People & Culture Manager

Full-time or 4 days per week | Melbourne-based

Our client

A much-loved hospitality brand with a team of circa 200 across multiple locations in Melbourne. Known for its fun, family vibe and quality food, the business has built a loyal customer following and now enters an exciting growth phase — scaling up while staying true to its roots.

To support this growth phase, they're creating a dedicated People & Culture function to shape their culture sustainably.

The role

Reporting to the Group General Manager and working closely with the founder, this is a hands-on opportunity to shape how people, culture and performance come to life across the business. You'll build the foundations of the P&C function — balancing compliance and structure with initiatives that drive engagement, capability and leadership development.

This role will suit someone with experience in hospitality, retail or another fast-paced, customer-driven environment who want to stretch their strategic HR capability. It could be the perfect next step for an emerging P&C professional ready for their first leadership role, or for someone more established looking for the flexibility of a more flexible permanent role.

Key responsibilities

  • Establish and manage the People & Culture function across the full employee lifecycle
  • Create policies, compliance frameworks and governance initiatives suited to a multi-site workforce
  • Work with teams, leaders & external partners to build engagement and capability
  • Inform on recruitment, shape onboarding and drive performance and employee relations discussions
  • Develop leadership development and training programs
  • Foster a people-first culture that supports growth, accountability and care in a commercial way

What's in it for you

A rare chance to create a P&C function from scratch in a fast-growing, iconic Melbourne brand. You'll work closely with the GM, founder and partners with real autonomy to influence culture and capability during a pivotal growth stage.

What you'll bring

  • Experience as a P&C/HR Advisor, Business Partner or similar, ready to step up
  • Background in hospitality, retail or other fast-paced, people-driven industries (ideal)
  • Strong grounding in compliance and people practices
  • Ability to work independently, build trust and influence leaders
  • Energy, initiative and a genuine care for people
  • Motivation to grow with the business and shape its P&C function

If you're ready to make your mark as a P&C leader, let's start a conversation.
