Shape the future

  • $200,000 inc. super
  • Full time; 1 day in office - Melb CBD
  • PE-backed growth environment

At Samuels Donegan, we partner with organisations that see HR as more than a function it's a lever for growth. This role sits right at that intersection.

We're representing a PE backed group that's expanded through a series of acquisitions. Today it operates as a network of distinct entities each with its own leadership team, operating rhythm and commercial priorities. What unites them is ambition, curiosity and a shared commitment to building something bigger and better.

As a Senior HR Business Partner this is a chance to operate in an environment where transformation and performance go hand-in-hand. You'll help shape the people strategy for businesses at different stages of maturity each with the appetite to evolve and grow.

What you'll do

  • Partner with Senior Leadership Teams across multiple entities, acting as a trusted advisor on workforce, culture, capability and compliance.
  • Lead and deliver transformation projects from post-acquisition integration and restructures to OD, workforce design and succession planning.
  • Translate group-wide people frameworks into pragmatic, entity-specific initiatives that meet both business needs and compliance obligations.
  • Coach and develop leaders at all levels, strengthening people-leadership capability and accountability.
  • Manage complex ER and IR matters with sound judgement and a solutions mindset.
  • Use workforce data to diagnose trends, identify risk and deliver insight-driven, fit-for-purpose solutions.
  • Champion a leader-led HR model, empowering managers while safeguarding the integrity of process, policy and law.

Who you are

  • An accomplished Senior HR Generalist / Business Partner who's operated across multi-entity or PE-backed organisations.
  • Commercially minded and data-literate, able to link people strategy directly to business outcomes.
  • Deep understanding of employment law, compliance and governance, and the confidence to navigate grey areas with clarity and integrity.
  • Experienced in leading change; from transformation and integration to capability uplift.
  • Calm, credible and adaptable - you can pivot quickly while keeping people engaged.
  • Known for your ability to balance commercial realism with empathy and sound judgement.
