Where Work Meets Adventure
The Human Resources Specialist is a key member of the centralized HR team supporting the VP Academic (VPA), VP Research & Innovation (VPRI), and Governance portfolios at UBC. Working in close partnership with HR Managers, HR Assistants and client departments, this role delivers operational HR advice and hands‑on support across a broad range of functions, including full‑cycle recruitment, job classification, compensation administration and collective agreement interpretation. The HR Specialist serves as a trusted resource for managers and staff navigating the full range of employment matters from performance management and accommodation to onboarding and HR systems. The position operates within a complex, unionised environment and requires the ability to exercise sound independent judgement while knowing when to refer more sensitive or complex matters to HR Managers.
