Associate HR Business Partner

Who we are:

Help desk calls are answered from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with an on-call tech covering nights and weekends. From the Melbourne office, we cover clients within about a two-hour drive and support remote sites through RMM tools.

About the role:

Looking for an Associate HR Business Partner who wants to stay somewhere for a while. This role sits on the Operations leadership team and owns the people plan for that group. Expect a mix of planning work and hands-on employee relations. Our headquarters is in Melbourne, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in the US, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Core hours overlap with Sydney business hours until mid-afternoon.

What you'll do:

• Guide reductions in force and restructuring, including selection reviews and communication plans
• Lead annual talent reviews and succession planning for the client group
• Coach managers on performance, feedback and difficult conversations
• Analyze turnover, engagement and headcount data in Workday to spot problems early
• Drive engagement survey action plans with each leadership team
• Advise leaders on org design, spans and layers and reorganizations
• Coordinate with talent acquisition on workforce plans and hard-to-fill roles

What we're looking for:

• 0-2 years of progressive HR experience, with recent time as an HRBP
• Able to push back on leaders with confidence and good judgment
• Experience supporting director and VP-level leaders
• Bachelor's degree in HR, business or a related field
• Working knowledge of US employment law

Desirable:

• Organizational development or coaching certification
• International employee experience (Canada, UK, EU)

Perks and benefits:

• Health insurance through our employer-of-record partner
• Monthly internet allowance
• Public holidays observed per your country
• 20 days paid time off
• Paid parental leave

Start: Within 30 days.
