**Your Business**

The Human Resources (HR) team plays a key role in supporting the CBA's Group’s strategy by working with our client teams to attract and build talent, develop leaders, drive capability and performance, create a diverse culture, and enhance productivity.

The Everyday People Services (EPS) team provides the Group with HR advisory and operational services across Industrial Relations, Workplace Relations, Employee Benefits, Global Mobility, Health, Safety & Wellbeing, People & Payroll Services, Workforce Analytics, HR Direct, and Workers’ Compensation.

**Your Team**

At Commonwealth Bank, our Workplace Relations and Industrial Relations teams are separate, however work closely to deliver for the Group. The broader Industrial Relations Team is responsible for end to end management of industrial relations including overall IR strategy, negotiating and implementing the Group’s enterprise agreements, owning and managing the Group’s People Policies, ensuring compliance with our employment obligations and monitoring the external IR environment.

**Your Responsibilities**

As this role supports the IR team, it is technical in nature and requires someone who can not only identify an issue but can also document and work with other teams to implement solutions and drive continuous improvement.

Advice

- Seek advice with internal/external legal advisors on complex matters as required
- Facilitate presentations/workshops to different levels of employees across the Group on IR matters
- Design education materials, collateral and training to enable leaders to understand and manage their industrial obligations

Projects & General IR Support
- Lead IR strategic projects with technical support and analytical /data modelling as required.
- Engage with internal stakeholders to manage relationships and expectations while supporting organisational change
- Manage FSU queries impacting individual level issues as they relate to the Fair Work Act and the applicable Group Enterprise Agreements
