About Us
Our companies are growing, multi-brand businesses with 30+ staff across, warehouse, retail/store and outbound sales. We’re a multicultural team (English + Mandarin speakers) looking for a hands-on HR Manager to build scalable people systems, strengthen compliance, and elevate performance and culture.

You’ll be the first dedicated HR hire, owning the full employee lifecycle and partnering with Operations, Warehouse, and Sales leaders to create consistent, compliant, and practical HR processes across the group.

**Remuneration, Payroll Support & Benefits**
- Advise on pay frameworks, promotions, and market benchmarking.
- Partner with Accounts/Payroll on accurate and timely payroll inputs (rosters, allowances, penalties, leave).
- Track HR metrics: turnover, absenteeism, hiring time, probation pass rate, training completion.
**Learning & Development**
- Build role-based onboarding and ongoing training (WHS, customer service, warehouse SOPs).
- Identify skill gaps; implement targeted training with internal SMEs and external providers.
What Success Looks Like (First 90-180 Days)
- **30-60 days**: HR audit completed; priority risks and quick wins delivered; policy suite consolidated; hiring pipeline live.
- **90 days**: Consistent onboarding & probation process in place; WHS calendar and consultation running; manager toolkits rolled out.
- **180 days**: Performance review cycle implemented; engagement actions in progress; turnover and incidents trending down; hiring time reduced.
Requirements (Must-Haves)

- Solid knowledge of **Fair Work**, NES, Awards, and practical **WHS** compliance in warehouse/office/retail settings.
