If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you've likely heard of AMP. But at a time when society is changing, we are too. We're now a nimbler business with new leadership and thinking.

For us, these are exciting times. There's a real potential for big thinkers to help us redefine what financial services could be. And turn our legacy into something even more positive and powerful for the future.

**Help people create their tomorrow, while you create yours**

We help people with their banking, super, retirement and finances. Through upturns, downturns, recessions, and major life transitions. Every day, we help people see and make more of their financial potential, so that they can create their tomorrow. And we've been doing it for over 170 years.

If we do our job well, we genuinely add to the prosperity of our country and its people.

The mission of the People, Sustainability and Community function within AMP is to unleash the potential of our people to deliver great outcomes for our customers, members, advisors, shareholders and communities and transparently and confidently share our story.

You will be involved in meaningful and impactful work that will support our leaders and people in the management of escalated conduct and performance matters in a people-centred manner. You will also have expertise in conducting workplace investigations and recommending consequences.

You will be empowered to lead on large-scale change projects that will optimise the success of our people and support the continued simplification of our company.

With your appetite to develop further, you have the opportunity to contribute to the development and implementation of AMP's Workplace Relations strategy in line with the People Strategy.

As part of a high-performing and talented team, you will have the support to grow your career in a flexible working environment and find opportunities to expand on your experience.

**You'll thrive here if...**

If you can adapt from BAU to the ambiguous with ease, you'll do well here. Change is never easy, so bring your commitment, grit and growth mindset. Because we run lean, you'll be expected to jump in and deliver across a variety of areas. Meaning, you'll be closer to the action and executive decisions that influence where we go next.
