What's the brief?

Our client, a leading supply chain solutions provider, is seeking a highly polished and commercially astute Senior HR Business Partner to cover a parental leave contract. This role sits at the centre of their corporate head office and requires someone confident influencing at executive level. In partnership with senior leaders across Commercial & Finance, IT, Legal and HR, this person will be trusted to shape people strategy, drive critical initiatives and provide pragmatic, business-focused advice.

  • Deliver monthly reporting and insights on key people metrics directly to the CEO.

  • Facilitate talent management and capability uplift, with a focus on succession, retention and executive development.
  • Collaborate with peers in OD, Talent, Safety & Wellbeing and Workplace Relations to deliver integrated, enterprise-wide people solutions.

What You Bring

  • Broad HR generalist expertise spanning workforce planning, ER/IR, remuneration, L&D, performance, talent management and organisational change.
  • Demonstrated business partnering experience at a senior level, ideally within logistics, heavy industry or other complex environments.
  • A track record of delivering people programs and initiatives that have lifted performance, culture and business outcomes.
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to interpret operational, financial and people data to provide insights and influence decisions.
