Role Purpose

The P&C Advisor plays a critical role in supporting BizCover's People & Culture (P&C) strategy by providing hands-on advice and guidance to managers and employees across Australia and New Zealand.

The P&C Advisor is a trusted partner to managers on employee relations, policy interpretation, and workforce matters. They also act as a culture ambassador, supporting initiatives that drive employee engagement, strengthen BizCover's Employer Value Proposition (EVP), and enhance the employee experience. The role suits someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and enjoys building strong connections across the business.
