Are you tired of the "same old, same old"? Are you looking for an opportunity to propel your career in a forward- looking, service-oriented organization? Are you simply ready for something, and somewhere new? As Manager of Human Resources for the City, your role will be far from one-dimensional. From health and safety to talent management, from training and development to HR analytics, from classification to labour relations, you and your team will be the City's go-to advisors.

As Manager of Human Resources, you will coordinate the City's human resource management, safety, and engagement activities by providing strategic and expert advice, leadership, direction, and services across all departments, to employees and management. In accordance with prevailing legislation, agreements, and policies, you will deliver programs and implement best practices in the areas of talent management, organizational planning and job design, health and safety, policy development, compensation and benefits, classification, employee, and labour relations, learning and development, and performance management. As the role will have a high degree of autonomy and be empowered to make decisions and act, it will be imperative the successful candidate can demonstrate the highest level of professionalism, ethics, confidentiality, discretion, and integrity.

Hallmarks of success of this role will be the delivery of the full range of people management activities including the creation and evolution of human resource policies, programs and systems that will build an organizational culture predicated on respect, equity, diversity, inclusion, collaboration, communication, and excellence.

Ideally, you will have post-secondary education in Human Resources Management complemented by a CPHR or CHRL designation. You have a minimum of five (5) years' related experience working in a unionized environment with demonstrable progressive supervisory, operational and policy development responsibility. You are skilled in the domains of:

• industrial relations;
• health, safety, and wellness programs;
• training and development;
• talent management, including recruitment, leadership enhancement, succession planning, retention, engagement, and rewards and recognition;
• classification and compensation;
• HR analytics;
• payroll and benefits administration; and
• employee counselling.

People are our most important resource and pivotal to our success both as an organization and a community. If you are up for the challenge, we would love to hear from you!
