People Operations Coordinator

The Opportunity

At Open Farm, we believe the way we work should be as thoughtful and purpose-driven as the food we make. As we continue our rapid growth and mission to Do Some Good® for animals and the planet, we're on the hunt for a People Operations Coordinator to grow with us. This is the person behind the scenes helping make Open Farm a place people want to work at- equal parts business smarts and genuine care for the humans doing the work. If you love the chaos of People Ops, thrive when you're juggling a dozen things at once, LOVE to learn, and rarely lose your cool, you might be exactly who we need.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

HR stuff:

• Helping run our wellness, benefits, performance, and recognition programs
• Supporting our RRSP and 401(k) administration
• Leading our Co-op/Summer Student recruitment (and managing the grant paperwork that comes with it)
• Coordinating interviews across departments - juggling calendars with hiring managers and panels
• Helping administer our health benefits
• Putting together reports and letters (headcount, employment confirmations, comp statements, travel letters - you name it)
• Owning our HRIS from top to bottom, making sure the data's clean and updated

People programs:

• Supporting the whole employee journey, onboarding through offboarding
• Supporting our employee survey program through CultureAmp
• Planning company events, like our monthly Town Halls
• Bringing fresh ideas to our programs and policies - we want you to make things better, not just keep them running
• Writing our People Ops newsletter and other employee comms
• Helping run Open Farm University

Office stuff:

• Keeping our office clean, safe, and welcoming for the team and visitors
• Managing our vendors (cleaning, maintenance, supplies - the whole list)
• Keeping supplies, snacks, and equipment stocked
• Setting new hires up for day one (desk, gear, access badge)
• Being the go-to person when something in the office needs fixing
• Helping keep us compliant on health and safety

What You Bring To The Table:

• A love of pets (this one's non-negotiable)
• Real empathy and strong people skills
• You're proactive - you don't wait to be told what to do
• You're comfortable when things are a little messy or unclear
• You take ownership and follow through
• You can juggle a lot of people and priorities without dropping the ball
• You know how to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion
• You pick up new systems and tools quickly (HRIS, CultureAmp, scheduling platforms, etc.)
• You've got an eye for detail, especially when it comes to data accuracy and compliance
• You're happy wearing a lot of hats and shifting gears throughout the day
• You care about company culture and the employee experience - not just the admin side of HR
• Bonus points if you've got experience with both Canadian and US HR practices, since our team spans both

What We Offer You

• An opportunity to grow, develop, and thrive within a mission-driven, dynamic, and fast-growing company alongside thoughtful and passionate individuals.
• Competitive compensation and a full suite of benefits, including a monthly pet feeding program for someone who loves to keep their pet well-fed year-round.
• Great office culture (with numerous adorable pets!) where your pet interrupting a video call or meeting is the norm.
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage and RRSP plans with company match.
• Discounted food, apparel, and insurance for your furry family members.
• PTO plus company-wide wellness and personal days to support your well-being.
• Volunteer days to give back to our community.

This role requires candidates to be available to work on-site a minimum of 4 days per week.
