What's the Brief?

Join a high-performing People & Culture team within a well-established professional services firm undergoing continued growth and evolution. With a 90-year legacy, multiple national offices and a reputation for delivering sophisticated advisory services, this organisation combines big-firm capability with a genuinely collaborative, down-to-earth culture.

Reporting into a supportive and values-led Head of People, you'll partner closely with two key business divisions - providing both strategic and operational HR support, shaping people initiatives, and helping leaders lift capability across the board. This is a role where your commercial thinking, passion for people experience, and comfort operating end-to-end across the employee lifecycle will be valued from day one.

Is This Your Perfect Match?

You thrive in professional services or a similarly fast-paced, relationship-driven environment, where trusted partnerships and credibility matter. You enjoy rolling up your sleeves, advising leaders, and influencing positive culture and performance outcomes - but you're equally energised by project work and driving initiatives with real impact.

If you're someone who values autonomy
and
collaboration, loves building strong internal relationships, and enjoys variety in your day - you'll feel right at home here. A growth mindset, passion for data-informed decision making, and genuine desire to make work better for people will set you up for success.

Your Role in Action

  • Be a trusted advisor to business leaders, providing confident, risk-balanced HR and ER guidance
  • Support leaders across probation, performance and behavioural matters through to end-to-end performance management
  • Deliver people insights through data, dashboards and reporting to inform business strategy
  • Drive capability uplift through coaching, guidance and proactive support
  • Lead cyclical activity - including reviews, engagement surveys and talent mapping
  • Partner on workforce planning, succession, development pathways and recognition
  • Play a hands-on role in policy, contracts, ER documentation and employee lifecycle support
  • Help bring a new HRIS to life and embed continuous improvement
  • Represent the P&C function across internal forums, events and committees

What You Bring to the Table

  • Proven experience in a broad People & Culture Advisory or Senior Advisor role
  • Background in professional services or similar high-performing commercial setting (ideal)
  • Strong ER capability with demonstrated experience coaching managers through performance matters
  • Ability to read people, influence outcomes and build trust quickly
  • Analytical mindset - confident turning data into meaningful insights
  • Experience supporting HRIS implementation or system improvement projects
  • Relevant tertiary qualification in HR or related discipline
