We’re looking for an experienced HR Business Partner to support our R&D organisation, with a focus on Product & Design, through a 12‑month period.
You’ll partner closely with Product & Design leaders and their leadership teams as a trusted advisor on all people‑related topics—org design, performance and talent, capability building, and culture. As well as supporting people programs and initiatives. You’ll move comfortably between strategy and execution: shaping the long‑term people agenda for R&D while rolling up your sleeves to solve real‑time issues with leaders and teams.
This role is based in Australia and will work with distributed teams across time zones.
Must‑have
Significant experience as an HR Business Partner (or similar) supporting senior leaders in a complex, matrixed environment.
Experience operating at equivalent level, influencing Director/VP‑level stakeholders and navigating ambiguity with limited oversight.
Strong grounding across core HR domains: org design, performance and talent management, employee relations, rewards, and change management.
Demonstrated experience supporting or leading org design and change in knowledge‑work environments (ideally tech, product, or design‑heavy teams).
Comfortable using data (people metrics, engagement, qualitative insights) to diagnose issues and influence decisions.
Excellent stakeholder management, relationship‑building and communication skills; able to challenge constructively and build trust quickly.
Proven track record of coaching leaders and managers to grow their people leadership capability.
Nice‑to‑have
Experience supporting R&D, Product Management, Design, or Engineering organisations.
Experience working with distributed or global teams across time zones.
Familiarity with modern HR tech stacks (e.g. Workday or similar HRIS, Greenhouse or similar ATS, engagement tools).
Professional HR qualification (e.g. CIPD, AHRI, SHRM or equivalent).
Contract Details & Benefits
Contract type: 12‑month fixed-term contract (on‑payroll).
Competitive salary and benefits aligned to level and market.
Opportunity to influence key Product & Design leadership teams and shape org outcomes during a pivotal period.
Collaboration with a high‑impact People team and peers supporting other parts of R&D.
