Job Description

Senior People & Culture Partner

Join a growing technology business at an exciting stage of its journey, where you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact across the People & Culture function.

This is a broad, hands-on role combining business partnering, employee lifecycle management and the delivery of key People & Culture initiatives.

What you'll be doing

  • Partner with managers and senior leaders across a broad range of people matters
  • Independently manage performance, employee relations and more complex employee matters
  • Provide practical advice and recommendations when situations aren't always clear-cut
  • Influence and challenge stakeholders, and drive matters through to resolution
  • Improve processes across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding and offboarding
  • Streamline performance management and recruitment processes
  • Lead P&C projects and build scalable, consistent ways of working
  • Support the selection and implementation of a new HRIS
  • Review and strengthen policies, compliance and governance

What we're looking for

We're looking for an experienced P&C generalist who can hit the ground running across a broad range of people matters.

You'll be comfortable independently advising senior leaders, navigating complex employee matters and making recommendations when the answer isn't always clear-cut.

Just as importantly, you'll take ownership - forming your own view, recommending an approach and driving it through to an outcome, even when there is resistance or a lack of follow-through.

You'll bring:

  • Broad generalist People & Culture experience
  • Experience independently managing complex employee relations and performance matters
  • Strong experience partnering with and advising senior leaders
  • Confidence constructively challenging stakeholders and influencing outcomes
  • Strong knowledge of Australian employment legislation
  • Sound judgement when navigating ambiguous or less clear-cut people matters
  • A track record of taking ownership and driving things through to resolution
  • Experience improving P&C processes and ways of working
  • Comfort working in a growing environment where processes are still evolving

What's on offer?

  • The opportunity to shape and strengthen the People & Culture function as the business continues to grow
  • Genuine ownership and autonomy to improve the way things are done
  • Work alongside an experienced and supportive Head of People & Culture
  • Lead the implementation of a new HRIS and key People initiatives
  • Join a collaborative technology business experiencing significant growth
  • Flexible hybrid working
