People & Culture Partner - Australia

At Avanti, we're building a modern People & Culture function focused on leadership capability, employee experience, recruitment excellence, workforce planning and creating high-performing teams across New Zealand and Australia. We're looking for an experienced HR Generalist, Senior P&C Advisor or HR Business Partner to help drive that journey in Australia. 

The opportunity

This is not your traditional HR role. As our People & Culture Partner - Australia, you'll be the key P&C representative on the ground in Sydney, partnering closely with leaders to solve business challenges, build capability, support change, strengthen culture and navigate complex people matters. You'll work as part of a trans-Tasman P&C team while having the autonomy to make a genuine impact locally. 

What you'll be doing

• Partnering with leaders both remote and in Sydney, to build high-performing teams.
• Coaching managers through performance, engagement and employee relations matters.
• Supporting organisational change and culture initiatives.
• Driving employee engagement and leadership growth.
• Providing local oversight of recruitment activity across Australia.
• Helping embed future-focused people practices, processes and ways of working. 

About you

Your CV will show

• 5+ years HR or People & Culture experience.
• Strong Australian employment relations knowledge.
• Experience partnering with leaders and influencing decisions.
• Confidence managing complex people situations.
• Experience supporting organisational change and culture initiatives.
• The ability to work independently, build relationships quickly and balance people outcomes with commercial outcomes.
  
• Financial services or other regulated industry experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential.
  

Why Avanti?

We're on a journey to create the best employee experience in our industry. You'll join a highly engaged People & Culture team that's moving beyond traditional HR and building genuine business partnering capability, manager excellence and a strong performance culture. This is an opportunity to shape what good looks like and be a key driver in our Australian business, with a team that has your back across the Tasman.

If you're looking for a role where you can influence leaders, drive change, build culture and make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
