You will ensure that talent, culture, and leadership capabilities evolve in lockstep with enterprise growth and business expansion.

* Facilitate cross-functional collaboration to unlock synergies and improve organisational effectiveness.
* Lead the design and delivery of strategic learning and development initiatives that support workforce requirements and operational readiness.
* Foster a values-driven, inclusive, and psychologically safe culture that inspires high performance and belonging across all levels of the group.
* Develop diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) strategies, with measurable outcomes and clear accountability.

* Establish governance frameworks to ensure consistency, risk management, and continuous improvement in HR policies and practices

About you:

Stratco are looking for a collegiate, strategic and values aligned leader with:

  • Executive-level experience in Human Resources, Organisational Development and Workforce Planning.
  • Proven experience leading people strategy within a national and/or global, matrixed organisation, preferably from within engineering/manufacturing domains.
  • Acute business acumen, pragmatism and a commercial mindset.
  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to influence at executive and board level and align cross-functional teams around shared goals.
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications.

What's on Offer:

This is a unique opportunity offering the rare privilege of influencing a global organisation's culture, talent, and leadership with purpose. If you are a contemporary leader who values empathy, integrity, and innovation, this role offers an inspiring platform to lead transformative change at the highest level.
