Job description

People & Performance Partner

At 2degrees, our purpose is Fighting for Fair. Join us and be part of a team that's customer obsessed, challenges the status quo, owns it and cares for our people.

Part consultant. Part coach. Part problem solver. All about people.

Your role, your journey | Te Huarahi Whakatipu

Great leaders don't always need answers. Sometimes they need someone who can help uncover the right problem. That's where you come in.

We're building a more adaptive, product-based way of working within People, so this newly created role is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, influencing outcomes and is excited to shape how People partnering is done at 2degrees.

This isn't your traditional Business Partner role. Working as part of our evolving People team, you'll have the opportunity to assemble around priorities, move where the business needs you most, and contribute across a broad range of people and performance challenges. One day you might be supporting a leader through organisational change, the next facilitating a capability workshop, designing a plan to enhance team performance, or solving a complex people issue.

You'll partner closely with leaders to diagnose organisation, capability, performance, engagement and wellbeing challenges, then turn those insights into meaningful solutions that improve both business outcomes and employee experience.

How you'll show up | Tū mai Tū Rangatira

• Solid experience in a Business Partner, People Partner or broader HR generalist role within a complex environment
• Strong consulting and diagnostic skills, with the ability to understand the real problem before jumping to solutions
• Experience partnering with leaders across organisation design, workforce planning, change, talent, performance, engagement or wellbeing initiatives
• The ability to navigate complex people matters and employment relations issues with care, fairness and sound judgement
• Strong coaching, facilitation and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels of the business
• The ability to draw insights from workforce data, trends and business context to shape recommendations.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity, balancing multiple priorities and adapting as business needs evolve
• Curiosity about the future of work, AI and evolving people practices
• Experience with skills, capability or competency frameworks would be a real advantage
• A collaborative mindset and a genuine passion for helping people and teams thrive

What you'll get | Ngā rauemi Manaakitanga

• Flexible working options that support you to do your best work
• The opportunity to shape a newly created role and make a genuine impact across the business
• Plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and build a career you’re proud of
