City of Melbourne, Australia Amer Sports Full time

If you haven’t heard of Amer Sports before, you’ve definitely heard of our internationally recognised brands including Wilson, Salomon, Arc’teryx, and Atomic. Our brands specialise in high-performance, technical sports equipment and apparel, and encourage users to get outside, keep active and have fun – whether they are playing tennis or golf in the summer, or skiing in the Winter. Combine your skills and passions into one in this fast-paced and rapidly growing business, with countless possibilities for personal career development

We’re excited to be recruiting for a Workforce Planning Specialist role within our Moorabbin Head Office to enable you to utilise your strong analytical mind and deep understanding of people costs to make a meaningful impact within a dynamic HR environment.

As the Workforce Planning – People Cost Management specialist, you’ll be at the intersection of finance and HR, delivering high-quality reporting and modelling of workforce forecasts. You’ll provide financial insights related to salaries, benefits, headcount forecasting, and support strategic decision-making across the business.

Key Responsibilities

- People Planning & Analysis

- Develop and maintain forecasts and budgets for people costs.

- Monitor actuals vs. budget and provide variance analysis.

- Support workforce planning with financial modelling and scenario analysis.

- Business Partnering

- Collaborate with HR, Finance, Talent Acquisition, and department heads.

- Provide financial support for restructures and new hires.

- HRIS Management

- Maintain HR systems (Workday, Payforce, Real Time).

- Analyse system performance and manage user accounts.

- Audit HR processes and ensure secure data storage.

- HR Reporting

- Deliver monthly and ad hoc reports (headcount, turnover, etc.).

- Support APAC and global reporting requirements.

- Payroll & Compensation

- Manage payroll vendor relationships and controls.

- Provide backup payroll support.

- Liaise with HQ and APAC Total Rewards to implement compensation and benefits programs.

What We’re Looking For

- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
- 3+ years’ experience in financial analysis, with HR exposure.
- Strong Excel and financial modelling skills; BI tools experience (Power BI, Tableau) is a plus.
- Familiarity with HRIS and ERP systems, having experience Workday is a big plus
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Detail-oriented, process-driven, resilient, and tech-savvy.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not your typical HR role. It’s ideal for someone who thrives on data, understands the financial drivers behind workforce decisions, and enjoys partnering across departments to shape strategic outcomes. If you’re looking to apply your finance expertise in a people-focused context, this is your chance to shine.

No candidate will meet every single desired skill and qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we’ve identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we’d love to learn more about you
