- Experienced HR generalist or HRBP with a track record in a fast-paced environment, ideally in tech or SaaS
- Strong working knowledge of BC employment law and HR best practices
- A natural relationship builder; people open up to you because they trust you
- As comfortable building a process from scratch as you are maintaining one that already exists
- Discreet, calm under pressure, and able to hold sensitive information with integrity
