DistillerSR is an AI-enabled workflow automation and evidence management platform for scientific research, used by 80% of the top 10 global medical device and pharmaceutical companies. The company is seeking a Senior HR Specialist to report directly to the Vice President of Human Resources and serve as a key generalist supporting all stages of the employee lifecycle.
In this role, you will act as a people champion—not a policy enforcer—driving hiring, culture, engagement, and development initiatives as the company scales. Key responsibilities span four areas:
**Recruitment & Talent:** Lead end-to-end resourcing including needs analysis, sourcing, screening, and onboarding. Build and maintain a talent pipeline, manage campus and post-secondary liaisons for co-op programs, and own the talent component of employee onboarding.
**People & Culture:** Handle employee questions, feedback, and concerns with empathy, escalating as needed. Support the strategic Employee Experience & Culture Committee, participate in the Joint Health & Safety Committee, and contribute to employee engagement initiatives.
**HR Operations & Compliance:** Champion AI-enabled talent tools and processes, administer BambooHR, lead onboarding and offboarding, maintain HR policies for compliance with employment legislation (ESA, OHSA, Human Rights Code), and stay current on evolving talent best practices and legal requirements.
**Trusted Advisor & Compensation:** Build the talent brand as a business partner, support performance management and career development, analyze HR data for decision-making, and conduct salary analysis and market research to support recruitment and annual compensation reviews.
The role offers flexible work hours, benefits from day one, three weeks vacation, wellness reimbursement, professional development support, and career growth opportunities in a dynamic, innovative environment at Kanata North Tech Park.

- College or University degree, preferably in Human Resources, Social Sciences, or Business
