Role
Who you are
- Alignment with our Core Values
- 7–12 years of HR or People Operations experience, with 2–3 years owning end-to-end programs in scaling or high-growth SaaS or technology-driven environments (in-house work at a SaaS company is a must)
- Demonstrated ability to influence executive decision-making with clarity, data, and sound judgment
- Strong track record of recruiting high-quality technical and non-technical talent and building and maintaining a strong network of top talent
- Operational strength, with the ability to build smart systems, create clarity, and move fast
- Demonstrated strategic thinking, translating people initiatives into business outcomes (renewals, pipeline, quality, scalability)
- Proven track record of resource planning & advocacy, including building business cases that led to additional headcount or budget
- Deep understanding of Canadian employment law (U.S. knowledge is a strong plus)
- Hands-on experience with HR analytics and tech (e.g. Lattice, Greenhouse/Ashby, OpenComp/Radford) and owning SLA/KPI reporting
- Excellent written and verbal communication: concise, data-driven, and tailored to senior audiences
- Nice-to-Haves: Experience in M&A integration or supporting post-merger people initiatives and experience managing and mentoring a small team or direct reports
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a People & Culture Manager to own and scale Cardata’s core people initiatives— growth and development, performance management, total rewards, manager enablement, employee experience, and talent acquisition—through a strategic, business-aligned lens
- This is a hands-on, high-impact role that blends program leadership with resource planning and advocacy
- You’ll partner closely with Finance, Marketing, Sales, Product and Engineering leaders, ensuring our people programs drive measurable business outcomes during a period of rapid growth and major product launches
- End-to-end ownership of growth and development, performance management, total rewards, and manager enablement initiatives
- Translate programs into impact by defining clear success metrics (e.g. time-to-fill, retention, employee NPS) and reporting on SLAs and KPIs
- Drive continuous improvement by proactively identifying gaps, recommending solutions, and iterating based on frontline feedback
- Partner with managers to track team capacity, identify bottlenecks and develop models to predict resourcing requirements
- Partner with Finance on compensation, budgeting and headcount modelling that deliver clear ROI to the business
- Oversee recruitment ops in partnership with hiring managers, focusing on speed, quality, and values alignment
- Advise with confidence on employment law, policy interpretation, and risk, ensuring compliance without bureaucracy
- Build frameworks and coach managers to make informed, equitable, and performance-aligned pay decisions
- Serve as a trusted advisor to managers—tailoring communication, providing clear recommendations, and offering tough-love coaching
- Shape and reinforce Cardata’s employee experience through no-fluff frameworks around clarity, fairness, enablement, trust, and growth
Our take
Though it was founded in 1999, Cardata’s products are more important than ever. Amidst international moves towards hybrid work set ups and a more intense focus on electric vehicles and carbon reduction, the daily commute has become a real sticking point for companies negotiating with their employees.
Cardata’s suite of reimbursement software, compliance programs and business intelligence tools help companies manage the personal vehicles of their employees. Its tools include IRS compliant tax-free car allowances, GPS tracking, and payment streamlining tools that help companies better manage their employees' travel, all without having to invest in a corporate car fleet.
Cardata has clearly evolved with the times and enjoyed a tripling of annual recurring growth since its new leadership team stepped in. It also received $100 million in growth equity in 2023, which is being put towards new and existing product innovation, and the increase of market coverage.
