• Solid HRBP or senior HR Generalist experience

• Strong project management skills and the ability to juggle BAU, projects and reactive work

Highly regarded:

• Experience in complex, decentralised organisations

This role will suit you if

you’re pragmatic, commercially minded and energised by pace and ambiguity. You enjoy simplifying complexity, building things from scratch and challenging thinking with ideas you’ve seen work elsewhere. You’re a team player who rolls up your sleeves, with high discretion and sound judgement. If you prefer rigid structure and heavy governance, this probably isn’t the role for you.

What’s on offer

• A competitive base salary with real scope for growth as the role develops
• Genuine autonomy to shape HR practice in a growing business
• Engaged, passionate leaders and a supportive, collaborative HR team
• Hybrid working from Melbourne, with regular interstate travel
