About Us

Wingboy is Sydney's home of big flavour, electric atmosphere, and friendly service. Since opening our doors in 2021, we've grown to five venues across Sydney; Haymarket, Randwick, Newtown, Parramatta and Penrith, with a team of around 100 people. We're looking for an experienced HR Manager to own our people function and keep Wingboy a great place to work.

- Proactive, solutions-focused, with high attention to detail
- A supportive leader who fosters a positive workplace culture

What's In It For You
