Searson Buck is partnering with a well-established Tasmanian organisation to recruit a Senior People & Culture Lead into a newly created leadership position offering a rare combination of autonomy, influence and impact.
This isn't a role where you'll inherit a large HR team or spend your days focused solely on policy and reporting.
Instead, you'll play a key role in shaping people strategy, supporting leaders and building practical workforce solutions that help drive organisational success. You'll have the opportunity to influence decision-making, strengthen capability and make a genuine contribution across a values-led organisation.
For the right person, this role offers the chance to take ownership of a broad people portfolio, work closely with senior stakeholders and create meaningful outcomes for employees and leaders alike.

- Leading workforce planning, organisational capability and people initiatives.
- Managing recruitment, onboarding, retention and succession planning activities.




- Providing advice on employee relations matters, workplace investigations, performance management and organisational change.
- Supporting employment compliance, HR systems, processes and policy development.
- Coaching and supporting leaders to effectively manage people and workplace issues.
- Leading learning, development and leadership capability initiatives.
