About Easy Agile

Easy Agile is an Australian founded bootstrapped start-up. We have four products built on top of Atlassian’s flagship product Jira, sold via the Atlassian Marketplace. Profitable from year 1, we are on a truly unique journey with an emphasis on work/family/community/self balance, while growing a high-performing team. Due to our extremely fortunate position, we are driven by giving back to our community and our people - enabling our people to live the lives they only dreamed of.

Our HQ is in Wollongong and we have an office in Sydney, but you can find us scattered along the coast anywhere from Brighton to Tweed Heads.We offer flexible working, so you can be based anywhere in Australia! We optimise for collaboration and connection face to face as a team each quarter.

We believe that being agile is a mindset, and that true agility unlocks a team’s potential to be happier at work, have more impact in the solutions they’re building, and be more focused on their customer’s success! That’s why our purpose is to help organisations realise the benefits of being agile. We’re proud to call over 1,900 companies our customers, including Netflix, Harvard, Amazon, Lego, Mercedes and Twitter.

This is a fixed-term 12 month parental leave contract role.

Reporting directly to our COO, you will lead a passionate team of 2 who operate across a wide range of generalist People and Culture areas, including people operations, people development, employee experience, performance and recruitment.

You will help support the team to maintain, run and improve our existing programs of work, whilst driving forward the People Strategy to help accelerate the ambitious goals we have set for ourselves.

As a small but mighty team, we need someone who is strategic and happy to be hands-on. You’ll be rolling up your sleeves, personally delivering impactful results and being actively involved in day-to-day operations to ensure we continue to grow and succeed together.

You can be based anywhere along the East Coast of Australia, with the option to utilise one of our two offices in Wollongong or Sydney, as well as attending quarterly team events.

About you:

  • You are a people-first, empathetic leader who has led at least one person in the past. You get genuinely excited about seeing your team members succeed and achieve their career goals.
  • You’re an experienced people operator, with a strong generalist background in human resources, people operations and development.
  • You have a strength in maintaining, running, embedding and improving existing strategies and programs of work, but are also comfortable building from scratch if needed.
  • You’re a trusted partner and advisor across the business. Leaders come to you for guidance and the executive team trust you to make decisions.
  • You have experience driving forward a people strategy, how it impacts the company's strategic goals and the key drivers that influence engagement and experience across the business.
  • You have a solid understanding of the People and Culture Metrics needed to measure health, identify gaps and build meaningful objectives for your team.
  • You understand the drivers behind high-performing, motivated teams and have experience building and maintaining performance programs.
  • You champion diverse perspectives and make hard decisions with compassion.

    • We’ll be excited if you:

  • Have experience working in technology companies at a similar size of scale (50-100 people).
  • Are familiar with situational leadership and know when to be hands-on, working by someone's side and when to create space for them to own it.
  • Know how to build and maintain compensation programs using databases like Radford Data.
  • Have worked in an agile environment.
    • To support you at work and play, here are the fantastic benefits and perks you’ll enjoy at Easy Agile

    - Unique and generous Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP).
    - Flexible working options (because we value outcomes over output).
    - Four paid volunteer days a year to dedicate to your favourite cause.
    - An annual learning allowance of $5,000 to help you up-level your skills.
    - Bi-annual hackathon days to explore new ideas.
    - 2% in additional superannuation contributions per annum.
    - Company-funded parental leave (20 weeks full pay for the primary caregiver and 6 weeks for the secondary caregiver).
    - Summer sessions where you get half days off on Fridays (Dec-Feb) to enjoy the amazing weather as you please.
    - $2000 to put towards your home-office fit out (if you choose to work from home).
    - Quarterly team off-sites to invest in collaboration and connection.
    - Opportunities to travel overseas to conferences to learn more about our customers and agile.

    People over perfection
    If you are excited about this role but not sure if you meet all of the criteria, please apply. Research shows women and minority groups are less likely to apply for roles where they don't meet 100% of the criteria. We value punching above our weight and people over perfection, so go ahead and apply - we'd love to hear from you.
