HR Business Partner

Who you are

• 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
• 4 – 7 years of progressive HR experience, with at least 1 year in a true HRBP role — not HR admin, not systems; we’re looking for impact through your business partnership
• Direct experience supporting EPDD or R&D teams is a major plus — engineers and PMs came to you
• Real advisory instincts: you've shaped decisions, not just supported them, through pattern recognition, data, insights, and strong instincts and influence
• Proven experience managing leave programs and immigration cases — you know the details and don't drop the ball
• Genuine AI fluency — you've built or improved a workflow with AI, measured the impact, and want to go further
• Strong Canadian & US employment law knowledge
• HRIS experience (Rippling preferred)
• Toronto-based and energized by in-person collaboration
• Be Customer Obsessed – Solve problems with empathy and creativity
• Move Fast, Learn Fast – Experiment, take action, and grow every day
• Own Your Impact – Think big, focus on what matters, and make decisions you stand behind
• Master Your Craft – Excellence fuels impact—show up, step up, and make your mark
• Win Together – Put goals over roles, lead with trust, and connect to our mission and each other
• Experience comes in many forms—so if you're excited about this role, even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications, we encourage you to apply!

What the job involves

• 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
• 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%):
• Be the team's subject matter expert on Canadian employment law and market practices
• Exceptional program management - you can identify, build, and deliver high-quality, impactful talent programs that solve a problem on the team
• Use AI to improve how you work — automate what can be automated, build what's missing, streamline what's slow
