Your Profile
You are a relationship-oriented and proactive People professional who enjoys working close to the business and supporting both managers and employees.

To succeed in this role, you likely bring:
A university degree in Human Resources, Behavioral Science, or a related field
Around five years of experience in a broad People or HR generalist role

The role offers a broad range of responsibilities and the chance to contribute across several areas within People, from manager support and employee relations to recruitment, employer branding, and organizational development.
