We have an existing vacancy in our HR Compliance team, a specialized group focused on employment legislation analysis and interpretation. This team uses HR compliance expertise to track employment-related legislative changes and translate them into clear, practical guidance for employers. They also review content created by others for legislative accuracy, HR best practices, and established company standards. This is not a generalist HR role and is best suited to individuals with experience in HR compliance, employment law, or labour relations.

• Interpret legislative changes to determine required updates to existing HR compliance content or the need for current content.
• Translate complex legislative and regulatory requirements into clear, employer-focused guidance.
• Draft, update, and maintain HR compliance content including policies, templates, letters, forms, and news updates.
• Conduct maintenance reviews of existing content to ensure ongoing legislative accuracy and compliance across jurisdictions.
• Apply established legislative interpretation standards and content creation guidelines consistently.
• Review new or updated HR and compliance content created by others for legislative accuracy, risk alignment, and clarity, in alignment with established company standards.

• Review compliance content created by others, ensuring legislative accuracy, clarity and alignment with established standards, and continuously look for ways to improve quality and ease of use.
• Be confident interpreting legislation updates and applying them to real workplace scenarios.
• Apply strong judgement and be comfortable making interpretive decisions where legislation may be ambiguous or evolving.
• Leverage modern tools and technologies, including AI, to support research, content development, and efficiency, while maintaining accountability for accuracy and interpretation.
• Work independently, manage priorities effectively, and collaborate with internal teams by supporting compliance inquiries, escalations and cross‑functional initiatives.
• Understand the boundaries of the role, providing compliance guidance without offering legal advice, while supporting and mentoring peers when appropriate.

This Canada‑based role sits within a business that forms part of the global Citation Group — an international organization operating across multiple countries.
