•
Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with the broader P&C team and Centres of Excellence to support operational people outcomes and deliver aligned solutions.

•
Project support: Support the P&C Manager and wider team on people initiatives focused on operational effectiveness, culture, development and continuous improvement.

Experience: Minimum 2 years’ experience in an HR Coordinator / HR Administration role, ideally in a high-volume, process-led environment.

Judgement and curiosity: A sharp, solutions-oriented approach, with the ability to ask the right questions, seek context and apply sound judgement.

•
Growth mindset: A genuine interest in developing into ER/advisory work and building broader P&C capability over time.

•
Proactivity: Comfortable working independently, progressing work without needing to be chased, and taking ownership of outcomes.

•
Continuous improvement mindset: Someone who actively looks for smarter, simpler and more consistent ways of working.

•
Communication: Clear, professional and empathetic written and verbal communication skills.

•
Systems confidence: Confidence using HR systems such as Workday or similar, and working with people data and reporting.
