A minimum of 5-7 years' of HR experience, including supervision of staff, is required, with a strong preference for those with experience in complex, multi-union environments. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in leading HR transformation, process improvement, and organizational change initiatives, as well as a deep commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism.
