About the role


People are at the heart of our success, so we prioritise what matters most to create an environment where our people can thrive.


As Transurban grows, there is an ongoing need for People and Culture (P&C) to shape, drive and implement the strategic people agenda for Transurban that underpin our strategic ambitions.

The Head of People and Culture Enablement Partnering is a senior role within the P&C function, focussing on the provision of strategic, commercially focussed P&C advice to the business, while driving change and initiatives that leverage P&C capability and programs.


Day-to-day, you will:

  • Develop trusted, credible and influential relationships with relevant Executives and Senior Leaders to be able to contribute to their agendas through a commercially focussed P&C lens.
  • Consult with Executives and Senior Leaders to build an adaptive and future ready organisation with a focus on enterprise talent and workforce capability.
  • Drive a culture that enables the organisation to continue to adapt to an accelerated pace of change and foster a highperformance culture.
  • Provide insight on appropriate organisational design and capability uplift to support any business transformation activities.
  • Provide best practice, commercial HR thinking and insights into strategic and operational matters.
This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferrable skills and experiences, including:

  • Extensive partnering experience with Senior Leadership Teams (GMs) and Group Executives.
  • Capacity to adapt and thrive in multiple, complex environments and business phases, as well the ability to demonstrate resilience and promote an adaptive culture.
  • Passion and drive in the execution of a high performance people and culture agenda
  • Versatile knowledge and work experience with proven skills to identify, contribute to organisational design
  • Skills in critical thinking, analytical ability and problem solving, with the ability to overlay commercial acumen to decisions and recommendations.
  • Learning agility, giving you the ability to build an understanding of key business drivers quickly, leveraging your curiosity and initiative.
  • Sophisticated stakeholder engagement skills, derived from working in fastpace complex environments.
  • Welldeveloped interpersonal skills with the ability to engage, provide purpose and influence Senior Leaders
  • A growth mindset you won't be afraid to challenge the status quo, helping to problem solve through your persistence, passion and the ability to influence and negotiate within an ambiguous and changing environment.
With a career at Transurban, you'll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

  • A range of flexible working and leave options, including the option to purchase an additional six weeks of leave each year.
  • 16 weeks paid parental leave (regardless of gender or carer status), with no waiting period, with Superannuation paid during unpaid leave as well.
  • Learning and development opportunities to support your career interests.
  • Health and wellbeing support—access to Headspace and our EAP program, wellness facilities, and more.
  • Share offers and insurance benefits.
  • Social activities, community giveback programs and paid volunteer days.


We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests.

Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.

We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs.

We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience - whether they work for us or not.

We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns.
