North Ryde, New South Wales, Australia Partale Talent Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Shape the future of a dynamic and scaling telecommunications business, offering hands on support driving cultural development and operational excellence.

About the Opportunity

As a hands-on HR Generalist, you will play a pivotal role in our company's growth and transformation. Reporting to the CFO, you will oversee core HR functions, from recruitment and organisational design to culture and development, while also managing the integration of new acquisitions.

You will embed new systems, build a fit-for-purpose HR function, and work closely with senior leaders and outsourced partners across Australia, New Zealand, UAE, and the UK. This is a standalone role with significant scope for future growth. The ideal candidate is proactive, adaptable, and thrives in a fast-paced, scaling environment.

Key Responsibilities

Leading Growth & Culture

  • Lead recruitment and onboarding initiatives aligned with workforce planning and headcount growth.
  • Support cultural development and employee engagement across global teams.
  • Drive integration efforts for newly acquired businesses, including onboarding and people processes.
  • Manage learning and development programs and remuneration reviews.

HR Strategy & Operations

  • Collaborate with outsourced HR partners across international regions.
  • Support Employment Hero integration and optimisation.
  • Provide hands-on support across all HR operations and compliance.
  • Work closely with the CFO and EA/Office Manager on events, engagement, and organisational development.
  • Adapt to changing business needs and contribute to transformational HR initiatives.

What were looking for

Our client is on a mission to reshape the telecommunications landscape, and we need a dynamic and pragmatic Senior Manager in People and Culture to support their growth. This role offers the chance to build and refine the HR function from the ground up. We are looking for a strategic and hands-on leader who can balance big-picture thinking with practical, measurable execution. If you are comfortable working independently in a scaling business, we want to hear from you.

Personal Attributes

  • A proactive, commercially minded individual who can translate strategic theory into practical, action-oriented results.
  • Possesses strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with decision-makers.
  • A credible and trusted partner who can work independently and take initiative.
  • The ability to balance employee needs with business objectives.

Technical Expertise

  • Strong generalist HR capability with hands-on operational experience.
  • Proven ability to oversee all aspects of HR operations, including payroll, policy, and compliance.
  • Deep expertise in organisational design and change management.
  • Experience with key HR systems, specifically Employment Hero.

Your Background

  • Minimum of 10 years of generalist HR experience.
  • Proven experience in leading organisational change and transformation.
  • A track record of elevating the HR function into a trusted business partner.
  • Comfortable working in a standalone role with outsourced support.
  • A proven ability to thrive in agile, fast-paced environments, not from a large corporate background.
