About Them
A highly regarded international professional services organisation is seeking an experienced HR Manager to join its Australian business on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

Supporting a workforce of approximately 300 employees across Australia, this is a true generalist role where you will act as the primary HR contact for local leaders and employees while working closely with a well-established global HR function based overseas.

This opportunity is ideal for a hands-on HR professional who enjoys partnering with senior stakeholders, influencing leaders, and managing end-to-end HR operations in a mature, well-supported environment.
  
About the Role
Reporting to an overseas Senior HR Business Partner, you will take ownership of all day-to-day HR activity across Australia. You'll be supported by specialist global centres of excellence covering areas such as employee relations, payroll, reward, learning & development and HR services.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Providing trusted HR advice to leaders and employees

  • Managing employee relations matters with support from specialist HR teams
  • Leading cyclical HR activities including performance, talent and annual people processes
  • Supporting organisational growth and workforce planning initiatives
  • Driving employee engagement and people-focused initiatives
  • Ensuring compliance with Australian employment legislation and company policies
  • Partnering with global HR colleagues to implement people programs locally
About You
You are an experienced HR generalist who enjoys being close to the business and comfortable operating autonomously in a standalone HR role.

You will bring:
  • Proven HR generalist experience at HR Manager or HRBP level
  • Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • Confidence partnering with senior leaders in a professional services, legal, consulting or corporate environment
  • Sound employee relations experience and knowledge of Australian employment legislation
  • A pragmatic, hands-on approach with a willingness to roll up your sleeves
  • The ability to balance operational delivery with business partnering responsibilities
  • Strong communication skills and commercial judgement
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications
About Culture & Benefits
  • Opportunity to join a respected global organisation with ambitious growth plans
  • Broad standalone HR role with significant autonomy
  • Exposure to senior leadership and business decision-making
  • Well-established global HR infrastructure and specialist support
  • Collaborative and inclusive culture
  • Sydney-based role with flexible working arrangements
This position will suit someone who enjoys a broad, operationally focused HR remit and is looking for a genuine business partnering role within a professional services environment.
