- Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte- Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.**Where and how you can work

- ** Proactive Trend Analysis**: Leverage data to identify employee relations trends, and take proactive steps to resolve potential challenge areas through resources, coaching, and trainings.
- ** Policy development and governance**: This includes establishing best practices for establishing new policies and annual policy reviews.
- **People Compliance**: Manage all audits (internal and external), mandatory compliance reporting (such as WGEA), and all other compliance requirements.
- **Training and Resources**: Provide related training and resources, including best practice guides for coaches on effective performance management, navigating difficult situations/conversations, conflict resolution, policy development, and general compliance guidance.
- ** Leading and Coaching a team**:Foster a high-performance, people-first team culture and a safe and supportive work environment that enables each person to grow and thrive.

**What we're looking for**:

- **Experience in leading a team** that manages complex employee relations matters.

- Demonstrated **knowledge of policies and employment issues, with an understanding of compliance with relevant laws and regulations**.
- Experience in **conducting/advising on investigations** of highly sensitive and nuanced workplace matters.
- Ability to exhibit the **highest level of discretion**, integrity, professionalism, and empathy.

- Excellent **problem solving skills**, ability to balance needs of the business and the employees while maintaining confidentiality and compliance.
- Comfortable working in high-ambiguity situations, and coming up with solutions for time-sensitive matters.
- ** Experience in geographically dispersed, international HR teams**.
