Partenaire d’affaires RH – Hybride VFX

Job Position(s): Partenaire d'affaires RH - Hybride VFX

Ubisoft is hiring an HR Business Partner for its VFX studio in Montreal, Quebec. This role sits at the center of the VFX pipeline, managing the full employee lifecycle for production teams whose headcount shifts significantly as projects ramp up, hit peak output, and wind down. It suits an HR professional who has worked inside a studio or production environment and understands that people decisions in VFX are rarely tidy or predictable.

About the Role

The HR Business Partner works directly with department leads and senior leadership across active VFX production, handling everything from recruitment surges during project expansion to complex employee relations cases mid-production. A typical day moves between advising a department head on a performance conversation, managing open bilingual job postings, and keeping employee records current in HR systems. The role is split between strategic counsel and hands-on operational work, with no clear line between the two.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruitment for VFX production roles, from scoping headcount needs with department leads to onboarding new hires ahead of production deadlines.
• Partner with project managers to forecast staffing fluctuations across production phases, including both crew growth and planned reductions.
• Coach managers through performance reviews, improvement plans, and the performance management tools used across the studio.
• Handle complex employee relations files, including workplace conflicts, accommodation requests, formal complaints, and disengagement cases.
• Support senior leadership as a trusted advisor on org structure, workforce strategy, and team development across the animation studio.
• Oversee all off-boarding processes, whether voluntary or involuntary, ensuring full compliance with Quebec labour standards and applicable employment law.

What You Bring

• Proven HR Business Partner experience, ideally inside a VFX studio, animation studio, or post-production environment where crew sizes fluctuate by project.
• Solid knowledge of Quebec labour law and bilingual HR policy requirements.
• Experience managing high-volume recruitment across technical and creative production roles simultaneously.
• Comfort working in HRIS platforms and maintaining accurate employee records across a changing roster.
• Demonstrated ability to handle sensitive employee relations matters with discretion and sound judgment.

Why This Role

Ubisoft operates one of the largest VFX and game production pipelines in Montreal, which means the HR Business Partner here works at real scale across multiple simultaneous projects. The role carries genuine influence over how teams are built and managed, not just administrative oversight. For an HR professional who wants proximity to creative production work and meaningful responsibility, this is a substantive position.
