- Manage recruitment from sourcing to offer, and coach managers on performance, development conversations, engagement and retention, building trust with people at all levels.

- Draft and review employment contracts, position descriptions and HR policies, and keep clients across changes to employment law and what they need to do about them.

- Manage and improve client HRIS, using HR data to spot trends and recommend practical improvements.

- Bring 3 to 5 years' experience as an HR Advisor or Generalist (consulting,



outsourced or multi-client experience desirable), a degree in HR, Business or a related field or equivalent experience, and a current driver's licence with access to a car.

Benefits of Working With Us

- Have the flexibility to choose your other 2 working days, split between our North Sydney office and home, with Wednesdays set for client sites.

- Build broad consulting experience working with clients across different industries.

- Be part of a small, supportive HR Advisory team of 4, with easy access to our Finance Advisory, IT and AI teams when you need a different perspective.

- A values-driven, collaborative culture where your advice has real, visible impact for the businesses you support.
