Since 1978, the business has grown to become a market leader in fresh produce, growing, packing and marketing products across Australia and internationally. Today, Perfection Fresh employs more than 2,000 people across farming operations, high-tech production facilities, research, corporate offices and national logistics operations, and has been recognised among the Australian Financial Review’s Top 100 private companies.

Why this role is compelling

Perfection Fresh is driving a program of change across its people function, with a focus on uplifting the overall HR remit, strengthening leadership capability and increasing the strategic value HR delivers to the business.

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, the Senior HR Business Partner will be an important part of that evolution, working closely with senior, operational and commercial leaders across a complex, fast-moving organisation.

Through contemporary people initiatives, coaching and trusted advice, you will support the business to strengthen leadership capability, drive performance outcomes, embed accountability and create an environment where people can thrive and deliver their best work.

The opportunity extends beyond traditional HR partnering. You will contribute across people strategy, organisational capability, workforce planning, leadership development, performance and employee and industrial relations, while helping to shape a more contemporary and commercially focused HR service.

You will also leverage data and analytics to evaluate strategic direction and use technology, automation and continuous systems improvement to streamline compliance and enable the HR function to deliver greater efficiency, return on investment and strategic value.

Why you’re the right person

You will be an experienced Senior HR Business Partner or HR Manager who can think strategically while remaining connected to the operational realities of the business.

You will offer:

• Strong commercial judgement and credibility with senior leaders
• Experience within FMCG, manufacturing, supply chain or another complex operational environment
• Contemporary thinking across leadership, performance and organisational capability
• Sound employee and industrial relations capability
• Confidence using data and insights to influence decisions and priorities
• A practical, collaborative style with the confidence to constructively challenge and influence

Most importantly, you will be motivated by change and the opportunity to help shape a high-performing, contemporary people function within a large and successful Australian business.
