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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
What you'll be doing:
n
Generalist HR support
n
n
Be a hands-on HR point of contact for the Australian business across the full employee lifecycle
n
Provide practical, day-to-day advice to people managers, using sound judgement on when to resolve directly and when to escape
n
Support delivery of broader HR initiatives and projects
n
Build strong working relationships across the business so people see you as an approachable, reliable presence
n
Deliver L&D; programs across our sites, including leadership capability, compliance and role-specific training
n
Build and maintain a rolling L&D; calendar aligned to business needs and identified skills gaps
n
Design training content and materials - workshops,



e-learning, facilitator guides in collaboration with the People & Culture Manager, partnering with external providers where necessary
n
Travel to and facilitate face-to-face L&D; sessions at our Irvine site
n
Manage Talent administration and tracking in HiBob (Talent Module)
n
n
What you'll bring:
n
n
3-5 years' HR generalist experience with solid, broad exposure across the employee lifecycle
n
Exposure to employee relations matters (grievances, performance management or similar) is valued - if you don't have deep casework experience but bring strong generalist judgement and coachability, we'd still love to hear from you
n
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
n
A tertiary qualification in HR, business or a related discipline is preferred but not essential if you bring the relevant experience
n
Experience with an HRIS (HiBob experience is an advantage)
n
Practical working knowledge of Australian employment law (Fair Work Act, NES, Modern Awards)
n
A genuine "doer" mindset, you'd rather build and deliver than only advise or coordinate
n
A confident, engaging communicator and facilitator, able to run a room and adapt your style for different audiences
n
Willingness and ability to travel internationally, including multi-day trips to the US and Asia-Pacific, as initiatives require
n
n
What we offer:
n
n
A collaborative, inclusive culture where your contributions are valued from day one.
n
A supportive team in our Box Hill facility with the tools and processes to help you succeed and grow.
n
6 weeks paid Parental leave
