At Ouden Consulting, we partner with ambitious businesses to solve their toughest people challenges. From manufacturing and logistics to construction, retail and professional services, we work alongside business owners and leaders to build stronger teams, reduce risk and create workplaces where people and businesses thrive.
We're not interested in ticking HR boxes or producing reports that sit in a drawer. We help leaders make better decisions, navigate complex situations with confidence and improve business performance through practical, commercially focused people solutions.
We're growing quickly because our clients see us as part of their leadership team—not just another HR consultant.
Demand has reached the point where we need another experienced consultant who can step straight into client relationships and make an impact from day one.
The opportunity
You'll manage your own portfolio of clients, becoming their trusted HR partner and advisor across everything from complex employee relations through to organisational design, leadership coaching and strategic workforce planning.
Some days you'll be helping a client navigate a difficult performance issue. Other days you'll be facilitating leadership workshops, designing HR frameworks or guiding a business through significant organisational change.
No two weeks look the same—and that's exactly how we like it.
You'll have the autonomy to lead your own work while being backed by proven systems, templates and a team that's passionate about continually improving how we deliver for our clients.
What you'll be doing
Partner with a portfolio of clients as their outsourced HR leader and trusted advisor.
Lead complex employee relations matters including investigations, performance management, disciplinary processes, restructures, redundancies and workplace disputes.




Provide commercially focused advice to business owners and executives on workforce strategy, risk and organisational challenges.
Deliver HR consulting projects across leadership, culture, remuneration, organisational design, compliance and capability development.
Coach and support developing consultants while contributing to the continued growth of Ouden Consulting.
About you
You'll have at least eight years' experience in HR, with strong Australian ER/IR knowledge, but experience alone isn't what we're looking for.
We're looking for someone who naturally builds credibility, enjoys solving complex business problems and can confidently sit across the table from a CEO one hour and a frontline supervisor the next.
You'll also bring:
Robust experience managing complex employee relations matters end-to-end.
Excellent judgement and the confidence to work autonomously.
A practical, commercial approach to problem solving.
Agility to work in a start-up environment.
The ability to communicate difficult messages with confidence and empathy.
A interest in building long‐term client relationships.
Previous consulting or multi‐client experience (highly regarded).
Why Ouden Consulting?
We're building a different kind of consulting business.
One where talented consultants are trusted to make decisions, have real influence over how we operate and share in the success they help create.
When you join Ouden Consulting you'll have:
Direct access to leadership with the opportunity to shape how we grow.
Exposure to a wide variety of industries, businesses and people challenges.
A high‐performing, collaborative team that values practical thinking over bureaucracy.
Flexibility, autonomy and the opportunity to build something meaningful—not just maintain the status quo.
