Director P&C Business Partner, TELUS Health Solutions

Join our team and what we'll accomplish together

At TELUS, we’re looking for bright people who like solving big problems. As part of the People & Culture (P&C) team, you tackle all kinds of challenges. We are not your standard HR team. We embrace discomfort and have fun doing it. We’re just as passionate about our team as we are about our customers and share an unyielding dedication to ensuring success for all.

Here’s what we believe

• We are ONE team, collaborating across all teams within P&C
• Everything we do is tied to the business, not dictated by rules or policies
• We challenge the status quo, and when others think we’re done, we make it even better
• We live up to our commitments, to ourselves, family, friends, peers, leaders and our customers
• Our success is all about how we do things, how we think, solve problems, deliver, communicate, and more

Here’s the impact you’ll make and what we’ll accomplish together

As the Director of P&C Business Partner, you wear several hats: trusted advisor, consultant, coach, and a people leader to a small team of Human Resources (HR) professionals. You sit alongside and collaborate with the business units to develop and implement strategies that support people and organizational needs in addition to facilitating the deployment of the People Plan. Every day you engage in business conversations, influence people leaders and equip them to lead their teams with courage to foster a highly engaged and inspiring workplace. You partner with leaders in our TELUS Health Solutions team to navigate through change, grow and develop their teams, and foster the culture that is tuned to create positive team member experiences and deliver incredible business outcomes.

You are a resilient, pragmatic, collaborative and humble leader with a great sense of humor. Your counsel is equal parts logic, analysis and strategy. You have a natural curiosity and appreciate that failure and vulnerability are healthy ways to learn and grow. Your passion to make a difference and how you do things will contribute to the success of our internal clients in creating better outcomes for our customers.
