About the role

Reporting to the People and Culture Manager, the People and Culture Coordinator supports the delivery of consistent and effective People and Culture services across the employee lifecycle, while also contributing to office-based activities.

This role provides broad coordination and support across the People and Culture function, contributing to the effective delivery of people initiatives, processes and services. Working closely with employees and the Corporate Services team, you will help ensure People and Culture activities are well coordinated, information is accurate and accessible, and support is delivered in a timely and professional manner. Beyond day-to-day coordination, you will have opportunities to contribute to workforce initiatives, employee engagement, learning and development, process improvement and the ongoing evolution of Callida’s People and Culture function.

About you
