Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple competing priorities and meet strict deadlines.
Comfortable working independently in a remote environment with a high level of accountability.
Experience using case management systems and digital tools, including AI-enabled tools, is an asset.
Post-secondary education in Human Resources, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
Professional HR certification (CPHR, SPHR, or PHR) is considered an advantage.
