We are seeking an experienced Human Resources Generalist to join a dynamic, fast‑paced team within a growing national organization in the food industry.
Reporting to the Executive Vice President, this role oversees a broad range of responsibilities across

  • Manage all related remittances, audits, and year‑end activities.
  • Administer benefits, reconcile invoices, and manage RRSP/DPSP programs.
Human Resources

  • Update and develop HR policies and procedures to support company culture and ensure legislative compliance.
  • Provide support in all areas of HR including recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, performance management, training & development, and terminations.
  • Lead the Health & Safety program and participate in Joint H&S Committee activities.
  • Oversee the annual Performance Management and Bonus Programs.

Office Services & Administration

  • Provide reception coverage: answering phones, greeting guests, managing mail/couriers, and maintaining office supplies.
  • Support building operations by coordinating with external vendors (cleaning, maintenance, snow removal, waste services, etc.).
  • Assist the accounting team with reconciliations, expenses (Concur), and annual audits.
  • Help maintain a positive, well‑functioning office environment—including weekly employee lunch coordination.


What You Bring

  • CHRP/CHRL designation (or in progress) is an asset.
  • 3-5 years of HR experience, ideally in an entrepreneurial or multi‑functional environment.
  • Intermediate skills in Microsoft Office.
  • Experience with HRIS/payroll systems.
  • Strong communication skills and a customer‑focused mindset.
  • Highly organized self‑starter who works well independently and manages multiple priorities effectively.
  • Proven ability to build collaborative, cross‑functional relationships.


Why You’ll Love This Role

  • A people‑focused, supportive team environment.
  • Opportunity to own the HR function and make a visible impact.
  • Variety in your day—no two days look the same.
  • Inclusive company culture with a commitment to equity and accessibility.
