Behavox is building a data operating platform that helps multinational enterprises organize and act on their data for risk management, compliance, revenue optimization, and business growth. The company combines AI/ML-based solutions with enterprise data aggregation and analysis across multiple functions. The Senior HR Business Partner is an individual contributor responsible for partnering with US and Canada business leaders to execute people strategies that support organizational performance and growth. Reporting to the Principal HR Business Partner, this role applies strong business acumen and HR expertise to advise leaders on workforce planning, performance management, employee relations, and organizational effectiveness across the US and Canada territory. Key responsibilities include: - Providing sound, commercially informed HR guidance to leaders on moderate-to-complex workforce and talent challenges within the US and Canada client group - Managing moderate-to-complex employee relations cases end-to-end within US and Canada employment frameworks, balancing legal compliance, business priorities, and employee experience - Delivering and locally adapting HR programs (performance cycles, workforce planning inputs, career development processes) for the client group in line with enterprise standards - Supporting workforce planning, organizational design, and post-merger workforce integration workstreams for the client group - Interpreting workforce data and people metrics to identify trends and inform recommendations to leaders, including during periods of increased organizational scrutiny (audit readiness, compliance program maturation, scale-up or pre-exit periods) - Applying compensation data and benchmarking to support pay recommendations, offer construction, and pay equity considerations - Independently managing moderate-to-complex employee relations matters, escalating matters of significant complexity, cross-jurisdictional exposure, or elevated organizational risk to the Principal HR Business Partner - Supporting the Principal HR Business Partner on workforce matters outside the US and Canada as the function's footprint grows During the initial phase, the role operates under close coaching from the Principal HR Business Partner while building full ownership of the client group; oversight reduces as competence is demonstrated. The role is hybrid with 1 day per week in the Toronto office. Behavox offers 30 days of annual time off plus public holidays and sick leave, competitive cash compensation, equity awards, and comprehensive health insurance. REQUIREMENTS: - Working knowledge of US and Canadian employment legislation and regulatory frameworks, with ability to independently manage moderate-to-complex employee relations matters within those jurisdictions - HR Business Partnering expertise: ability to apply working knowledge of business priorities and workforce needs to align people initiatives with business objectives and provide trusted advisory support to leaders and managers at all levels - Workforce Planning and Organizational Support: ability to apply workforce planning methodologies and organizational design principles to support headcount planning, org changes, and business effectiveness - Talent Management and Performance: knowledge of performance management, career development, and talent process to support capability development - People Analytics: ability to use workforce metrics, organizational data, and HRIS-derived reporting to evaluate trends and support evidence-based decisions - Working knowledge of employment fundamentals in other jurisdictions (UK, EMEA, APAC) is desirable, as the role may support the wider HR Business Partner team outside its core territory
