People Stewardship Student

About the Opportunity

Our company-wide People Stewardship team is searching for a student to join our team on a part-time, temporary basis (12-15 hours per week) for a four-month term, working out of our Kamloops or Calgary offices.

As a professional services consulting firm, the development of people is central to what we do. At Urban Systems, you’ll find we do things a little differently around here. You won’t find an HR department , but you will find a passionate and collaborative team dedicated to the stewardship of our people, their growth, and development across Urban. We like the language of "stewardship" because it embodies an ethic of care and trust, which is something we can get behind. As a small, highly integrated team, we contribute to and shape the employee experience throughout the employee lifecycle – from recruitment and onboarding, to learning and development, wellbeing, culture, employment law, privacy, culture, and benefits. If you are looking for the chance to spend the next few months getting exposed to all aspects of people development, keep reading!

We strive to create student opportunities that are exciting, challenging, and rewarding, and offer exposure to the multi-faceted nature of people stewardship. Our goal is for you to come away with new perspectives and an enhanced skill set that will serve you well in your career.
