• Using workforce insights and people data to identify trends, risks and areas of opportunity

• Working collaboratively with internal stakeholders to develop practical and scalable people solutions

• Contributing to broader People & Culture projects as priorities evolve

• Experience supporting a dispersed, multi-location or operational workforce will be advantageous

Relevant tertiary qualifications in Human Resources, Employment Relations, Business or a related discipline will also be viewed favourably.

This role provides an opportunity to broaden your experience beyond traditional HR advisory work and contribute to initiatives with organisation-wide impact.

You’ll join an established People & Culture function and have the opportunity to work with a broad stakeholder group, develop your business partnering capability and contribute to meaningful improvements across the employee lifecycle.
