Senior People Partner

Department: People & Operations

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Sydney

Reporting To: Katie Oaks

Description Propeller is on a mission to take the guesswork out of moving dirt - reducing wasted fuel, time, and money. We do this through the power of maps. Our customers use Propeller's integrated hardware and software products to capture accurate 3D versions of their worksites. With over 50,000 worksites worldwide using Propeller's smart survey technology, we empower project teams to map, measure, and manage site activity.
Propeller empowers everyone to approach, own, and solve problems creatively. We're data nerds who care about impact, honesty, and each other. We take pride in being a great place to work. We are proud to be recipients of BI Group's Excellence in Customer Experience award and Inspiring Workplaces of Australasia, being recognized as a Fast Company and BuiltIn Best Place to Work. You can learn more about us on Glassdoor.
Your Mission Support 120+ Product and Engineering professionals in Sydney to perform at their best. You'll work directly with these teams, understanding their day-to-day challenges and delivering practical solutions that improve performance and retention. This role requires you to execute major initiatives; from compensation reviews to process improvements- while building genuine relationships across all levels. You'll need to move fast, solve problems kindly and pragmatically, and create systems that work. Key responsibilities:
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with individual contributors and leaders within the Product and Engineering teams, offering guidance on people strategy.
  • Proactively identify trends in performance and engagement, collaborating with leaders and other People team members to foster a high-performance culture.
  • Manage employee relations matters across all levels, ensuring alignment with company values, goals, and legal requirements.
  • Partner with our leadership team to ensure a smooth ramp-up process for new hires and managers.
  • Advise on, manage, and administer benefits programs in Australia, ensuring alignment with company goals, market standards, and compliance requirements.
  • Collaborate with the rest of the People Partnering group to drive Propeller's annual performance review process.
  • Support global compensation strategies, including analysis, structure improvements, and long-term strategy development. Leverage your deep understanding of the local tech market to ensure that Propeller's compensation and benefits packages for the P&E department are both competitive and strategically aligned with business objectives, fostering an equitable total rewards structure.
  • Support the Head of People in setting measurable, data-driven goals for yourself and the People Partnering team.
  • Collaborate proactively with the Employee Experience and Talent Acquisition teams to identify gaps, enhance systems and processes, and achieve shared goals.
  • Oversee global people projects, ensuring alignment with broader organisational priorities and measurable outcomes.
Skills & Experiences Must-have experience:
  • 8+ years of proven experience as a People Partner, HRBP or similar role
  • Previous experience partnering with product and engineering organisations and understanding best practices for rapidly scaling companies
Core skills:
  • Pragmatic problem-solver: You cut through complexity to find solutions that actually work. You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
  • Strong relationships: You build trust quickly and maintain it. Technical people respect your judgment and come to you with their challenges. You are empathetic and perceptive; you handle sensitive situations with care and clarity.
  • Practical coach: You develop leaders and employees by offering constructive feedback and growth opportunities. You're comfortable giving honest feedback at all levels.
  • Execution focused: You turn plans into results. You've built processes from scratch, managed complex projects, and delivered on commitments in fast-moving environments.
  • Commercial mindset: You understand business drivers and use performance and engagement data to shape decisions. You effectively influence without authority and drive meaningful change.
