About the opportunity

About You

  • Enterprise people programs: Design and deliver performance management, remuneration and other organisation-wide programs that are practical, contemporary and aligned with Healthdirect’s strategy.
  • Service delivery: Build a consistent, self-service-first service model with clear standards and escalation pathways. Use Jira insights, streamlined workflows and accessible guidance to improve responsiveness, quality and employee experience.
  • Employee relations and WHS oversight: Guide complex matters, ensure sound escalation and procedural fairness, maintain compliant policies and embed psychosocial safety obligations.
  • Recruitment operations: Set the strategic direction for recruitment, overseeing systems, reporting and vendor performance.
  • People leadership: Lead, coach and develop a multidisciplinary P&C team, creating clear accountability, sustainable workloads and strong collaboration. Build capability in the responsible use of AI, and workforce analytics. 

What you'll bring to the role 

  • Proven experience leading a multidisciplinary team across people operations, talent acquisition or business partnering.
  • Experience in the implementation or administration of a human capital management platform such as Dayforce, including configuration, workflows, integrations and reporting.
  • Demonstrated capability in workforce analytics and reporting, together with experience or a passion for applying AI and workflow automation to improve processes with sound judgement on privacy, data governance and human oversight.
