170,000 plus bonus and benefits, depending on experience.
