Recruitment & Workforce Planning

Mosman |Exciting Opportunity

About the Opportunity We are seeking an experienced Talent Acquisition / Recruitment professional to take ownership of the recruitment function within a large, diverse and complex organisation.

This is a senior recruitment leadership opportunity for someone who can look beyond simply filling vacancies and take a broader view of recruitment strategy, stakeholder engagement, workforce needs and process improvement.

You will partner closely with leaders and managers to understand workforce requirements, shape roles, improve recruitment practices and deliver high-quality end-to-end recruitment outcomes.

While recruitment is the core focus, the role will also contribute to workforce planning, position management and broader People Operations projects.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end recruitment from role briefing through to offer and onboarding.
• Partner with managers to understand current and future workforce requirements.
• Provide advice on role design, position descriptions, grading and recruitment strategy.
• Identify opportunities to improve and streamline recruitment processes.
• Influence and guide hiring managers to improve recruitment outcomes and practices.
• Develop a proactive talent acquisition approach rather than simply responding to vacancies.
• Contribute to workforce planning, organisational structure and position management initiatives.
• Support improvements to workforce and position data within SuccessFactors.
• Provide recruitment expertise across a highly diverse range of roles and business areas.
• Contribute to broader People Operations projects and initiatives.

About You

You will be an experienced recruitment or talent acquisition professional with 5+ years' experience and the maturity, confidence and commercial mindset to operate at a senior level.

You will ideally bring:

• Strong end-to-end recruitment experience.
• Demonstrated leadership capability, even if you have not formally managed a large team.
• Experience improving or uplifting recruitment processes.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
• The ability to challenge, advise and guide managers effectively.
• A strategic, proactive and solutions-focused approach.
• Experience recruiting across a diverse range of roles.
• The ability to balance BAU recruitment with broader strategic initiatives.
• An interest in workforce planning and broader organisational workforce needs.
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
• Experience using an ATS; SuccessFactors experience would be advantageous.

Industry Experience

Experience within Government would be highly desirable, particularly an understanding of government recruitment processes, compliance requirements and capability frameworks.

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to play a genuinely influential role within the People Operations function and help shape how recruitment is delivered across the organisation.

You will work closely with the People & Talent Coordinator and broader People Operations team, with the potential for the recruitment function to grow in the future.

The successful candidate will be someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, building relationships and contributing beyond a narrow recruitment remit.

A "that's not my job" mentality won't suit this role. We are looking for someone who is curious, adaptable and willing to bring ideas and solutions to the table.

What’s on Offer

• Senior recruitment leadership opportunity within a large and diverse organisation.
• Based in Mosman.
• Ideally four days per week in the office initially, with potential flexibility to move towards three days once established.
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the recruitment function.
• Exposure to broader strategic workforce and People Operations initiatives.
• Opportunity to influence recruitment processes, stakeholder capability and workforce strategy.

If you are a senior recruiter or talent acquisition professional looking for an opportunity to step beyond transactional recruitment and have a genuine influence on workforce strategy, recruitment practices and organisational outcomes, we would love to hear from you.
