Shape the people strategy for one of Queensland's most unique and high-profile institutions. This is a rare opportunity to lead a team of HR professionals, be a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, and work at the centre of Queensland's democratic process. The role blends strategic influence with operational delivery, all within the dynamic environment of the Queensland Parliamentary Service. You will be working at the heart of Queensland's democratic process, supporting Members of Parliament, parliamentary committees, and the staff who make it all happen. The scope is broad, the stakeholders are diverse, and the work has real impact across communities statewide. If you thrive on complexity, can move seamlessly between big-picture thinking and hands-on problem solving, and enjoy influencing at the highest levels, this role will challenge and reward you in equal measure.

About The Role

Reporting to the Deputy Clerk and Executive Director, Strategy, Policy and Planning, you will lead a team of eight to deliver high-quality HR, organisational development, and change management services across the Parliamentary Service.

  • Oversee and lead the Certified Agreement process, ensuring collaborative negotiation and positive outcomes.
  • Contribute to strategic transformation and change management programs.
  • Oversee workforce planning, leadership development, and employee engagement initiatives.
  • Use workforce data to inform reporting and strategic decision-making.
  • Represent the Parliamentary Service in negotiations and stakeholder consultations.
  • Manage budgets, resources, and vendors to achieve operational excellence.

What You Will Bring
  • Proven success in leading HR teams within complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
  • Strong capability in employment and industrial relations, including investigation, negotiation, mediation, and advocacy.
  • Demonstrated experience in driving strategic transformation and organisational improvement.
  • Proficiency in using workforce data for reporting and strategic advice.
  • Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with the ability to engage at all levels.
  • Preparedness to hold or obtain Rehabilitation and Return to Work Coordinator accreditation.
  • High levels of judgement, integrity, and resilience.

Why join us

Working in the Parliamentary Service offers a unique combination of purpose, influence, and variety. Here you will:
  • Play a central role in shaping the people strategy for an organisation that impacts communities across Queensland.
  • Work closely with senior leaders, Members of Parliament, and key decision-makers.
  • Lead and develop a dedicated, professional HR team.
  • Be involved in complex, high-profile initiatives where your expertise will be valued and visible.
  • Enjoy the stability of a government role combined with the variety and challenge of a dynamic workplace.
  • Be part of a culture that values integrity, respect, resilience, and service to the community.
