The Opportunity

This is a role for the Business Partner who enjoys operating where momentum never stops. You're energised by variety, thrive in high-performing environments, and love being at the centre of the action.

One moment you're partnering with senior leaders on workforce planning and growth, the next you're coaching leaders through complex people matters or shaping initiatives that elevate capability across the business. Every day brings something different - and that's exactly what keeps you engaged.

Our client is entering an exciting phase and is looking for an experienced HR generalist to become the trusted people partner across a diverse portfolio. You'll blend strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, helping to build the people foundations that will support the next stage of growth.

Is this your perfect match?

You're someone who naturally keeps pace with an evolving business. You anticipate what's around the corner, navigate competing priorities with confidence, and remain calm under pressure.

You'll be at your best in an environment that's ambitious, fast-moving, and continually evolving. If you're looking for predictability, this won't be the right fit. If you're looking for impact, ownership, and the opportunity to help shape what's next, you'll feel right at home.

Most importantly, you're a trusted advisor who enjoys being the first call for leaders and takes pride in delivering people solutions that make a lasting commercial impact.

What you'll be doing

• Partnering with leaders and General Managers to deliver people strategies that support commercial objectives
• Providing expert guidance on Modern Awards, employment legislation and workplace compliance
• Leading change initiatives and partnering with leaders through periods of growth and transformation
• Using people insights and workforce data to inform decision-making and identify opportunities
• Coaching leaders across performance, capability, engagement and people leadership
• Managing complex employee relations matters, investigations and workplace issues end-to-end
• Supporting workforce planning and organisational design to enable continued expansion
• Driving performance and talent initiatives that strengthen leadership capability
• Contributing to talent acquisition, succession planning and retention across multiple locations
• Playing a key role in people projects spanning culture, engagement, leadership development and organisational effectiveness
