- Permanent role
- Periodic international travel (Irvine, CA)
- Hybrid role, based in Box Hill

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. 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. That means this role is less about deep ER specialism and more about strong, 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.

What you'll be doing:

Generalist HR support

- 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

Learning & development

- 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)

What you’ll bring:

- 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 - if you don't have deep casework experience but bring robust generalist judgement and coachability, we'd still love to hear from you
- Experience designing or delivering training/L&D; content and/or genuine willingness and aptitude to build this skill on the job matters just as much
- 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

What we offer:

- 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

Salary 95000 - 115000 AUD (yearly)

- Discretionary bonus (based on company performance)
- Annual salary reviews
