POSITION SUMMARY

The P&C Business Partner – Canada serves as the primary People & Culture partner for employees across multiple business functions and provinces within Canada. This position acts as the primary trusted advisor to employees and leaders while ensuring compliance with Canadian employment legislation and providing strategic and operational P&C leadership while partnering closely with North American Centers of Excellence (COEs) in Compensation & Benefits, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Payroll, and P&C Operations.
