About You

Levyl is looking for a proactive and motivated HR generalist that has most recently been in an operational Senior HR Advisor or HR Business Partner role. Well skilled across performance, talent, and employee relations; you will be interested in leaning into L&D, systems, and process improvement in your next role! You will be attracted to the nature of an evolving and nimble business, one on a journey from being ‘reactive’ to strategic when it comes to People & Culture. You’re hands on with how you problem solve, enjoy working with stakeholders from differing backgrounds, and thrive on the challenge that comes with refining, iterating, and creating ways to do better, and be better. Working closely with the P&C leader will afford you the opportunity to be mentored; however equally we are open to hiring an experienced Business Partner who enjoys a head office property & construction environment, but wants to leave the ‘blue sky’ strategic thinking to the boss!
