For those joining now, this is an exciting opportunity to step into a business at a pivotal stage, where there is both a strong foundation and clear opportunity to uplift and shape the next phase of its People function.

The Opportunity

This is a broad and hands-on leadership role, responsible for leading the P&C function across Australia and the Philippines, and delivering a high-quality employee experience across the full lifecycle. While the role operates strategically, it also requires a leader who enjoys staying connected to operational delivery, supporting complex employee matters, uplifting capability across the function, and improving how People supports the business at scale.

• Leading and developing a distributed People team across Employee Relations, Operations, and Learning & Capability
• Acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders across workforce strategy, organisational effectiveness, leadership capability, and culture
• Providing strategic oversight on complex employee relations matters, investigations, and compliance
• Driving leadership development and capability uplift initiatives across all levels of the organisation
• Improving and evolving People Operations processes, systems, and employee lifecycle experiences
• Leading AI-enabled transformation initiatives across People workflows, systems, and support models
• Designing scalable, high-performing and future-focused ways of working that support continued business growth
