Your new role

Step into a role where people, partnerships and impact really count.

As part of a collaborative and growing P&C Partnerships team, you’ll work closely with an experienced Partnerships Manager and leaders across the organisation to deliver a practical, solutions-focused Business Partnering service.

You’ll support a broad range of people initiatives and day-to-day partnering activities, including workforce planning, ER/IR, organisational change, performance, remuneration and WHS.

This is a great time to join. As our organisational structure continues to evolve, you’ll have the opportunity to build strong internal relationships, develop deep organisational insight, and progressively step into more defined client group partnering.

You will be a Business Partner ready for more complexity or a more experienced practitioner seeking to be part of a values-led team. What matters most is your curiosity and collaborative approach, and we’ll support you.

Make a real impact.

Enjoy variety with purpose.

Grow with support, and have some fun along the way.
