About the Role:

BrightIron is excited to grow the People Practice and we are looking for a talented and budding HR professional to work with our People Practice Leader. This person will help build the practice and also work with several startups as we develop their HR foundation and serve their HR needs.

Your value:

• You consider yourself a go-getter, self-driven, and customer-focused. You have enough experience that you can work independently but you’re also seeking support, mentorship, and guidance from a seasoned HR leader.

The Opportunity:

• Partner closely with the People Practice Leader to develop and execute HR operational processes and services with a focus on employee life cycle, data, and integrity.
• Support employees, leaders, and teams on issues related to policy, programs, processes, and legislation, and problem-solving to provide effective solutions.
• Become a technology super-user, identifying ways we can get the most from our tools and shift towards further automating our processes while ensuring the accuracy and integrity of data.
• Support the implementation and maintenance of various HR programs and initiatives based on client needs.
• Play a role in the planning and execution of team events and initiatives, fostering a culture of celebration and belonging.
• Partner with our Finance Team on payroll information, processes, and information flow related to clients.
• Contribute to knowledge articles that are shared with clients and the public.

• A solid understanding of compliance within Canada, primarily in Ontario.
• Technologically proficient with an ability to learn new software and platforms with ease.
• Experience with BambooHR and/or other similar HR systems would be ideal.
• Experience administering Benefits, supporting open enrollment, and assisting employees with questions and resources.
