What's the brief?

We're looking for an experienced HR Manager to step into a 14-month fixed-term role, covering a parental leave absence at a well-known Australian retailer.

  • Provide guidance on legal claims and Fair Work Commission processes
  • Deliver capability training for managers
  • Ensure award compliance through regular audits and reporting
  • Partner with leaders to drive alignment between people and business goals
  • Communicate people processes and outcomes clearly and effectively to all stakeholders
  • Work closely with the HR Operations team to ensure smooth delivery of people initiatives in the business
  • Contribute to ongoing process and compliance improvements across the HR function

Your toolkit

  • Proven HR leadership experience, ideally within retail or hospitality and knowledge if relevant awards
  • Strong employee relations expertise, including serious and sensitive cases
  • Hands-on experience with Fair Work legislation and Commission processes
  • Confidence managing legal claims and advising on strategy
  • Skilled at delivering capability training and practical ER workshops
  • Track record of building trusted relationships with diverse stakeholders
  • Ability to coach and mentor HR team members to build confidence and capability
  • Strong business partnering approach with commercial acumen
