Your core client group is engineering managers, along with new managers and team leads across the business. Your job is to build a culture where coaching drives performance and where people feel it in their day-to-day experience at Vantage. You model the leadership you coach. You give managers candid advice, earn trust through sound judgment and follow-through, and hold leaders accountable for how they lead.\nThis is a hands-on business partner role. You’ll coach managers through difficult conversations, run performance cycles that focus on growth as much as evaluation and handle employee relations from first concern to resolution. You will lead projects that shape how we define and measure great work and use onboarding, exit interviews and people data to keep improving the employee experience. You’ll also advise on employment compliance across Canada, the US and the UK, support compensation planning, and help build fair, consistently applied policies.\nKey Responsibilities\nBusiness Partnering & Manager Coaching\nBe the primary people partner for employees, people leaders and team leads across the business.\n\nEquip managers to drive high performance through clear goals, ongoing feedback and real accountability, so great work gets recognized and issues get fixed early.\n\nBuild manager habits that drive a culture of performance: setting clear goals, coaching in the moment, recognizing top performers, and acting quickly when performance slips.\n\nAdvise on and manage employee relations matters, including performance improvement plans, written warnings, and terminations.\n\nHelp design and launch a leadership training program for new and developing managers.\n\nPerformance Management\nRun the 90-day and Annual Review processes for your client groups, from manager preparation through to follow-up.\n\nHelp define our competencies and what great work looks like at Vantage, and build them into how we measure performance.\n\nBuild career planning frameworks that give employees a clear view of how they can grow here.\n\nOwn ER cases from first concern to resolution, including investigations into harassment and misconduct complaints.\n\nManage accommodations and leaves across jurisdictions with our Payroll and Benefits Specialist.\n\nEscalate and partner with the Head of People on higher-risk matters.\n\nPrograms, Policy & Compliance\nRefine People reporting so leaders have the data they need to make decisions.\n\nCreate company content that explains our people programs, policies, and changes.\n\nOwn the multi-jurisdiction handbook and support policy rollouts and manager training.\n\nPrepare offer, promotion and merit recommendations using market data and our compensation philosophy.\n\nAdvise on employment standards across Ontario, BC, Alberta, the US (including California) and the UK through our EOR.\n\nEmployee Experience\nOwn and improve onboarding and exit interviews to improve the employee experience and lifecycle.\n\nSupport company events and initiatives, including in-person days, recruiting events, company retreats, and employee resource groups.\n\nSkills & Qualifications\n5 to 7 years of experience in an HR Business Partner role.\n\nExperience at a scaling SaaS or technology company including experience partnering with engineering teams.\n\nHands-on ER experience, including investigations, PIPs and terminations.\n\nStrong knowledge of performance management, competency frameworks.\n\nSound judgment, discretion with confidential information, and the confidence to give leaders direct coaching and feedback.\n\nOntario employment law knowledge; US/California exposure is an asset.\n\nExperience with comp planning or pay equity.\n\nNice to have: PEO/EOR experience and CHRP/CHRL are assets.\n\nAbout Vantage\nVantage is the first unified platform purpose-built for retail media orchestration, empowering enterprise retailers to seamlessly activate onsite, offsite, and in-store advertising.
