Cochlear is the global market leader in implant hearing solutions. Cochlear's mission is to help people hear and be heard. Around the world, more people chose a Cochlear-branded hearing implant system than any other. A Cochlear Implant is an electronic device that is surgically implanted under the skin near the ear that restores hearing to those who suffer from severe hearing loss. It's an incredible piece of engineering and the only product in the world that restores a sense through technology. Imagine using your experience to help people around the world to hear again. We can offer a unique opportunity to join Cochlear, an iconic Australian company, leading the world in implantable hearing solutions. Our mission is to help more people to hear.

The Opportunity

Cochlear has an opportunity for a full time Director P&C Business Partnering - Global Supply Chain based in our Macquarie, Sydney Office. In this role, the successful Director P&C Business Partnering will understand the short-, medium- and long-term commercial needs of the business, partnering with global Centres of Expertise (COE) to shape processes, platforms, and initiatives to achieve short- and medium-term business objectives and create a working environment that attracts, develops, and retains talented people.

Responsibilities include:

  • Shape the organisation by developing integrated workforce strategies and a human capital plan for the function to support the achievement of medium- and longer-term enterprise goals.
  • Drive a growth culture with clear accountability for performance by partnering with the People & Culture COEs and S&E.
  • Identify strategic capabilities and develop plans to grow these capabilities enabling leaders to fully engage employees in their performance and development.
  • Working with the business unit leadership team, lead the development of workforce strategies and plans to ensure the business has the strategic capabilities to grow the market, ensure the workforce is equipped to meet the business goals and is continuously improving its performance.
  • Leverage deep business understanding and commercial acumen to ensure that the workforce strategy is competitive and sustainable and aligned with external trends and issues (including, but not limited to, industrial relations, sustainability, work life balance, local competitive pressures) and Cochlear's strategic business priorities.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of appropriate diagnostics to assess change impacts to inform change plans, priorities, and communication plans.
  • Provide leadership on the design, planning and implementation of organisational change and transformation.

What makes this opportunity unique?

This role uniquely combines people strategy with business success, creating a dynamic plan to align workforce efforts with commercial objectives. As a vital consultant to Centers of Excellence (CoEs), it ensures that solutions not only meet business needs but also drive tangible commercial impact. From development to delivery, it plays a hands-on role in managing risks and enhancing organisational performance. The desire to make a tangible difference to the business, coupled with a commitment to achieving the greater purpose of the organisation, is critical. Additionally, you will have the ability to enable business leadership teams to deliver people outcomes, which in turn contribute to the overall business strategy.
