About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a well-established organization in the consumer goods and retail-adjacent manufacturing space to hire a Human Resources Generalist for a dynamic, hands-on contract opportunity. This role supports a busy HR Business Partner and plays a meaningful part in keeping people programs, systems, and day-to-day operations running smoothly during a period of internal transition.

In this people-facing role, you will work closely with leaders, employees, and external partners to deliver timely HR support across the employee lifecycle. You will be joining a collaborative corporate HR team where curiosity, efficiency, and personality matter just as much as technical capability. This is a great opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys variety, works confidently with systems and data, and brings positive energy to the workplace.

What’s in it for You

You will join a workplace that values strong culture, collaboration, and trust while gaining exposure to a broad range of HR activities within a larger, complex organization. You will work alongside experienced HR leaders who value initiative and autonomy, and you will receive competitive hourly compensation with a strong potential for contract extension based on performance.

Your Responsibilities

• You’ll support the HR Business Partner by maintaining HR reports, including workforce, compensation, and budget data.
• You’ll administer workforce changes in SAP and coordinate closely with payroll to ensure accuracy.
• You’ll act as a first point of contact for managers and employees on employee relations, performance management, recruitment, learning, and HR policy questions.
• You’ll prepare employment offers, official correspondence, and support disability management and exit interviews.
• You’ll manage recruitment operations by creating requisitions in the ATS, screening applications, coordinating agencies, and supporting onboarding and orientation.
• You’ll assist with training coordination, talent management activities, employee events, and internal communications.
• You’ll contribute to the review, development, and administration of HR policies, procedures, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Skills and Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of progressive HR experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates with slightly less experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Commerce, Business Administration, or Human Resources Management.
• Hands-on experience with HRIS platforms, including SAP and SuccessFactors.
• Strong knowledge of Canadian employment legislation and HR compliance requirements.
• Experience across recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, performance management, and training support.
• Strong data literacy, analytical thinking, and comfort working independently without heavy supervision.
• Confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills, professionalism, and a personable, engaging style.
• Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, with excellent organization and prioritization skills.
