Bundall, Australia Living Gems Pty Ltd Full time

**Human Resources & Payroll Manager**

Over 40 years ago, Living Gems pioneered land lease communities in Australia. Backed by strong financial foundations and a proud history, we’re now launching the next chapter — and it’s bigger, smarter, and bolder than ever. We’re starting fresh with a brand-new pipeline of resorts, and the first three sites are already underway. This is your chance to help shape Living Gems 2.0 — a business with heritage and backing, but with the energy of a startup.

We’re looking for a hands-on leader who’s as comfortable in the boardroom as they are resolving HR queries.

Reporting to the CEO, this is your opportunity to showcase your HR leadership and payroll capacity within a growing company. This permanent Human Resources and Payroll Manager role will take ownership of the full people and payroll function, balancing both operational delivery and strategic initiatives. The role will be standalone initially as the workforce is currently ~40 employees. Head office is located centrally at Bundall, with ample parking.

This newly created role will be central in shaping HR strategy, driving employee engagement and ensuring the smooth running of payroll operations while partnering closely with the senior leadership team.
- Lead all HR operations including recruitment, onboarding, inductions, policy development and compliance
- Conduct end-to-end accurate payroll processing on a weekly basis
- Act as a trusted advisor on ER / IR matters, supporting managers with best practice guidance and resolution strategies
- Embed a performance and development framework that supports employee growth and retention

We are seeking a generalist HR leader with technical payroll knowledge and the ability to work across both strategic and operational levels.

**Key requirements**:

- At least 5+years proven HR generalist experience at a business partner or manager level
- HR or IR qualifications - ideally at a degree level
- Previous payroll processing experience with strong knowledge of award interpretation and payroll compliance
- Strong understanding of Australian workplace laws, HR best practice and compliance
- Hands on experience supporting operational teams
- Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management skills
- Resilient, emotionally intelligent and solutions focussed
- Experience in construction or land lease community sectors
- Experience with Payroll and HRIS platforms

**Why join us**
- A leadership role with real influence and autonomy
- Variety, challenge and the chance to shape the HR function from the ground up in a growing organisation
- Competitive salary and career development opportunities
- Work alongside passionate, driven professionals in a supportive and engaging culture
