About the Organisation:
We’re partnering with a high-growth, Financial Services business operating across Australia, New Zealand and the US. With a strong market presence and continued expansion, the organisation is entering an exciting next phase of growth.
Having scaled quickly, the focus is now on strengthening internal capability, building more structure and continuing to evolve how the business supports its people. It’s a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with a strong sense of ownership, where leadership is approachable, engaged and open to doing things differently.
About the Role:
This is a newly created, standalone People & Culture Manager role and a genuine opportunity to build something from the ground up. Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll have full ownership of the P&C function, with the space to shape how it looks, feels and operates.
You’ll work closely with leadership to bring clarity and consistency to people practices while supporting day-to-day delivery. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys being hands-on, influencing at a senior level, and making a visible impact across the business.
Key responsibilities include:
You’re someone who thrives in environments where you can build, shape and influence. You enjoy being close to the business and are comfortable creating structure where it doesn’t yet exist. You’re hands-on, commercially minded, and confident in influencing stakeholders while keeping things moving.
