Join a well-established, multi-site hospitality and leisure business. People is a core pillar of the board-backed strategy, and they're looking for someone with the talent and passion to actually build on the current function. A genuine build role.
 
Right now the HR "cabinet" is bare. Policy, process and hygiene need real work, and the Group is mid-rollout of a new HR platform, this will help with performance management conversations, new ways of working with leaders and staff, and a real chance to shape how the whole system beds in.
 
Reporting to the CFO and sitting on the SLT, you'll lead a team of 3 with real scope to shape how the function operates. 
 
You'll:
  • Lift culture and communication across the Group, closing the loop between what leadership wants to achieve and what actually reaches the floor
  • Build leadership capability so venue managers can own performance, conduct and attendance conversations properly
  • Bring genuine ER expertise, most matters are handled internally (there's currently a strong Risk & Compliance function)
  • Be genuinely fluent in enterprise agreements
Who we're looking for:
Hospitality, clubs, retail or another high-volume, high-turnover, multi-site environment background, this is not a corporate HR seat, and someone who's operated in a fast-paced, frontline-heavy environment is a must. You're commercially minded, comfortable being hands-on as much as strategic, and you don't shy away from the harder conversations, with the credibility to lift standards while still building trust.
You'll bring:
  • Solid experience in a senior HR/People & Culture role within a multi-site, operational business
  • Own recruitment and workforce planning across a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • Strong working knowledge of the Fair Work Act, NES, enterprise agreements and related employment obligations
  • A track record of leading a genuine HR uplift, not just running BAU
  • Experience leading HRIS or workflow automation projects
  • Confidence leading and developing a small team, and influencing operational leaders
 
If you love the idea of walking into a business that's ready to invest and building a function from the ground up, this is it!
