About the role

  • We’re looking for an HR Business Partner who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution
  • You’ll be the embedded People partner for our EPDD org — Engineering, Product, Design, and Data — bringing both advisory depth and operational excellence to a fast-moving team that expects a trusted partner who can keep up
  • If you’re energized by building trust with technical leaders, solving complex people challenges, and using AI to work smarter, this one’s for you
  • Strategic Partnership (~60%)
  • Serve as the dedicated HRBP for EPDD managers and senior managers — proactively building relationships, not just showing up in a crisis
  • Coach leaders through performance conversations, complex ER cases, and difficult people decisions with speed and good judgment
  • Partner on org health: use data to spot patterns, anticipate friction, and help leaders see around corners as we scale
  • Support performance management cycles end-to-end — feedback, documentation, PIPs, and exits when needed
  • Be an approachable and accessible partner for Homies across the team, when they need support or guidance on moments that matter in the employee lifecycle
  • Operational Excellence (~40%)
  • Own leave management for EPDD employees across Canada and the US — accurate, compliant, and handled with care
  • Support Canadian immigration cases, partnering with legal counsel and employees through the process
  • Be the team’s subject matter expert on Canadian employment law and market practices
  • Use AI to improve how you work — automate what can be automated, build what’s missing, streamline what’s slow
