The Role Senior Manager, HR & People to own the full employee lifecycle across a multi‑province, clinically‑driven organization. You will build and run the systems for recruitment, onboarding, performance, compliance, retention and culture that keep a fast‑growing healthcare company running well. This is a hands‑on builder role: you set strategy and also do the work, partnering closely with clinical leadership and the executive team.

What You’ll Do Talent acquisition & workforce planning: own end‑to‑end recruitment for clinical and corporate roles, build scalable, repeatable hiring pipelines, and reduce time‑to‑fill hard‑to‑source clinical roles across provinces. Onboarding, credentialing & compliance: design onboarding that gets clinicians productive and confident quickly in an embedded, on‑site model; coordinate credentialing, licensing and documentation requirements with clinical leadership and ensure HR practices comply with employment standards and healthcare/privacy regulations across Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec. Performance, retention & people operations: run performance review, feedback and development processes that work for a distributed workforce; develop retention strategies, manage compensation frameworks, benefits administration and HRIS/people systems; handle employee relations, conflict resolution and off‑boarding with care.

Culture & leadership: act as a trusted advisor to the COO, clinical leads and managers on people decisions; shape and protect company culture across geographies and across employee/contractor relationships; develop policies, handbooks and frameworks needed for scaling without adding unnecessary bureaucracy. What You Bring 4‑7+ years of progressive HR/people experience, including senior or leadership responsibility. Demonstrated experience building HR functions in a growth‑stage or scaling organization.

Strong working knowledge of Canadian employment law across multiple provinces; comfort navigating differing provincial standards. Experience in healthcare, multi‑site or distributed‑workforce environments strongly preferred. Track record recruiting and retaining specialized or licensed talent (clinical experience a major asset).

Familiarity with managing both employees and independent contractors. Excellent judgment, discretion and communication; ability to move between executive strategy and front‑line conversations in the same day. A builder’s mindset: pragmatic, hands‑on, and comfortable creating structure from scratch.
