Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Samuels Donegan Full time $180,000 per year
  • $180,000 inc. super + car park
  • Permanent full-time
  • North/CBD
  • Stable, growth-oriented business

What's the brief?

With nearly 10,000 employees and a workforce spanning blue-collar frontline teams to executive leadership, it's an enterprise that knows how to scale but also knows when it's time to evolve. Following a recent external review and the appointment of a new Group HR leader with a mandate for change, the business is rolling out a new HR model. One focused on alignment, strategy, and capability, not just compliance.

Is This Your Perfect Match?

This role is made for someone who thrives in build mode. Someone who's commercially minded, pragmatic and has the confidence to engage directly with divisional CEOs, GMs, and operations leaders - even when HR hasn't historically had a seat at the table.

You'll love it here if you:

  • Enjoy working in complex environments where no two days look the same
  • Understand how to support large operational teams without over-engineering solutions
  • Like to be close to the action, embedded with leaders, not siloed in HR
  • Are comfortable working in organisations with ambition but low HR maturity, where what you build will actually stick

Your Role in Action

You'll be the go-to strategic advisor for one of the business's largest divisions. You'll partner directly with commercial leaders who are operationally sharp, time poor, and outcome driven and you'll need to meet them where they are.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • Workforce Planning
    : Working with leaders to anticipate future needs, manage risk, and align workforce design to commercial priorities
  • Organisation Design
    : Leading structure reviews, clarifying roles, designing career pathways, and supporting job levelling
  • Talent Management & Succession
    : Spotting critical talent, facilitating talent reviews, and building development plans
  • Remuneration Frameworks
    : Cleaning up fragmented pay practices and embedding consistent, scalable reward frameworks
  • People Data & Insights
    : Creating dashboards and people metrics that drive business conversations and inform decision-making
  • Strategic Partnering
    : Acting as a sounding board for executives, challenging when needed, and aligning divisional priorities to group strategy

What You Bring

To make an impact, you'll need to bring experience, maturity, and commercial edge. We're looking for someone who has:

  • Proven HR business partnering experience
  • Contributed meaningfully to organisational design, remuneration, or workforce planning initiatives
  • Worked in (or with) large-scale operational or field-based environments e.g. transport, logistics, manufacturing, infrastructure, blue-collar services
  • The confidence to build in ambiguity, without needing polished frameworks handed to you
