We are seeking an experienced HR or Legal professional with a background in employment law to join our Group HR team as an HR Advisory and Compliance Partner. This unique opportunity is ideal for someone who understands the nuances of compliance, governance and employee relations, and who thrives on working with leaders to enable both legally compliant and commercially pragmatic outcomes.

Working across two Brisbane-based offices, with a primary base near Brisbane Airport and regular presence in Newstead, this role is positioned to support the business on a journey of continuous improvement, maturity and alignment in people practices. It is a hands-on, advisory role requiring a balance of subject matter expertise, business acumen and the ability to work collaboratively with our teams across Australia and New Zealand.

About the Role

You'll be responsible for reviewing and advising on compliance matters across HR, Payroll and related practices, helping to ensure alignment with legislative and industrial obligations while enabling operational effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review HR practices to identify potential compliance risks and misalignment with obligations.

Your Background Will Likely Include:

  • Tertiary qualifications in, Law, Human Resources, Industrial Relations or a related field.
  • Strong working knowledge of Australian and New Zealand employment legislation and enterprise agreements.
  • Demonstrated experience in a compliance, ER/IR advisory or governance-focused HR role.

  • Familiarity with Payroll and HRIS systems.
  • Experience contributing to policy or compliance reform programs.
