The Company

For over 20 years, this Australian owned and founded organisation has been a specialist supplier of chemical/pharmaceutical ingredients for products that we use everyday at home.

From beauty products (cosmetics, shampoo, toothpaste and similar) to the ingredients that help keep our houses and workplaces clean, you’ve likely been using their products for years without realising.

They’ve become a leader in their niche market and have grown to having more than 90 staff, operating in multiple countries, with a turnover in excess of $100 Million dollars.

There are numerous examples of people with long tenure in the business (5, 10, 15+ years etc.) and they pride themselves on their friendly and helpful culture with teams who work together heading in the same direction.

Alongside the interesting work they do, there are many benefits offered that have helped build and maintain a great culture here – performance bonuses (consistently handed out each year), fuel subsidies for those who don’t live close to the office, regular company funded get togethers including Xmas parties away where families are also invited.

They’ve also been known to have the CEO call for occasional early finishes through the summer months to take everyone on a boat trip on the harbour. Numerous examples like this help make them an employer of choice.

We are looking for a hands-on HR Manager with a broad skill set to work closely with senior leadership and have genuine influence on how people practices evolve.
