About BHP

At BHP we support our people to grow, learn, develop their skills and reach their potential. With a global portfolio of operations, we offer a diverse and inclusive environment with extraordinary career opportunities. Our strategy is to focus on creating a safe work environment where our employees feel strongly connected to our values and objectives, and where the capability of our people is key to our success.

Come and be a part of this success.

About the Role

The Manager, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) holds BHP's enterprise DEI strategy, targets and standards on behalf of Talent, Performance & Partnering, translating enterprise priorities into a coh erent, measurable inclusion agenda. The role does not deliver Global D EI outcomes directly - delivery is distributed through CoEs (who shape employee lifecycle levers), HR Business Partnership and the business.

Instead, the role sets the enterprise standard, monitors progress against targets, governs BHP's DEI ecosystem (Employee Resource Groups and Inclusion & Diversity Councils), and ensures BHP meets its external and regulatory reporting obligations, including WGEA.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

Support the setting of BHP's enterprise DEI strategy and multi-year targets (including gender and broader diversity commitments), providing the standard against which value streams and lever owners measure their own equity outcomes.

Design and run a structured program of work to be executed with discipline through HRBPs, relevant HR and non-HR CoEs (e.g., Workforce Intelligence and Capability, Leadership Development, BOS) that enables achievement of the enterprise strategy and clarity for the organisation on what to prioritise in the shorter vs medium term. Data will be critical for providing insights on where to course correct to ensure tangible DEI outcomes are achieved.

Build stakeholder relationships and influence to support accelerated execution of the DEI strategy.

Set global DEI frameworks, policies and program standards (e.g., Respectful Behaviours, DEI program design) that are practical for leaders and employees to apply, while delivery of these standards at Asset and Regional level remains with HRBP and Regional HR teams.

Lead global DEI reporting for internal and external audiences working with data owners (e.g., Reward team, GBS), including statutory and regulatory reporting requirements such as WGEA, ensuring data accuracy and audit readiness.

Monitor DEI target performance across the enterprise and accelerate material divergence from targets, exercising stop authority where outcomes compromise enterprise DEI targets or create legal exposure relating to diversity commitments.

Contribute DEI content to ELT and Board papers, covering strategy progress, legislative compliance, and emerging risks or opportunities, in partnership with Talent, Legal and Sustainability as required.

Architect and facilitate BHP's DEI ecosystem — including Employee Resource Group and Inclusion & Diversity Council structures. Creating consistency through clear functional standards, governance routines and accountability mechanisms, holding stop authority over governance breaches.

Act as the enterprise subject matter expert on DEI strategy and standards, providing expert advisory support to HRLT, HRBPs, value stream leads and lever owners. Co-design and collaborate with expert, external partners to drive inclusion outcomes in the business where relevant.

Partner with the Australian Indigenous Employment team (reporting to HRBPs at regional level) via common frameworks (e.g., anti-racism). Set the standard for Indigenous employment globally to ensure interventions are in line with and leveraging the global Inclusion initiatives.

Lead and develop a small team (3), prioritising work for enterprise-wide impact and building scalable standards and governance mechanisms rather than direct-delivery capacity.
