HR Business Partner Senior (AI & Transformation

Human Resources Business Partner

Custom Store Fixture Manufacturing
• Montreal

About Us

We’re a leading manufacturer of custom store fixtures, serving some of North America’s most recognized retail brands. Our environment is fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and collaborative, and we pride ourselves on building strong teams and high-quality work that brings retail experiences to life.

The Role

We’re looking for a hands-on, strategic, people-first HR Business Partner. You’ll lead recruitment, coaching, payroll, benefits, and health & safety — and help modernize how we work through AI, automation, and smarter workflows.

This is a genuinely AI-forward seat. You’ll inherit working tools (including an AI-assisted screening pipeline) and partner with our internal AI specialist to build more, so a builder’s mindset matters as much as HR depth. You’ll be a trusted partner to leadership and a driver of both people strategy and operational transformation as we grow.

What You’ll Own

• Full-cycle recruitment across production, technical, administrative, and leadership roles — with AI helping you screen, shortlist, and post in both languages
• Onboarding and early engagement, plus coaching and mentoring for managers and new people leaders
• HR strategy and culture: aligning initiatives to business goals, supporting succession planning, and leading change tied to our growth and EOS rollout
• HR operations: payroll, benefits, records, and compliance — with automation taking the routine work off your plate
• Health, safety, and compliance (CNESST): training, incident reporting, and claims, with bilingual safety content kept current through AI

What You Bring

• 10+ years of HR experience, ideally in manufacturing, production, or construction
• Strong recruitment, coaching, and program-development background
• Hands-on with AI, automation, or process improvement — someone who builds and improves tools, not just talks about them
• Solid grounding in employment law, payroll, and health & safety
• Bilingual (English/French) is a strong asset
• Comfortable in Excel and quick to pick up new systems
• Entrepreneurial, action-oriented, and able to work both autonomously and as part of a team

Salary upon experience.

AI & Process Transformation (Core Focus)

• Identify opportunities to leverage AI and automation across HR workflows

• Advocate for tech-enabled ways of working and drive adoption
• Collaborate with IT and external partners to implement new solutions
• 10+ years of HR experience, ideally in a manufacturing, production, or construction-related environment
  
  • Proven strength in recruitment, coaching, and HR program development
  
  • Solid knowledge of employment laws, payroll systems, and health & safety regulations
  
  • Bilingual (English/French) is an asset
  
  • Proficient in MS Office (especially Excel) and comfortable learning new systems
  
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias for action and a strong sense of urgency
  
  • Ability to work autonomously and as part of a dynamic, cross-functional team
