At People First Bank, we're making banking better – for our members, our people and the communities we serve. As Australia's largest customer-owned bank – formed through the merger of two long-standing mutuals – we're proudly member-first, not shareholder-driven.

We're growing fast, and with that comes transformation. To help us deliver on our strategic goals and support our people through this exciting period of change, we're seeking a Senior People & Culture Business Partner to join our collaborative and dynamic P&C team.

About the Role

In this key leadership-facing role, you'll partner with Executives and senior leaders across critical operations and enterprise-wide projects to shape our workforce, uplift capability, and enable meaningful change.

You'll act as a trusted advisor across all things people – from workforce planning and change management to performance, engagement and leadership development.

What You'll Be Doing

• Strategically partner with senior leaders to deliver people plans that enable growth and transformation.
• Lead workforce planning, succession and organisational design initiatives.
• Guide and support change programs, ensuring alignment with values and effective people outcomes.
• Drive performance, remuneration and capability uplift processes that support business strategy.
• Use data and insights to inform people decisions and identify emerging workforce trends or risks.
• Build leadership capability and support talent development and mobility.
• Strengthen employee engagement and help create a consistent, inclusive, high-performance culture.

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience in a senior HR business partnering role, ideally in a regulated or financial services environment.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, including at Executive level.
• Demonstrated success in leading workforce change and organisational development initiatives.
• A strong working knowledge of Australian employment law, enterprise agreements, and contemporary people practices.
• Sound judgement, analytical thinking and coaching capability.
• Passion for creating employee experiences that align with purpose and values.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, Psychology or similar
• Postgraduate qualifications, PROSCI certification or AHRI membership are a bonus

Why Join Us?

At People First Bank, you'll be part of a genuinely values-led organisation undergoing meaningful transformation. You'll have the opportunity to make a real impact, work with senior leaders, and influence the way we support, engage and grow our people.

We offer:

• Hybrid working and flexible arrangements
• A competitive salary package
• A supportive, down-to-earth culture where people matter
• The chance to shape the future of mutual banking in Australia
