- Inspire and lead team members, provide coaching, and professional development to build engagement and capability and embed a culture of stakeholder centricity, accountability, and service excellence
- Lead the implementation planning of people programs, projects, policy initiatives and cyclical workforce activities, monitor compliance and effectiveness, and share insights and stakeholder feedback with P&C leads and relevant stakeholders
- Maintain knowledge of relevant legislation, policy obligations, industry trends and practices to identify, recommend and deliver high quality and compliant solutions

- Extensive experience in the delivery of integrated people partnering advice and services across the full range of people, culture, safety and wellbeing areas at a whole-of-organisation level and in complex settings
