The Opportunity

Our Human Resource Strategy and Execution team is looking to add a position in Calgary to support the Contingent Workforce Program Office, reporting to a Team Lead in Canada.

We are seeking an experienced Advisor who combines deep contingent workforce expertise with a strong execution mindset. This individual will serve as a trusted partner to hiring leaders, suppliers, and internal stakeholders, providing expert guidance on contingent workforce governance while supporting the day-to-day activities required to deliver a high-performing program.

The successful candidate will serve as a trusted advisor and subject matter expert, bringing the judgment and credibility to guide leaders through complex workforce, governance, and compliance matters. Equally important, they will be willing to roll up their sleeves and personally lead the operational activities required to deliver program outcomes, recognizing that excellence in execution is just as important as strategic insight.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex problems, working through ambiguity, building strong stakeholder relationships, and translating strategy into practical, effective execution.
