People & Culture Generalist

Join Ava Industries, where we're revolutionizing healthcare with our cutting-edge cloud-based EMR software. We are seeking an experienced and passionate People & Culture Generalist.

Who We Are

At Ava, we are revolutionizing how doctors and healthcare providers interact with their patients.  By applying modern solutions, novel communication tools, and an industry-leading approach to customer care, our organization has quickly become the fastest growing Electronic Medical Record (EMR) company in Canada.  We believe technical innovation can solve the most complex workflow problems in healthcare, and restore joy to the practice of medicine.  We are building a team that reflects our values of innovative, transparent, and fast-paced solutions for our clients.  Want to be challenged in a team that constantly innovates, grows, and values your input?  Don’t miss this opportunity!

Who We Are Looking For

Ava is growing quickly, and our people programs need to grow with us. We are looking for an intermediate People & Culture Generalist to take ownership of the programs that keep a fast-moving, remote-first company healthy: benefits, policy, engagement, training, and our B Corp certification. Reporting to the Director of Operations, you will partner directly with managers and executives across Ava. This role will suit a detail-oriented self-starter who can take a problem and run with it, and who believes People & Culture should enable the team to achieve its goals while managing risk.

What You’ll Do 

•  Shape total compensation strategy and run programs like salary benchmarking, ranges, job architecture, and employee stock options
• Design, deliver, and improve employee benefits, including health programs and Health Spending Accounts
• Draft and maintain people-first HR policies ensuring compliance with employment, health, and safety standards across operating provinces
• Manage Ava's B Corp recertification, coordinating company-wide stakeholders, evidence, and timelines
• Lead end-to-end People & Culture projects, covering planning, change management, communication, and adoption
• Develop and deliver training for employees and managers, spanning policy rollouts and skill development
• Administer BambooHR, maintain accurate employee records, and support the payroll function
• Serve as the primary, trusted contact for employee relations, handling sensitive matters with discretion
• Support company performance reviews and help managers coach and develop their teams
• Organize culture initiatives and engagement events to keep our remote team connected
• Partner with the Director of Operations, managers, and executives on company-wide people priorities

What You’ll Bring

Minimum qualifications

• A completed post-secondary degree with a major in Human Resources
• 3 to 5 years of progressive HR generalist experience
• Working knowledge of Alberta employment standards, with experience applying employment legislation in policies and day-to-day practice
• Experience administering employee benefit programs, ideally including designing or enhancing them
• Demonstrated success managing projects end to end, including stakeholder coordination and change management
• Experience drafting HR policies, employee communications, and training materials
• Hands-on experience administering an HRIS
• Exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to run independently and see work through to completion
• Based in Calgary, Alberta

Nice to have

• CPHR designation or active CPHR candidacy
• Experience with B Corp certification or similar accreditation and audit frameworks (for example ISO or Great Place to Work)
• BambooHR experience
• Experience supporting a fully remote, multi-provincial team
• Formal change management training (for example PROSCI)

Soft Skills

• Warm, approachable, and genuinely people-first; you build trust quickly at every level of the company
• Collaborative by default; you bring people along rather than working around them
• A clear, confident communicator in writing and in person, comfortable working with managers and executives
• Discretion and sound judgment with confidential and sensitive matters
• Organized and dependable, with strong follow-through on commitments
• An enabler mindset; you look for the path to yes while managing risk
