Manager People & Culture
Bursting Silver Background
A 2-time Top 100 Best Workplaces in Canada and 4-time Great Place to Work® Certified company, Bursting Silver is a professional services company focused on delivering technical solutions to Canadian and US non-profits, including professional associations, unions, regulatory bodies and non-governmental agencies. Bursting Silver has staff across Canada and the United States, and we pride ourselves on our unique culture and having fun while we work! We look for team members who have a passion for people, technology, are driven by providing exceptional service, and love to find creative solutions to solve tough problems. Our people provide client support across AI products, web-based applications, IT strategy, mobile applications, business analysis, project management, data migrations, system upgrades and application support.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Manager, People & Culture to join our purpose-driven team on a permanent, full-time basis.
As the sole People & Culture representative, you will be the main point of contact for employee experience, people development and benefits, while providing support across our strategic people & talent initiatives. This role is ideal for candidates with an âHR/People Generalistâ background and a varied skillset, who relish the opportunity for growth and development. This is a hands-on People role â in the same week you might be updating time-off balances, coaching a Team Lead, and planning our company retreat.
Who We Are Looking For
- You are a people-first culture champion â you are the natural voice for our people
- You are the energy behind our celebrations, traditions, and the moments that make work fun

- You are an ambitious and accountable person â you can implement inventive solutions to solve tough problems
- You possess a continuous improvement mindset â you don't rest on your laurels and know that growth is not a checklist
- You are smart, agile, and driven â you can take an assignment head-on and run with it
- You know best practice is only best practice when it fits â you'd rather build the right solution for Bursting Silver than import a framework because a textbook said so
- You balance big-picture thinking with hands-on execution â you're as comfortable designing a program as you are running the day-to-day work behind it
- You are a strong communicator (English) with a friendly and helpful personality
- You are all about Team. Although we may not always be at the same place or working on the same project â we are always connected and communicating with one another to support each other. We leverage technology to the max
- You care â about our people, our clients, and your community. Giving back is such an important part of what we do
