Are you an experienced People & Culture Advisor looking for a role where you can genuinely make an impact, build trusted relationships with leaders and have ownership across the full employee lifecycle?
We are partnering exclusively with a highly regarded national professional services organisation to appoint a People & Culture Advisor to their Melbourne team.
Supporting approximately 180employees, this is a true generalist opportunity where you will become the dedicated People & Culture presence for the Melbourne studio, working closely with approximately ***** Directors, the broader leadership group and the Head of People & Culture.
This isn't a role where everything is already perfectly built for you. There are manual processes, systems to improve and an opportunity for someone to come in, understand the business and help shape what P&C; looks like moving forward.
The Role:
The position is approximately 60% advisory and 40% operational, so you will need to enjoy both sides of HR. You'll have the autonomy to advise and coach leaders while still being comfortable rolling up your sleeves and getting involved in the day-to-day.
Your responsibilities will include:
Partnering with and coaching Directors, Associates and leaders across people matters
Building leadership capability and helping managers navigate people conversations
Providing advice across employee relations, performance, conduct and grievances
Managing recruitment, onboarding, inductions and employee lifecycle processes
Running probation and performance review cycles
Supporting workforce and resource planning
Driving culture, engagement and wellbeing initiatives
Supporting remuneration reviews and employee benefits
Managing employee records, reporting and people data
Working with Power BI dashboards and identifying trends across the workforce
Supporting policy, process and systems improvements
Contributing to WHS, psychosocial safety and Return-to-Work activities
Having the opportunity to contribute to broader national P&C; projects depending on your interests and development goals
Leadership coaching will be a particularly important part of this position. The organisation is looking for someone who can build trusted relationships with leaders and help continue developing their capability around managing and supporting their people.
What We're Looking For:
We're looking for someone who is confident in their HR knowledge but equally solid when it comes to people.
You will ideally bring:
Strong generalist HR/P&C; experience at Advisor or Senior Advisor level
Experience partnering with and coaching managers and senior leaders
Good knowledge of Australian employment legislation and Modern Awards
Hands-on employee relations and performance management experience
Experience across the broader employee lifecycle
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
The confidence to provide advice while also knowing when to seek support
A proactive and solutions-focused approach
Strong systems, reporting and data capabilityThe ability to work within an environment where some processes are still manual
Experience within professional services, creative, design or another relationship-driven environment would be advantageous, but industry experience is not essential
Why You'll Love It
This is a genuinely exciting time to join the organisation.



There is significant change happening across the broader business, including the development of its organisational strategy and changes to how the business operates and makes decisions. For the right person, there will be opportunities to contribute to some of these broader initiatives and take ownership of projects beyond the Melbourne studio.
You'll Also Benefit From:
Genuine autonomy and ownership of P&C; for Melbourne
Direct exposure to senior leaders and Directors
Support and regular one-on-ones with an experienced Head of People & Culture
Opportunities to become involved in national P&C; projects
The ability to shape your role around areas of HR you want to develop further
A social, down-to-earth and collaborative working environment
Long employee tenure, with the Melbourne averaging approximately seven years
One regular work-from-home day per week once established in the role, with some additional flexibility where required
A business that wants someone to come in, understand what is working and then bring ideas around what P&C; could do better
The preference is for the successful person to spend their first few months predominantly in the Melbourne studio to build relationships and understand the business before moving into the standard flexible working arrangement.
If you're looking for a People & Culture role where you can have a voice, work closely with leadership and genuinely influence how the people function continues to develop, we'd love to hear from you.
