Kano ( www.kanoapps.com ) is looking for an HR and Office Administrator to support our growing team and ensure a tightly run ship. This position is open to either part-time or full-time hours.
The first goal of this position will be to manage our beautiful new office, as well as support our existing team. You will be working with the People Ops team to help plan events, as well as maintain and improve daily processes.

Our team will continue to work in a hybrid environment, and this role will help support that. While we are very flexible in terms of scheduling, this specific position will have an in-office requirement and thus preference will be given to candidates who are willing to work Monday - Friday at our downtown Victoria office.

- Identify and mitigate points of friction in day to day business procedures
- Event management support. You’ll be responsible for supporting and coordinating events both great and small (lunches, parties, team off-sites, etc) with our Admin Coordinator
- Be the main point of contact for our team; thus you must be g reat at communication - across teams, departments and up the chain
- Take over and run our OHS committee
- Understand and uphold our company culture and the values of our organization!
Within your first year...
- Help with hiring and recruitment (screening resumes, applicants etc.)
- Own Onboarding: the key point of contact and responsible for onboarding of all new staff
- Offer Performance Management support
