- Employment Type
- Full-time Permanent
- Job Description

The Practice
ASPECT Studios is a purpose-oriented landscape architecture and urban design practice. With operations across Australia, Asia, UK and the Middle East, our studios believe in the power of design to positively change people’s behaviour and lives, the environment, and the planet.

The Team
The People & Capability team form part of the global Executive Group, along with Finance, Marketing, IT, Commercial and our global Executive leaders. Based out of Melbourne, you’ll find most of the Group team in our converted warehouse in the laneway heart of the CBD. With the Melbourne design studio only a 5-minute walk away, you’re never far from our creative hub, public transport and good coffee

The Role
Working closely with our Director of Capability and P&C Business Partner, this position will support recruitment coordination and end-to-end employee life-cycle activities for all our design studios.

Key aspects of the role include:

- P&C team coordination, including tracking and coordinating our HR calendar of activities.
- Recruitment coordination and support, including offer and onboarding stages.
- Coordinating and driving HR initiatives, such as benefit programs, performance reviews, learning and development activities.
- Maintaining HRIS/ATS - data entry, tracking critical dates, onboarding/offboarding.
- Reporting and people data analysis.
- Assisting in development and review of People policies, procedures, and internal resources.
- Research - diverse topics from benefits, to legislative changes, to HR trending topics.

As we collaborate with teams across five global regions, our team works flexibly to accommodate different time zones when necessary. ASPECT recognises the importance of sustainable hours and a healthy work-life balance, so flex (including working from home), is a key feature of the way our People team works.

About You
This is an exciting opportunity for an early career HR professional with 2 - 3 yrs of similar work experience. Exposure to recruitment/talent acquisition is desirable, but not critical - if you’re keen to learn, we can teach you

Our ideal team member will be curious, unafraid to ask questions and seek to understand. You’ll be insights-driven and able to connect the dots, recognising there are many sides to a story. You will play a critical role in keeping things moving and progressing within the team, so an ability to maintain a detailed bird’s-eye view of what’s going on across the practice will be critical to success.

You’ll also be:

- Good with numbers and enjoy working with detailed data and reports (or keen to learn).
- A strong communicator, able to build rapport easily and confidently.
- Organised - you believe it’s important to do what you say you will, which builds trust.
- Comfortable navigating complex or conflicting priorities, and approach sensitive and confidential situations with professionalism and tact.
- Collaborative - you recognise that we will generate better outcomes working together, rather than going it alone.
- Warm, positive and enthusiastic - we take pride in our work and operate to a high standard, but we like to have fun while doing it.

If the above describes you, we want to hear from you.

This is the perfect role for someone who is eager to learn or transition into generalist HR. No two days are the same, and in this role, you’ll gain exposure to the workings of an international design firm, along with opportunities to coordinate and lead your own projects and access mentorship and coaching from experienced HR practitioners.
