Director of People | Jarvis | [Toronto/ Hybrid]

Want to lead the People function at a company whose mission is equalizing prospect?

Jarvis is a Technology Advisory & Talent Solutions firm that brings brilliant minds together to build world-class technology. We hire for potential, and we invest in people who larger organizations often overlook. Here, imagination and curiosity count as much as skill. Now we need a Director of People to lead the function that makes it all work.

This isn’t a “keep the lights on” HR role. You’ll own HR strategy end to end: building programs, automating what’s still manual and coaching our leaders. You’ll also stay close enough to handle the hard conversations yourself.

What you’ll own:

Strategy & programs

- Build and launch HR programs, policies and processes that move the business forward
- Lead internal workforce planning and headcount planning, including interview design, comp recommendations and approvals
- Streamline and automate the employee lifecycle: onboarding, offboarding, and comp and org changes

Employee relations & leadership

- Be the trusted advisor to managers and employees on policy, conflict and tough calls
- Own all HR escalations, terminations and disciplinary matters
- Keep us compliant with labour law in every location we operate

Total rewards

- Maintain our pay bands and pay equity,



and level new roles with our job evaluation tool
- Own payroll across multiple streams in partnership with Finance
- Manage contracts for internal staff and consultants

Culture & inclusion

- Grow an inclusive culture that lives our mission and drives engagement and retention
- Lead DEI strategy and programs
- Drive internal and external community engagement

What you bring

- 7–10+ years of progressive HR experience, including 3–4+ years in leadership
- Deep knowledge of HR best practice, employment law and organizational development
- Prior experience working for a consulting firm (or similar industries)
- A track record as an HR business partner who coaches senior leaders
- The ability to drive change through complex organizational dynamics
- Experience negotiating contracts and compensation
- HRIS and ATS experience (we use HiBob)
- A bachelor’s degree in HR, Business or a related field

Bonus points

- CHRP or CHRL
- Bilingual in English and French

Why Jarvis?

- Room to shape the People function and put your stamp on it
- A mission you’ll see in every hire we make
- A team that values curiosity as much as credentials

This is a permanent role, hybrid with 2-3 days/week on site in downtown Toronto.
