About the role

We are hiring a Senior HR Manager to lead key people systems and help shape the employee experience at HEO.



This role is responsible for delivering the foundations of a high performing, values aligned team environment, with a focus on three core areas: culture, people experience and compliance.

You’ll be joining a fast paced, high‑tempo organisation, where priorities shift quickly and clarity isn’t always handed to you. We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguous environments, can quickly identify high impact actions, and has the judgement to distinguish between what needs to be perfect and what just needs to get done. You’ll need to be adaptable, proactive, and able to work autonomously. This is a challenging role, but one with huge impact and opportunity to make it your own.

You will lead the implementation of essential HR processes across onboarding, learning and development, HRIS, performance, policy and people operations. You’ll also play a central role in shaping how we work together, ensuring our internal culture is thoughtful, inclusive and aligned with our values.

This is a hands on role where you’ll be responsible for both designing and delivering key people systems. As part of the Operations team, you’ll work closely with the Head of Operations and founders to build and improve the systems that support our team as we grow. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership, deliver meaningful change and contribute to the development of a excellent place to work.

- Coordinate recruitment processes, including job postings, interview scheduling and candidate communications.
- Maintain internal people documentation and guidance to support team clarity and consistency.
- Support employee relations, including performance conversations, policy implementation and workplace investigations.
- Contribute to engagement, wellbeing and recognition initiatives that reflect our values and support clear, values aligned communication.
- Build a sense of shared culture and connection across our international team (Australia, US, UK, Japan), helping to foster engagement and alignment in a distributed environment
