• HR Operations & Compliance

You will help ensure compliance with Canadian employment law and applicable U.S. federal and state requirements. You will own HR policies, documentation, audit readiness, and support payroll-related employee data accuracy in partnership with accounting.

• Systems & Infrastructure
