The Opportunity

As a Senior Recruitment & Culture Specialist at Picton Mahoney, you'll be instrumental in driving our firm's dynamic growth initiatives! Reporting directly to the Director of People & Culture, you'll serve as a dedicated champion of our company culture, collaborating closely with our diverse team and broader employee network on all matters related to talent, people, and culture.

This role is highly dynamic and requires an entrepreneurial, energetic, creative, and intrinsically motivated individual. You must be adaptable and agile, understanding that sometimes quick pivots are necessary (think of turning a jet ski, rather than a cruise ship!). With a focus on processes and a commitment to quality, you'll adeptly prioritize tasks, discerning what can be delayed and where excellence is paramount. Above all, you have strong values in building relationships across the business and a natural desire to immerse yourself in the PMAM culture!
