2 months ago


Melbourne City Centre, Australia Transurban Full time

Working at Transurban is different; it’s a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create city-sized solutions—building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads—to solve pressing transport challenges.

About the role

As Transurban grows, there is an ongoing need for People and Culture (P&C) to build end-to-end processes that support our people and underpin our strategic ambitions.

Day-to-day, you will:

- Design and implement the TA strategy that meets the changing needs of Transurban.
- Lead a high performing team of talent acquisition professionals by providing strategic guidance and thought leadership on talent acquisition practices, market trends and emerging technologies.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with senior leaders across P&C and the broader organisation, to understand talent needs, anticipate future requirements and proactively plan for specific initiatives supporting business strategy.
- Align talent acquisition activities to deliver diversity, equity and inclusion in Transurban’s workforce.
- Utilise reporting and analytics to continuously improve the service offering of Talent Acquisition and identify opportunities to expand scope, reduce costs, increase productivity or add value in other ways.
- Manage risk and governance across all talent acquisition operations and activities ensuring the correct controls are in place to mitigate any non-compliant activity.

This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferrable skills and experiences, including:

- Demonstrated experience in transforming TA functions that successfully and sustainably produced efficiencies in process, digital/technology uplift and improved people experiences.
- Extensive experience in designing and delivering a TA strategy for a large corporate organisation.
- A well-rounded leader with the full remit of leadership capability, experienced in leading and transitioning TA teams to provide strategic sourcing focussed on direct hiring.
- Experience in managing large projects that involve organisation wide change management.
- Robust vendor management skills, preferably with experience in managing recruitment agency panels.
- Skills in critical thinking, analytical ability and problem solving, with the ability to overlay commercial acumen to decisions and recommendations.
- Well-developed interpersonal skills with the ability to engage, provide purpose and develop high performing teams.
- A growth mindset - you won’t be afraid to challenge the status quo, helping to problem solve through persistence, passion and the ability to influence and negotiate within an ambiguous and changing environment.

With a career at Transurban, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

- A range of flexible working and leave options, including the option to purchase an additional six weeks of leave each year.
- 16 weeks paid parental leave (regardless of gender or carer status), with no waiting period, with Superannuation paid during unpaid leave as well.
- Learning and development opportunities to support your career interests.
- Health and wellbeing support—access to Headspace and our EAP program, wellness facilities, and more.
- Share offers and insurance benefits.
- Social activities, community give-back programs and paid volunteer days.

We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.

We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience - whether they work for us or not. We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns.
