Planet Innovation (PI) is an award-winning medtech contract design and manufacturing company. We partner with leading global healthcare organisations and high-growth start-ups to create innovations that improve patient outcomes. Headquartered in Melbourne, with a growing presence in Irvine, California, we are experiencing strong demand for our consulting services across our client base.

About the role

We're looking for a broad, hands-on People & Culture Advisor to join our close-knit team. This is a newly created, true generalist role - one day you might be helping a manager work through a tricky people question, the next you're building a training module or standing in front of a room delivering it, including at our Irvine, CA site. You'll report to the People & Culture Manager, who stays closely involved in day-to-day employee relations across the business. This role is less about deep ER specialism and more about robust, well-rounded generalist capability - someone who's comfortable across the full employee lifecycle and willing to build new skills, particularly in learning & development, as they go.

Key responsibilities

- Be a hands-on HR point of contact for the Australian business across the full employee lifecycle

- Provide practical, day-to-day advice to people managers, using sound judgement on when to resolve directly and when to escalate

- Support delivery of broader HR initiatives and projects

- Build strong working relationships across the business so people see you as an approachable, reliable presence

- Deliver L&D; programs across our sites, including leadership capability, compliance and role-specific training

- Build and maintain a rolling L&D; calendar aligned to business needs and identified skills gaps





- Design training content and materials - workshops, e-learning, facilitator guides in collaboration with the People & Culture Manager, partnering with external providers where necessary

- Travel to and facilitate face-to-face L&D; sessions at our Irvine site

- Manage Talent administration and tracking in HiBob (Talent Module)

About you

- 3–5 years' HR generalist experience with strong, broad exposure across the employee lifecycle

- Exposure to employee relations matters (grievances, performance management or similar) is valued

- Experience designing or delivering training/L&D; content and/or genuine willingness and aptitude to build this skill on the job

- A tertiary qualification in HR, business or a related discipline is preferred but not essential if you bring the relevant experience

- Experience with an HRIS (HiBob experience is an advantage)

- Practical working knowledge of Australian employment law (Fair Work Act, NES, Modern Awards)

- A genuine "doer" mindset, you'd rather build and deliver than only advise or coordinate

- A confident, engaging communicator and facilitator, able to run a room and adapt your style for different audiences

- Willingness and ability to travel internationally, including multi-day trips to the US and Asia-Pacific, as initiatives require

Benefits

- A collaborative, inclusive culture where your contributions are valued from day one

- A supportive team in our Box Hill facility with the tools and processes to help you succeed and grow

- 6 weeks paid Parental leave

- Community service leave

- Fresh fruit and barista coffee machines

- Employee Assistance Program with free confidential counselling sessions

- Annual flu shots

- Discretionary bonus (based on company performance)

- Annual salary reviews
