Our client is a significant national provider of health services, with a large, highly qualified and geographically dispersed workforce. Under new leadership, the business is entering an important period of growth and transformation.

Reporting to the CEO and operating as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, the General Manager, People & Culture will lead the people agenda, elevating the function to be strategic, commercially focused and closely connected to the operational needs of the business.

We are seeking an experienced, commercially minded P&C leader who combines strong strategic capability with sound operational foundations.

Collaborative, pragmatic and proactive, you will bring the judgement to influence strategy while remaining close enough to the business to translate plans into action.
