1 day ago

Sydney, Australia Applejack Full time

We’ve opened a new chapter at Opera Bar, Sydney, and we’re looking for a people-first HR Advisor/Business Partner to be embedded on-site, full-time.

If you’re organised, approachable, and love being hands-on with both people and process, this role blends day-to-day HR operations with true business partnering. With 2+ years in HR (hospitality a plus) and confidence in HRIS (_Tanda preferred_), you’ll coach leaders, lift capability, and help us deliver an exceptional employee experience from the ground up.

Applejack is known for its incredible culture and family-like team morale, with team events throughout the year, great friends for life & fabulous discounts & progression opportunities across 12 award-winning venues;
- Opera Bar, Sydney
- The Botanist, Kirribilli
- The Butler, Potts Point
- Bopp & Tone, CBD
- Hesters Cafe, CBD
- Junes Shoppe, CBD
- RAFI, North Sydney
- SoCal Sydney, Neutral Bay
- Forresters, Surry Hills
- Taphouse, Darlinghurst
- Sandys Kiosk & RAFI, URBNSURF Sydney Olympic Park

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a busy venue environment, enjoys variety in their workday, and is looking for career growth in a supportive, values-driven business.

What you’ll do (HRBP focus)
- Partner with venue leadership on workforce planning, roster efficiency, and team structure.
- Own core HR cycles on site: recruitment, onboarding, probation, development, and exits.
- Payroll integrity & HRIS: ensure roster/timesheet accuracy and data hygiene in Tanda.
- Compliance: maintain records, awards alignment, RTW checks, visas/documentation.
- Engagement & culture: drive recognition, communication rhythms, and staff events.
- Learning & growth: coordinate training plans and build capability across the team.
- People analytics: surface trends (turnover, absenteeism, ENPS) to inform decisions.

**About you**
- 2+ years in an HR Advisor/Generalist/HRBP role (hospitality or multi-site highly regarded).
- Confident with HRIS and payroll workflows (Tanda experience strongly preferred).
- Strong ER foundations, great communicator, and calm under pressure. HIGA Award experience preferred but not required.
- Practical, hands-on, and comfortable being the on-site “go-to” for People & Culture.

**Applejack perks**
- Ongoing training, support, and clear career pathways.
- Team-focused, flexible, and supportive environment (we genuinely value balance).
- Regular team building & events; a fun, upbeat culture.
- Great incentives & rewards — recognition for quality outcomes.
- Generous staff discounts across our venues.
