You’ll also enjoy being part of an open, collaborative HR team of around 12, with a wealth of experience and plenty of support when you need it.

What You’ll Bring

• Demonstrated experience managing complex ER matters
• Strong understanding of NZ employment legislation
• Ability to provide pragmatic, solutions-focused HR advice
• Confidence working in a fast-paced, operational environment
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
