Job description

Are you ready to be Kin-at-i-can?

People sit at the centre of every compliance outcome we help our customers deliver — and inside Kinatico, that’s exactly where you’ll sit too, shaping how our people show up, every single day. You’re a HR generalist or People and Culture specialist who leads with curiosity and has a bias for action. You think about the people function holistically creating a culture that enables our people to thrive — connecting the dots between engagement, performance and people compliance and the commercial outcomes they drive. You will own people programmes end to end rather than administering them from the sidelines. You bring sound judgement, discretion, and a hands‑on curiosity about what technology and AI can do for the way people work.

Reporting to the Chief Operating and AI Officer you will have support from the Office and Culture Coordinator to help with the logistics of designing and delivering a people experience that has impact.

OUR TEAM'S STRENGTH COMES FROM EVERYONE'S INDIVIDUALITY

You bring:

• A degree in HR or related field, or equivalent experience

• 5+ years' HR generalist or specialist experience

• Experience owning and evolving people programmes (such as Engagement, Performance and OH&S) end to end, not just supporting delivery

• Operational experience with psychosocial safety, WHS, and industrial/ER requirements (including Fair Work).

• Experience running compensation reviews with rigour and confidentiality

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, comfortable owning the People function day to day

• A curious, hands‑on approach to HR technology and AI in HR practice

DELIVERING THE GOOD, STIVING FOR THE GREAT

As our People & Culture Advisor, you will own the following areas end to end:

Performance, Engagement & Thrive at Work

• Own the Deliver & Develop and engagement programmes end to end, improving them every cycle
• Operationalise Thrive at Work as a lived practice, not a checkbox

Recruitment & Talent Advisory

• Support end-to-end recruitment with the Office and Culture Coordinator
• Own hiring pipeline health and final candidate recommendations

Employee Relations & Workplace Investigations

• Own ER matters and investigations end to end, with procedural fairness
• Guide leaders on complex ER matters, escalating where risk warrants
• Build people leaders’ capability to manage ER issues early

HR Compliance, including WHS

• Own Kinatico's HR compliance framework across every jurisdiction
• Maintain the policies and reporting that evidence compliance
• Own the Thriving, Safe & Healthy Workplace risk cycle and HR administration accuracy

Compensation Review Process

• Lead the end-to-end compensation review, with confidentiality and rigour

People Metrics & Executive Reporting

• Own people metrics reporting and feed insight into leadership and Board reporting

Reimagining People Operations

• Recommend where transactional HR work can be automated
• Hold the line on what stays human: ER judgement, investigations and comp calls
• Drive adoption of Kinatico Compliance beyond People & Culture

Executive Representation

• Represent People & Culture at leadership level in the COO & AI Officer's absence

ARE YOU READY TO BE A KINATICAN?

Where our passion, talent, delivery and impact collide, our purpose lives. We help organisations truly know their people, taking away the burden of non‑compliance and making activities easy to manage and easy to complete. We are a leader in Reg‑Tech across Australia and New Zealand, and we are just getting started.

• Flexible working, we hire great people and trust them to deliver, wherever they are in Australia
• A team that genuinely invests in your growth, with regular development conversations and real room to own your career path
• A purpose‑led mission you will feel every day, our technology helps keep workplaces safer and more compliant
• The stability of an ASX‑listed organisation with the energy of a high‑growth Reg‑Tech business

At Kinatico, we believe the best teams are built from diverse perspectives and growth mindsets. Research shows that while men apply to roles when they meet around 60% of the criteria, women and other underrepresented groups often wait until they tick every box. If you are excited about this role but do not meet every requirement, we still want to hear from you. Let’s have a chat and explore the possibilities.
