About the role

Are you the rare and unique HR professional we are looking for?

The HR Unicorn should have about 2-3 years of experience as a generalist in different HR departments and, ideally, has acquired retail experience thru his/her/their previous student/summer jobs.

The HR Unicorn is fearless, impervious to stress and willing to work in an extremely fast pace and always changing environment. The HR unicorn has a bubbly personality, an engaging smile as well as a keen business sense. Don’t be fooled by this job title, we love the fluffy stuff but we are also expecting a result oriented and high performing HR professional.

The HR Unicorn is highly adaptable and has a proven track record of taking on new projects and can self-train on various HR matters as needed.

The HR Unicorn will have done his/her/their research prior to being interviewed and will understand SQUISH’s history and should have some idea of the business relationship between SQUISH and another amazing company: DAVIDsTEA.

The HR Unicorn has reasonable salary expectation and values the experience to be gained in such a dynamic and evolving role more than the dollar amount on his/her/their paycheck.

The role of the HR Unicorn will evolve quickly and might be totally different within 6 months of being hired. Therefore, the HR Unicorn does not need to read a list of responsibilities or requirements before jumping aboard.  The HR Unicorn will ride the rainbow of upcoming challenges and shall welcome/support organisational changes as they happen.

You are a Unicorn, or you aren’t. There is no middle ground.  If you truly feel you are THE one, please send us you resume (Jobs@lovesquish.com) and a short email detailing why you are worthy of being the first ever HR Unicorn!
