Health & Safety Business Partner APAC

Join our collaborative and results-driven team in Mangere, Auckland, New Zealand where planning excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement are genuinely valued.

At Jack Link’s, we embrace the wild side. We’re not afraid to challenge the status quo, adapt quickly, and put in the hard work required to deliver results. What started as a family recipe has grown into a global FMCG business with strong momentum across the APAC region.

At Jack Link’s, our safety commitment is “Love Your Work” — putting people at the heart of everything we do. We’re now looking for an experienced, hands-on Health & Safety Business Partner – APAC to join our team, based at our Mangere manufacturing site.

This is a high impact operational, on-the-ground role. You’ll bring strong manufacturing H&S expertise and work side by side with operational leaders to embed safety, wellbeing and injury management into everyday work — ensuring our people go home safe and well, every day.

The Role

As the H&S Business Partner, you’ll proactively champion a safety-first culture across our Auckland and Casino (NSW) sites. Working closely with Production, Operations and HR teams, you’ll define, drive and continuously improve Health & Safety, wellbeing and injury management frameworks, systems and reporting across the APAC region.

You’ll partner closely with onsite HR teams, and operational leaders — coaching, influencing and upskilling them in best practice while keeping solutions practical, fit-for-purpose and grounded in real manufacturing environments.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being visible on the floor, building relationships, and making things work in practice — not just on paper.

Key Areas of Focus:

H&S and Wellbeing Best Practice

Champion, educate and partner with leaders and teams to embed safe ways of working into daily operations. You’ll take the time to understand our processes, risks and challenges to provide tailored, pragmatic advice that supports both safety and productivity.

Reporting and Insights

Own Health & Safety reporting across APAC, providing clear, actionable insights that drive continuous improvement. Lead incident investigations, ensure follow‑through on actions, and partner with ACC and injury management providers to support effective return‑to‑work outcomes.

Compliance and Continuous Improvement

Ensure compliance with New Zealand Health & Safety and Employment legislation, with oversight of Australian H&S requirements (experience here is advantageous). Use data and insights to identify emerging risks, strengthen governance, and continuously improve systems and outcomes.

Wellbeing and Care

Champion wellbeing initiatives that strengthen resilience, connection and care for our people, bringing fresh thinking to how we support mental, physical and workplace wellbeing.
