The Role
  • Direct and lead a segmented national recruitment operating model spanning frontline (blue-collar), professional and leadership hiring, each with its own service standards and governance
  • Build proactive talent pipelines and a compelling employer brand that reduce reliance on 3rd party providers 
  • Take full ownership of a significant annual vendor and technology budget, driving measurable improvements in cost, speed and quality
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the ELT and General Managers on workforce strategy, market conditions and risk
  • Lead recruitment for the organisation's most strategic and senior appointments
  • Build and develop a team of talent acquisition specialists, establishing strong operating rhythms and a high-performance culture
  • Bring rigour to compliance and governance across the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards, Enterprise Agreements and labour hire arrangements
About You
  • Deep, demonstrated experience leading Talent Acquisition or HR functions at a senior level, ideally within a large, complex, multi-segment organisation with blue and white collar workforces 
  • A genuine track record of designing or transforming recruitment operating models and delivering measurable results
  • Strong commercial acumen, with experience managing significant vendor relationships and budgets
  • A trusted advisor who can influence and earn credibility with executive stakeholders
  • Sound working knowledge of the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards and labour hire governance
  • A background in industrial, manufacturing or construction environments is highly regarded
What's on Offer
  • A senior, high-visibility mandate with genuine executive exposure
  • The opportunity to build and shape a national operating model from the ground up
  • Ownership of a multi-million dollar function with real commercial accountability
  • A Sydney base with a national remit
