Make a difference as an Employee Relations Policy and Governance Specialist.

Join the largest general insurance group in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. We're a top-tier ASX-listed company helping to make the world a safer place through creating a stronger and more resilient business and enabling our portfolio of iconic insurance brands.

Your Role
As a Specialist in Employee Relations Policy & Governance, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping how IAG responds to evolving employment legislation and ER entitlements compliance. This is a strategic, high-impact position where your expertise will guide the development and implementation of policies that ensure fairness, legal integrity, and operational excellence.

You'll lead key workstreams across enterprise-wide ER initiatives, including:

  • Enterprise Agreement and Award interpretation, and employment law implementation, translating complex legal frameworks into clear, actionable policies and guidance.

While the role is location-specific, we welcome applications from candidates outside Sydney and Melbourne who are open to relocating.

  • A strategic mindset with the ability to anticipate issues and proactively resolve them.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills across all levels of the organisation.
  • A proactive approach to staying across changes in the external environment and translating them into internal action.

If you're ready to take on a role that drives real change and challenges you to lead with purpose, we're ready for you.

Applications close Friday, 3 October 2025.
