Job Description
The PUR Company is the fastest-growing gum and mint brand in North America. We’re the #1 selling gum on Amazon and are rapidly expanding our retail presence across the continent. Our growth is driven by products that meet the needs of today’s consumers: aspartame-free, sugar-free, and made with all-natural ingredients without compromising the chewing experience.
We’re a team of entrepreneurial thinkers with a relentless drive to get things done - passionate about what we do and our mission: to bring you a better-for-you alternative to the chewing gum industry.
This role sits at the intersection of HR and Culture. On any given day, you might be running a recruiting process, sorting out a benefits question, planning a team event, or working through something with no clear answer. That’s the job — and if that sounds energizing rather than exhausting, you’re probably the right person.
You’ll work directly alongside our Head of People \& Culture as a real partner — not just an executor. You’re AI-curious and actively using it. You’ll have context, trust, and room to make calls. You’ll also need tact, grit, and a genuine comfort with grey. We’re not looking for someone who waits for a playbook. We’re looking for someone who writes one.
Qualifications
- 5-8 years in a People Operations, HR Generalist, or People \& Culture role — CPG, FMCG, or a fast-moving consumer environment is a strong plus
- Solid working knowledge of Ontario employment law and ESA, you know what you know and you know when to ask
- A high-volume operator. You handle admin-heavy work without dropping the ball and without making it anyone else’s problem
- Tactful and people-smart. You read rooms, handle sensitive situations with care, and know when to escalate and when to just handle it
- Confident in managing ambiguity and building from scratch. Things shift fast here, and you don’t freeze when they do
- A genuine love of people and culture, not the LinkedIn version. You show up for the team, you remember names, and you care about the employee experience beyond the transactions
- AI-curious and actively using it. We use AI tools as a team, and we’re not slowing down. You don’t need to be an expert, but if it’s already in your workflow, that matters
- Available to be in the office 3 days a week, the days are flexible, but the presence matters
Nice to have:
- Experience with UKG Ready or a comparable HRIS
- CHRP completed or actively in progress
- Experience in planning and executing workplace events and culture programming
