People Operations Specialist

At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious mission: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. More than ⅓ of all food produced in the world is wasted, and 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss. We’re looking for a highly organized and execution-driven People Operations Specialist to be based in our Toronto office. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing structure with adaptability — owning payroll, benefits, employee support, and HR administration while helping improve and scale our People Operations function across Canada and the US. You’ll play a key role in delivering a seamless employee experience, supporting managers and employees, and ensuring operational excellence across our systems and processes. Success in this role requires strong attention to detail, sound judgment, a proactive mindset, and the ability to navigate a fast-paced environment with confidence and care. What You’ll Do

Payroll and Benefits

• Own payroll processing and validation for Canada and the US, ensuring all standard pay, timecards, and ad-hoc adjustments (e.g., new hires, terminations, bonuses) are accurate. - Manage year-end payroll activities, focusing on hands-on T4 preparation and reconciliation for Canada while ensuring our US PEO successfully issues W-2s. - Administer employee benefits programs, including enrollments, changes, terminations, and responding to employee inquiries. - Ensure payroll practices comply with federal, provincial/state, and local regulations, including remittances, filings, and record retention.
