About you

It goes without saying you'll be a great communicator with top notch interpersonal skills. We'll also expect you to pick up problems and come up with quick, creative ways to solve them. It's quite likely you tick some of the following boxes too:

• Tertiary qualifications in Human Resources or Business.
• Extensive experience in generalist and/or specialist HR roles
• Experience in supporting Technology or consulting teams is desirable but not essential
• Strong knowledge and practical application of HR disciplines including organisation design, talent management, retention strategies, performance, reward, and employee relations.
• Proven ability to lead and coach stakeholders through organisational change and transformation.
