Sr People & Culture Generalist

**About Wynford** At Wynford, we create live and digital experiences for Fortune 100 and emerging clients, from incentive travel and large-scale events to workshops and product launches. Behind those experiences is a team of people who bring creativity, expertise and commitment to everything they do. Our People & Culture team helps create an environment where employees can do their best work, managers have the support they need and our people processes support the business as it grows. **About the Role** We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Senior People & Culture Generalist who brings strong HR knowledge, sound judgment and the confidence to work independently while supporting employees and leaders. Reporting to the Director, People & Culture, you'll take ownership of core HR operations, advise managers on people matters and lead improvements to our HR processes and systems.
