Where Your Career Story Gets Interesting
Sense of Self is one of Australia's most admired wellness brands.
With a growing team, a second venue opening in Sydney and ambitious plans ahead, they're looking for a People & Culture Manager to shape how every team member experiences the business, from their first interview through to leadership development and career growth.
Reporting directly to the Founder and working closely with the leadership team, you'll bring the People & Culture function in-house and help create a consistent, values-led employee experience across every location.
If you love building culture, developing leaders and creating workplaces where people genuinely want to stay and grow, this could be the role you've been waiting for.
Why You'll Love Working With Sense of Self
Founded in Melbourne and featured in Vogue, The Design Files and AFR, Sense of Self has become one of Australia's leading wellness destinations.
At its core is a simple mission: to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and each other.
As the business grows, they're committed to ensuring the employee experience is every bit as thoughtful as the guest experience.
You'll join a leadership team that genuinely values people, invests in culture and is building something meaningful.

What Makes a Great Fit
You may come from hospitality, luxury hotels, premium retail, wellness, beauty or another service-led environment where customer experience and people experience go hand in hand.
You'll bring:
5+ years' experience in a broad People & Culture or HR role
Strong experience across recruitment, employee relations and leadership coaching

A practical, hands-on approach balanced with strategic thinking
