Hi, Future Homie!
At Homebase, you’ll join a team that’s bold, fast-moving, and obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. We build with empathy, act with urgency, and take big swings that drive real-world impact. Here, every Homie shows up to raise the bar, support one another, and celebrate wins as a team.
We’re not just building an app—we’re building unstoppable teams. So what do you say, are you in?
📍Your Impact Starts Here
We’re looking for a Senior HR Generalist who’s passionate about building exceptional employee experiences and fueling a high-velocity, AI-first workplace. You’ll partner across the People Team to ensure smooth HR processes, compliance, and provide exceptional employee support by helping our Homies do their best work.
This role matters because our mission depends on unstoppable teams. You’ll shape policies, programs, and moments that reinforce The Homie Way, while experimenting with AI to retool HR workflows and unlock scale.
This role will partner closely with our technical functions, what we call “EPDD” (Engineering, Product, Design & Data), to support the programs and initiatives that elevate team performance, reinforce our culture and operating principles, and accelerate product delivery, quality, and customer impact.
These are the key ways you’ll contribute and create impact:
Own day-to-day HR operations, including onboarding, employee changes, and compliance administration.
Partner with managers and HRBPs to resolve employee relations issues with empathy, fairness, and speed, focusing primarily on the EPDD functions.
Support benefits, leave, and payroll administration with attention to accuracy and compliance, in particular for Canadian employees (knowledge of US-based requirements is a plus).
Implement and improve HR processes by using AI tools to increase velocity and reduce manual work.
Serve as the first point of contact for Homies’ HR questions, ensuring a high standard of care and responsiveness.
Collaborate on People programs like surveys, performance, L&D, and hybrid work enablement.
Deliver data-driven insights and reporting to support decision-making across the People team.
🚀 The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role:
2–4 years of progressive HR experience, ideally in a fast-moving, scaling environment.
Prior experience supporting or partnering with EPDD/R&D teams (Engineering, Product, Design, or Data/AI) in a scaling or high-velocity environment.
Strong knowledge of HR policies, compliance requirements, and employee relations best practices.
Experience with HRIS systems (Rippling preferred) and comfort learning new tools quickly.
Knowledge of Canadian immigration and relocation programs (additional working knowledge of US immigration is ideal)
Demonstrated ability to experiment with and adopt AI tools to improve HR processes (e.g., automation of FAQs, analytics, policy drafting).
Strong organizational and problem-solving skills with a bias to action.
Exceptional interpersonal skills—able to build trust with employees at all levels.
Ability to collaborate in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday, with additional presence as designated by your HRBP and People Team leadership.
🤝 The Homie Way - These principles guide everything we do—from how we work and make decisions to how we show up for each other.
💡 Be Customer Obsessed – Solve problems with empathy and creativity.
⚡ Move Fast, Learn Fast – Experiment, take action, and grow every day.
🎯 Own Your Impact – Think big, focus on what matters, and make decisions you stand behind.
🏆 Master Your Craft – Excellence fuels impact—show up, step up, and make your mark.
🏅 Win Together – Put goals over roles, lead with trust, and connect to our mission and each other.
