• Manage employee relations matters, including investigations, disciplinary processes and personal grievances.
• Provide guidance on employment legislation, policies and best practice.
• Support the delivery of leadership development initiatives.
• Support organisational change initiatives and help leaders navigate change effectively.

You're an experienced HR professional who enjoys building relationships and influencing positive outcomes. You're comfortable balancing operational delivery with strategic thinking and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

You'll bring:

• Proven experience in a Senior HR Advisor or HR Generalist role.
• Strong knowledge of New Zealand employment legislation and employee relations.
• Confidence coaching and influencing leaders at all levels.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
