About the role

The People & Culture Business Partner is a 12-month fixed-term role covering parental leave, reporting to the Founder. It provides hands-on, day-to-day P&C support across performance management, culture, reward and recognition, and compliance and policy for team members in Australia, the US and UK/EU.

The role also administers Learning & Development, including managing the LMS to ensure consistent, well-tracked training and compliance learning across Australia, the US and EMEA.

You'll be the go-to person for our leaders and team on everyday people matters, and you'll help us keep building a lean, tech-enabled P&C function.

We'd love someone who can work hybrid from our head office in Mornington, but we're open to remote arrangements for the right person.

What you'll do

• Administer and support the performance management framework, including probation reviews, annual/bi-annual review cycles, goal-setting processes and performance improvement plans.
• Support people leaders to have effective, timely performance conversations, including day-to-day guidance on underperformance and grievances, escalating complex cases to the Founder.
• Coordinate performance review cycles end-to-end, including tracking completion, providing reminders, and reporting on outcomes to the Founder.

• Coordinate our culture and engagement activity, including surveys, recognition programs and events that connect a distributed team
• Administer our Learning Management System, assign training, and report on completion and compliance learning
• Prepare contracts, employment letters, policies and lifecycle paperwork (promotions, role changes, exits)
• Keep our HRIS (Employment Hero for AU, Trinet for US) accurate, and provide regular People reporting
• Draft, develop and maintain company policies and procedures to ensure ongoing compliance with current legislation in both jurisdictions.
• Support and guide our Recruitment, Onboarding & Engagement Advisor
• Use AI and automation tools to make our processes simpler and faster
• Create and maintain employment contracts, job descriptions, organisational charts, organisation announcements, employment letters and performance management documentation.
• Prepare paperwork and manage process for employee lifecycle changes (e.g. promotions, redundancies, terminations).

About you

• 4-6 years' experience in a HR or People & Culture generalist or advisor role
• Hands-on experience with performance management, employee relations and engagement
• Working knowledge of Australian employment law and Modern Awards (US/UK exposure is a bonus, not a must)
• Experience with an HRIS and, ideally, an LMS
• Curious about AI and automation, with a bias for simplifying process
• Organised, detail-focused and trusted with confidential matters
• Comfortable working with a Founder and senior leaders, and happy to roll your sleeves up
• Tertiary qualification in HR, Psychology or a related field is desirable

What’s in it for you

• Direct exposure to the Founder and senior leadership
• Hybrid working from our Mornington head office, with remote options available
• Part-time hours (6 hours x 5 days, or 4 days x 8 hours)
• A values-led, supportive team in a growing global brand
