Who- the Company:

Our client is a purpose-driven retail company committed to making a positive impact and providing their customers with affordable, high-quality products. The company operates in many countries around the world and is in hyper-growth mode here in Canada. The company is values-based and has built a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive work culture.
 

What- the Role:

On behalf of our client, SWIM is recruiting for a new Senior HR Business Partner who will deliver proactive, high-quality HR support across Canada, helping retail leaders focus on performance, growth, and the success of their franchise partnership model. This role blends strategic leadership and hands-on HR expertise—driving talent management, employee relations, organizational effectiveness, and the implementation of people-focused initiatives that align with the company’s goals. Success depends on building trusted relationships, influencing leaders, and creating efficient, scalable HR processes that enhance the employee experience and partner experience.

• Partner with retail and field leadership teams across Canada to deliver effective people strategies that strengthen store performance and leadership capability.
• Provide coaching and guidance to franchise partners and leaders, fostering accountability, engagement, and a culture of continuous improvement.

SWIM will provide interested candidates with a detailed job description.
 

Who- the Candidate:

We are seeking candidates who are down-to-earth, friendly, and confident in their skills and abilities. A sense of humour is paramount in this fun-loving culture, as is the ability to stay calm under pressure. Candidates well-suited to this company will be self-motivated and enthusiastic, with the drive to make the work experience better for the diverse stakeholders they support.

• Minimum of 7 years’ progressive experience in human resources, including a least a few years in human resources business partnering.
• Experience in the retail sector is highly preferred, although not necessarily for someone who is well-suited to working in a fast-paced, high change, and dynamic industry.
• Experience working for a business with a franchise, joint venture, or partnership business model is a significant asset- but again, not required. We are looking for someone who can quickly learn the nuances and complexities of this model!
• Well-rounded HR experience spanning employee relations, talent development, L&D, total rewards, organisational development, etc.
• Experience working for a large and matrixed/multi-entity/multi-regional company with a Centre of Excellence model and partnering with peers who specialize in certain areas of HR is preferred. 
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) are very important in this interactive role involving collaboration with colleagues across various departments and geographic regions.

How Much:

Base salary commensurate with HR experience, qualifications, and skills, in the range of $105,000 to $125,000. The total compensation package at this company is very robust and includes…

• Bonus program (tied to individual performance metrics).
• Profit share program (tied to overall company profitability targets).
• 4 weeks paid time off / vacation.
• Comprehensive benefits package – dental benefits, health benefits, vision benefits.
• Annual health allowance.
• RRSP match.
• Professional development support, if relevant and approved (for example, for CPHR designations).

Where:

HYBRID. The corporate office is in Greater Vancouver, right off a Highway. Free employee parking is provided. Initial training will likely be full-time in office, and after that the Senior HRBP can start to work from home 2 days/week. This employer believes in give and take… on occasion the Senior HRBP will start their workday early to cross-over with other time zones, and on other days maybe the employee finishes work early for a personal appointment or engagement. This is not a micro-management or clock-watching culture, the company trusts their employees to manage their own time, get the work done and hit their deadlines. This company has built a vibrant culture here in Canada, and it’s an exciting time to be in the office to form meaningful business relationships with colleagues from all around the world.
