Join a global software leader as their Australian HR presence!

• Collaborate with a high-touch US-based HR team and supportive leader.
• Uplift local systems and processes, driving harmonisation and consistency!
• Enjoy a true generalist remit with HR projects and flexible working!

The Company

A leading global provider of ERP software, our client has pursued a strategic expansion journey (predominantly through acquisition) for the past few years. With a paramount focus on putting their customers and employees first, they have taken the time to establish a trusted HR presence in their US Head Office and are now looking to replicate this in the local Australian market. Recognised for their innovative technology yet relaxed and down to earth approach, this organisation services blue and white collar demographics and is in a position to grow and sophisticate their operations.

The Leaders

Reporting through to the VP of HR based in the US, this HR Business Partner will drive the harmonisation of global business and people & culture practices to the local team based in the NSW Central Coast. With a focus on performance, recruitment, learning and systems – this is an exciting opportunity to roll up your sleeves and be heavily operational, whilst working on a long-term, strategic bigger picture piece of work!

The Opportunity

As the HR Business Partner, you will take on a standalone role with a broad remit, supported by a high-touch HR team in the US. This role offers an exciting opportunity to lead various HR initiatives, from recruitment, onboarding and compliance through to talent development! Specific responsibilities will include:

• Building relationships with the local team to guide them on how to embrace and partner effectively with the HR team;
• Partnering with hiring managers to streamline recruitment processes and deliver a seamless candidate experience;
• Driving the revision and improvement of the onboarding and offboarding processes to ensure new hires are well-integrated and the employee lifecycle is sound;
• Overseeing performance and related initiatives including the roll out of new processes and ways of work;
• Collaborating on talent development projects, including career pathways and leadership development;
• Working on a systems integration of the local LMS to the global platform, making recommendations and guiding the project as you go;
• Ensuring compliance with Australian labour laws (adapting company policies and processes accordingly);
• Reviewing and adapting compensation strategies to ensure a competitive offering; and
• Driving local culture initiatives partnering effectively with the global team to ensure consistency of communication and engagement is achieved.

About You

The ideal candidate for this role will be a well-rounded HR generalist who thrives in an independent, operationally focused environment! You will appreciate autonomy and independence whilst also being a naturally collaborative team player. With sound skills across talent, performance, learning, compliance, and comp & ben, you will bring both depth and breadth of HR capability to the table and love taking on project work.

Any experience working in the software, hardware, or building supplies sectors would be advantageous but is not necessary. What would be valuable is any experience driving harmonisation processes between a parent and portfolio company, ensuring alignment of People & Culture strategies with overarching organisational goals! Further, you will be comfortable navigating the complexities of a matrixed global organisation, reporting through to the US but being the standalone Australian HR resource.

Please note this position is hybrid in nature, however, will require you to be based at least a few days a week, from the Central Coast (Erina) office. We are open to Sydney or Newcastle based candidates willing to do a commute on a hybrid basis, or locally based Central Coast candidates. The salary on offer is dependent on experience and between the range of $120-140k + super.
