Description


Happiness Coordinator: If organizing, streamlining, and making life easier for others is your superpower, read on. AlgaeCal is hunting for a People & Culture Assistant who’s ready to handle the details that keep our team thriving.

You’ll be the go-to-person for...well...everything in our busy office. You may be negotiating with suppliers one day and organizing a team lunch the next. You’ll be keeping track of company assets - ensuring your teammates have the right equipment, in the right place, at the right time. All while keeping a watchful eye over EVERY aspect of our office.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to chat! AlgaeCal is looking for a standout People & Culture Assistant to help us build an extraordinary, aligned, values-driven team.

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we’re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have low bone density. 

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world’s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We give hope to everyone worried about bone loss. If that excites you, you’ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal. 

You’ll love it here:

  • You’ll be working with a great team.
    The People and Culture team at AlgaeCal knows what it takes to build an amazing workplace. They’ve hired more top talent than Stephen Spielberg. And they’ve solved so many challenges that they practically have an honorary degree in “People Wrangling.” Best of all? They’re approachable, funny, and genuinely care about every team member’s growth.
  • You’ll use your powers for good.
    This isn’t one of those HR roles that drains you with endless paperwork. Quite the opposite! You’ll be supporting initiatives that make a real difference—building a workplace that champions health, happiness, and balance. You’ll be empowering managers, uplifting employees, and shaping a culture where people can thrive.
  • You won’t be micromanaged.
    We’ll set you up with clear KPIs and clear expectations—then give you the space to do what you do best. You’ll have the freedom to bring your ideas to life and make an impact, without anyone looking over your shoulder.
  • We don’t have mattresses at the office.
    You’ll be glad to know this isn’t one of those soul-sucking jobs where endless hours are the norm. We believe in work-life balance. We enjoy our life—and we want you to enjoy yours, too.

This job might be for you if you’ve got…

  • A resume that proves you’re more organized than Marie Kondo. In this role, you’ll wear a lot of hats—and love it. One morning, you might be working with vendors to keep the office stocked. By lunch, you’re organizing a team gathering (we do enjoy those), and in the afternoon, you’re screening resumes. In short, you’ll need a resume that shows you’re a natural multitasker who thrives on variety.
  • An obsession with details. Laptops, monitors, office supplies—you’ll keep tabs on every item with flawless accuracy. Up-to-date, organized inventory documentation is second nature to you, and you don’t let a single detail slip through the cracks.
  • Logistics experience. Snail mail, product inventory, quality checks, domestic and international shipping—you’re ready to handle it all with ease and efficiency.
  • A people-centered approach. You’ll be the heart of onboarding, handling everything from desk setups and equipment prep to organizing documents and tracking each step. Team lunches, birthday gifts, sympathy flowers—these thoughtful touches will be under your care, making sure our team feels valued and supported every day. So if your resume can demonstrate your proficiency in these areas––that’ll be a huge plus. 
  • A flair for event assistance. From picking up supplies to making sure events go off without a hitch, you’re the go-to for any last-minute needs, whether it’s grabbing the cake or setting up the drinks.
  • An eye for top-talent. You’ll be managing cover letter reviews, coordinating headhunting logistics, and handling candidate communication with ease. From start to finish, you’ll keep the talent process running smoothly, ensuring every step is seamless and professional.

Now, time to be honest: is this really you? If you’re nodding your head and feeling that flutter of excitement, then we can’t wait to meet you.

Other Qualities You’ll Need

At AlgaeCal we’re going to insist that you have these 3 qualities:

  • You’re humble--you put the team and others’ needs ahead of your own
  • You’re hungry to learn more
  • You’re people smart--in the sense that you’re a great teammate

What Will You Earn? 

We believe in rewarding top talent. Let’s talk about salary once we’ve had the chance to get to know you better. Rest assured, we’re generous and offer above-market pay for the right person. If you bring the skills and experience, we’ll make sure the compensation reflects that.

  • Monthly team events and activities
  • Flexible Stat Holidays with the option to bank days for later use
  • Weekly team lunches
  • Casual dress code
  • Incredible dog friendly, Yaletown office one block from SkyTrain

And above all, you’ll join a team that you’ll never want to leave. Culture is everything to us. Yes, we work extremely hard to change as many people’s lives as possible. But we know how to have fun and reward ourselves too.

What We Do

AlgaeCal has pioneered the multi-nutrient approach to bone health, has supported its effectiveness with clinical studies, and guarantees stronger bones as measured by DEXA, making us the leader in natural bone health.

We are firm believers in the power of nature and the veracity of good science. AlgaeCal Inc. is proud to be the first company to popularize a plant as a calcium source in a world of limestone calcium supplements.

We have learned this full spectrum of plant minerals outperforms traditional calcium through independent clinical trials. As pioneers introducing vitamin K2, significant levels of D3, and strontium, we have forged a path for others to follow.

More recently, AlgaeCal has developed the world’s best bone supporting anti-inflammatory product, Triple Power Omega 3 Fish Oil. Inflammation is a primary cause of bone loss so it needs to be addressed head-on with the 3 leading anti-inflammatory nutrients.

But perhaps what sets AlgaeCal apart from the crowd most is guaranteeing your result. No doctor or supplement company we know of has the confidence in their approach to bone loss to do this.

We’re a different kind of company.
