Salus Technologies Inc Looking for Manager of People & Talent at Vancouver, BC Full Time

Who is SALUS?

For companies in the construction and labour industries, safety is mission critical. It touches every employee who sets foot on a job site, affecting culture and morale, project deliverables and timelines, profitability and reputation. It’s a highly complex ecosystem with countless requirements – all of which are government mandated and enforced. With the majority of companies still relying on paper forms and antiquated point solutions for documenting safety compliance, SALUS is poised to lead an epic evolution.

Our SaaS platform is built to mirror a multitude of existing safety workflows digitally, combining a web app for real-time monitoring of daily operations and powerful reporting capabilities, and a mobile app designed specifically for achieving the highest level of adoption amongst field-level workers.

SALUS is a well-funded, VC-backed startup with kickass culture, a solid customer base spanning North America and an insanely high retention rate. A small but mighty Vancouver-based operation poised for rapid growth, our next wave of expansion begins in Q1 2023 and we’re on the hunt for an experienced HR Manager with a knack for recruiting top talent and who’s eager to take the reins on a unique opportunity to build the people function at SALUS from the ground up.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (Vancouver), our Manager of People & Talent will act as a business partner to senior leaders, working together to identify issues and opportunities, and supporting talent strategies aligned with the business vision, mission, and goals.
