About The Position

Welcome to TELUS Digital — where innovation drives impact at a global scale. As an award-winning digital product consultancy and the digital division of TELUS, one of Canada's largest telecommunications providers, we design and deliver transformative customer experiences through cutting-edge technology, agile thinking, and a people-first culture. In January 2023, TELUS Digital acquired WillowTree, creating a combined firm with service offerings spanning Customer Experience and Digital Solutions. With a global team across North America, South America, Central America, Europe, and APAC, we offer end-to-end expertise across eight core service areas: Digital Product Consulting, Digital Marketing Services, Data & AI, Strategy Consulting, Business Operations Modernization, Enterprise Applications, Cloud Engineering, and QA & Test Engineering. From mobile apps and websites to voice UI, chatbots, AI, customer service, and in-store solutions, TELUS Digital enables seamless, trusted, and digitally powered experiences that meet customers wherever they are — all backed by the secure infrastructure and scale of our multi-billion-dollar parent company. Our HR Business Partner (HRBP) is an integral part of our team at TELUS Digital. To help retain our deep culture of collaboration, this role will maintain an in-office presence in a hybrid capacity (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays) from our Columbus, OH; Durham, NC; or Charlottesville, VA office. This opportunity is a true builder/creator type role. If that energizes you, apply! We are at a unique crossroads as a firm, and we need a functional HR Business Partner to take full advantage of the opportunity ahead of us by driving our people strategy for our global and evolving consulting firm. To achieve this, you will partner closely with our senior leaders across our firm who are passionate about their craft and their teams. This will allow you to influence leadership decisions, help foster employee development, and enhance organizational effectiveness.
