HR Manager, Compensation

Well-rounded role managing compensation strategy and programs. Working with a not-for-profit organization that is doing important work in BC communities and that is growing quickly. Reporting into a fantastic boss and mentor. Good work life balance, great benefits, hybrid work schedule (working up to 3 days/week at home). Based in Surrey. Seeking candidates who have worked in government, public sector, and/or not-for-profit/NPO.

Who- the Company: 
Our client is a not-for-profit values-based organization that provides essential programs and services to the communities they support. The organization is currently over 300 employees plus a Board of Directors, with a growing HR department.

What- the Role:
Manager, Compensation. This is a very well-rounded role managing compensation strategy, compensation & data analysis, job evaluations/classifications, recognition programs, pay-for-performance programs, organizational design, performance management systems, compensation reporting, etc.
Reporting into a senior HR leader and collaborating with an overall HR & Payroll team of 12+ people.
The new Manager will take ownership for compensation strategy, management of compensation programs, development of recognition programs, contributing to goal setting & performance management systems, supporting organisational design, etc. SWIM will provide interested candidates with a thorough job description.

Who- the Candidate:
We are looking for an individual with at least 5 years of progressive human resources work experience, with a focus on compensation, including experience with role evaluation, job descriptions and reclassifications, pay-for-performance bonus programs, recognition programs, performance management systems, etc. Experience working in a relevant sector is highly preferred- i.e. Government, NPO, and/or public sector- preferably supporting an employee population of at least 300 people. Some form of HR education is required (a degree, certificate, diploma, CPHR designation, etc.), and CCP (Certified Compensation Professional) is particularly desirable for this role. Experience using an HRIS is important and we are looking for candidates who are confident using technology. Proficiency in Excel is important for Excel-based compensation analysis work. Candidates will have a friendly, clear, and professional communication style, and will have a caring and compassionate approach.

How Much:
Base salary is commensurate with skills, experience, and education related to HR and compensation, likely in the range of $80,000 to $96,000. Please note that although the base salary is not super high, the overall compensation package is very generous-  the new Manager will be on a Pension Plan, will receive a competitive amount of paid time off (vacation days, personal days, sick days, extra time off in late December), and will also get PD support, excellent health & dental benefits (100% employer paid), and a small transit subsidy. Additionally, this organization works on a 37.5 hour work week and someone who is very hardworking, efficient and productive should be able to achieve very good work/life balance in this position.

HYBRID. The company is headquartered in Surrey, very close to a Skytrain station. There is parking nearby. Initially the Manager of Compensation will work from the office 3-4 days a week as they are getting training and onboarding. Longer term, the person in this role can start to work from home 3 days a week on average (some weeks it may be as many as 4 WFH days a week, some it may only be 1 or 2 WFH days a week… it depends on what is going on at the office, team meetings, projects, etc.)
