People Generalist, Rentman

• You have 2+ years of experience in an HR Coordinator, HR Generalist, or People Operations role
• You have a working knowledge of Ontario employment standards, enough to recognise when something needs to go to Legal or Payroll
• You’re available to work on site in Toronto 3 days a week (up to 24 hours per week)
• You’re fluent in written and spoken English and comfortable working with an international team across time zones
• You’re confident with AI tools, use them in your daily work, and are curious about how they can make HR processes smarter
• You’re flexible and welcome change, adapting easily as the role and the company evolve
• You’re a self-starter who knows where the line is: you act independently within agreed frameworks and escalate on time, with the facts ready

• You enjoy being part of one team, even when your teammates are six hours ahead

Desirable

• Our Toronto office is growing, and it’s ready for its own on-site People presence. As our People Generalist, working on-site three days a week, you’re the connector between our Toronto office and our HQ in Utrecht (NL), making sure Toronto always feels part of one Rentman, and not an afterthought
• As the local point of contact for the People team, you bring People priorities and programmes to life in Toronto, so every cycle runs on time and teammates know where to go with their questions. Keeping a close eye on how people are doing, you pick up early signals on engagement. Every transition, whether someone is joining or moving on, is handled smoothly and with care. And the office runs well day to day, ready for a growing team
• People processes and Canadian compliance are coordinated from HQ. You carry them out locally, keep HQ informed of what’s happening on the ground and bring the Toronto perspective back to Utrecht, so communication flows both ways
• It’s a role for someone who is warm and approachable on the floor, structured behind the scenes, and comfortable working independently as part of a team on another continent. It combines hands-on office operations with real People work, with the chance to explore different areas of People along the way
• Be the first point of contact for People questions in Toronto, responding quickly and routing policy, legal, and payroll topics to the right owner in Utrecht
• Bring People programmes to life locally, such as our engagement survey, Culture Talks, and learning initiatives

• Spot early signals on engagement, wellbeing, and fit, and share them with the right manager and People partner
• Keep both offices connected by translating company and People updates to the Toronto context and sharing a monthly Toronto update with HQ
