The Company

Our client is one of Australia’s leading fintech organisations, recognised for reshaping the way Australians engage with financial services. With a strong national footprint and a growing global presence, the business combines innovative technology with human expertise to deliver seamless, customer-first experiences.

Operating in a fast-paced, scale-up environment, the organisation continues to evolve its operating model, investing in systems, process improvement, and intelligent automation to enhance both customer and employee outcomes. With a clear growth trajectory and an appetite for innovation, this is a business that values curiosity, adaptability, and continuous improvement.

For those joining now, this is an exciting opportunity to step into a business at a pivotal stage, where there is both a strong foundation and clear opportunity to uplift and shape the next phase of its People function.

The Opportunity

This is a broad and hands-on leadership role, responsible for leading the P&C function across Australia and the Philippines, and delivering a high-quality employee experience across the full lifecycle. While the role operates strategically, it also requires a leader who enjoys staying connected to operational delivery, supporting complex employee matters, uplifting capability across the function, and improving how People supports the business at scale.
  
A key focus will be continuing the evolution of a modern, technology-enabled People function, improving systems, workflows, employee support experiences, and leadership capability through both human-centred design and AI-enabled transformation.

Key areas of focus include:
  • Leading and developing a distributed People team across Employee Relations, Operations, and Learning & Capability
  • Acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders across workforce strategy, organisational effectiveness, leadership capability, and culture
  • Providing strategic oversight on complex employee relations matters, investigations, and compliance
  • Driving leadership development and capability uplift initiatives across all levels of the organisation
  • Improving and evolving People Operations processes, systems, and employee lifecycle experiences
  • Leading AI-enabled transformation initiatives across People workflows, systems, and support models
  • Designing scalable, high-performing and future-focused ways of working that support continued business growth
About You

You are an experienced and commercially minded People leader who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments and enjoys balancing strategic leadership with hands-on operational impact.

You bring strong capability across Employee Relations, People Operations, leadership development, and organisational effectiveness, alongside the confidence to partner closely with senior stakeholders and influence business outcomes.

Importantly, you are someone who enjoys building modern People practices and is energised by the opportunity to evolve how People functions operate in the future.

The ideal candidate will bring:
  • Experience leading broad People & Culture functions within high-growth, scaling, or fast-paced environment.
  • Strong capability across Employee Relations, including complex and sensitive matters.
  • Experience spanning People Operations, Business Partnering, leadership development, and organisational capability uplift.
  • A track record of improving systems, processes, and operational effectiveness across People functions.
  • The ability to influence and partner effectively with senior leaders and executives.
  • Experience leading distributed or global teams is highly regarded.
  • A progressive mindset and genuine interest in how AI, technology, and automation can enhance People and leadership experiences.
  • Exceptional communication, leadership, and stakeholder management capability.
This role is suited to an experienced People leader who enjoys building capability, improving how things operate, and helping shape the future of work inside a rapidly evolving organisation.
