Workplace Relations Business Partner

Workplace Relations Business Partner

Own complex, end-to-end workplace relations cases and help Australian businesses navigate them with confidence.

Why you'll love this role

• High autonomy on complex, high-stakes cases across our top-tier client accounts
• Variety: case management, client training/webinars, and strategic advisory work, not just phone queues
• Join an Employer of Choice (9 years running) that's tripling in size - your growth ceiling is high

What you'll be responsible for

You’ll be joining our HR and WHS Advisory team - the engine room of our organisation - delivering trusted, practical guidance to businesses across Australia and New Zealand. Here's what your days will look like:

• Own complex grievances, investigations and termination matters for our top-tier clients
• Provide robust, commercially focused workplace relations advice that mitigates legal and reputational risk
• Prepare claim responses (e.g. FWC matters) and coordinate conciliation documentation
• Deliver client training, webinars and facilitate implementation meetings
• Act as a trusted advisor within significant client accounts, spotting where else we can add value
• Maintain rigorous case documentation and milestone tracking

Who we're looking for

You're the kind of person who doesn't wait to be told what to do - you see a problem and get on with solving it. Beyond that, here's what will set you up for success:

• Advanced award literacy and confidence classifying roles and confirming pay compliance
• Proven experience managing complex ER/IR cases end-to-end, with sound judgement on risk and escalation
• Strong facilitation and training delivery skills
• Clear, plain-English communicator who builds client trust and empathy
• Structured written analysis with clear, implementable recommendations
• Calm under pressure, with the stakeholder influence to match
