People & Culture Manager

Marrickville Sydney

$160,000 - $180,000 + Super

Hybrid WFH

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 quick-paced, frontline-heavy setting 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
Robust 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!
