Working closely with the Payroll/HR team and colleagues, the new Director will ensure all HR and payroll duties are undertaken in accordance with employment law and company policy, ensuring any risk to the organization is minimized.

As BGCO strides onward with the 2019-2024 strategic plan, this important senior management position will also help strengthen Equity and Anti-Black Racism policies and practices, a key priority for the organization.

The new Director, People and Culture will be based at BCGO’s Ron Kolbus clubhouse in Ottawa.
