The Opportunity

As a People & Culture Business Partner you’ll be more than a support function. You’ll be a trusted advisor, working alongside our People Operations Manager and senior leaders to create a people experience that sparks creativity, builds connection, and empowers individuals to thrive.

At King Living, innovation runs deep — in our products and in our people. You’ll design strategies that are as bold and forward-thinking as the designs we’re famous for, ensuring our teams feel valued, inspired, and ready to do their best work.

This is your chance to shape a workplace where people don’t just succeed in their roles — they discover new opportunities, expand their skills, and grow into the leaders of tomorrow.

What You will Be Doing

- Work alongside the People Operations Manager and broader leadership teams to deliver thoughtful, end-to-end people support across the full employee lifecycle, ensuring every experience feels purposeful and engaging.
- Champion initiatives that shape a positive, inclusive, and high-performing culture, embedding our core values while encouraging fresh ideas and innovative ways of working.

- Coach and mentor managers, providing them with the tools and confidence to build empowered, engaged, and future-ready teams.
- Deliver expert guidance on policies, performance, recruitment, employee relations, and workforce planning, always with an eye on how to do things smarter, better, and differently.
- Lead the resolution of employee casework with a balanced, people-centric approach, focusing on positive, pragmatic outcomes.
- Drive meaningful feedback loops through exit interviews and data insights, identifying opportunities to enhance engagement and employee experience.
- Support the annual salary review process with a considered, data-informed approach, aligning remuneration to market benchmarks and modern awards while driving fairness and transparency.
- Reimagine people processes by embracing innovation and AI-driven efficiencies, helping us work smarter while always keeping the human element at the centre.

What You will Bring

- Solid foundation in human resources, ideally gained within dynamic environments such as supply chain, manufacturing, design, retail, or customer service, where you’ve delivered real impact.
- The ability to see the bigger picture while understanding the unique drivers of people engagement and performance — balancing commercial acumen with a genuine care for people.
- Exceptional organisational skills, with the confidence to navigate competing priorities in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment.
- High proficiency in people systems like Employment Hero, SAP, and Job Adder. An openness to leveraging technology and data to drive smarter, more effective outcomes.
- Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence, engage, and build trust across all levels of the organisation.
- A proactive approach with a continuous improvement mindset, always seeking ways to think outside of the box and elevate both the employee experience and business performance.
