About The Position

Maple's purpose is to meet the world's healthcare needs. We're Canada's leading on-demand healthcare platform, connecting patients with Canadian-licensed doctors, nurse practitioners and specialists. Today, we're proud that over 8 million patients and 7,000 businesses and government partners have access to same-day, proactive and ongoing care.

We empower bold thinking, surround you with an inspiring team and are driven by a motivating purpose. Here, you'll do work that changes lives — including your own. We're hiring a Senior Manager, People & Culture to join our small, high-performing People and Culture team.

This is a builder-doer role. You'll partner closely with functional leaders as a strategic HR advisor, and lead and execute programs that shape the everyday employee experience. You'll also coach members of the wider P&C team, helping them grow while strengthening the operational foundations we all rely on.
