What You'll Be Doing
You'll support a broad range of People & Culture activities across our office based employees and Expedition Team, including:
- Coordinating onboarding, contracts, compliance documentation, and workforce administration.
- Being a first point of contact for employee and expedition team enquiries.

About You

You're comfortable juggling multiple priorities, building relationships across diverse teams, working in a fast paced and entrepreneurial environment, and finding ways to improve processes and experiences. You'll likely have experience working in a People & Culture, HR Coordination, People Operations, or workforce support role, and enjoy being the person who helps things run smoothly behind the scenes. Experience supporting a geographically dispersed workforce is highly regarded, and exposure to the travel, tourism, adventure, outdoor, maritime, or expedition sectors will be viewed favourably. Most importantly, you're passionate about creating a positive employee experience and helping bring people together around a shared purpose and culture.
We're Looking For Someone With:
- 3-5 years' experience in HR coordination, People Operations, workforce coordination, or a similar role.
