Full Job Description
ABOUT KOHO We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians. At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust. KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in. ABOUT THE ROLE KOHO is in the middle of a meaningful shift - from a traditional P&C function to a modern People Enablement model. We treat the employee experience the way great product teams treat user experience: with rigor, ownership, and a relentless focus on removing friction. The Senior People Business Partner is a critical node in that system. You'll work on both strategy and execution - partnering with people managers to build high-performing teams, owning the infrastructure that makes our people operations reliable and scalable, and continuously improving the systems that shape how KOHOnians experience work. You’ll work cross-functionally with Talent and Coaching to achieve our goals. This is not a support role. It's a builder role for someone who thinks in systems, operates with a high degree of autonomy, and holds themselves accountable to outcomes. This role reports to the Director, People and Culture.
