About the team
People and Culture are dedicated to fostering an engaged and empowered workplace. One that’s strong, diverse and where our team members have exciting career pathways to choose from. We do it by making people’s lives easier through better experiences, useful tools, and by providing ongoing opportunities to learn and grow.
The Opportunity
We have an opportunity for an experienced P&C Business Partner to join our P&C Operations Partnering team, following a recent internal promotion. You’ll partner with senior operational leaders across large, complex and geographically dispersed Coles Liquor portfolios, helping them navigate people and organisational challenges and make sound decisions that support business performance.
Working closely with leaders, you’ll translate business priorities into practical people strategies and solutions across workforce planning, organisational design, leadership, capability, engagement, talent, performance and change. This role goes beyond providing P&C advice. You’ll use data, business context and your P&C expertise to understand what is driving an issue, identify the right response and influence leaders through to implementation.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with senior leaders to understand business priorities, identify people and organisational challenges and provide commercially informed advice and solutions.
- Coach and constructively challenge leaders, helping them test assumptions, consider different options and make sound decisions on complex people matters.
- Use people, workforce and business data to identify trends, underlying issues, risks and opportunities, and translate these into clear recommendations.
- Translate business needs into practical P&C solutions, working across talent, performance, capability, leadership, engagement, culture and workforce planning.
- Strengthen leadership, talent and performance outcomes by helping leaders identify capability needs, address performance issues, develop talent and build stronger teams.
- Shape and deliver people and change initiatives across the portfolio, supporting effective planning, stakeholder engagement, communication and implementation.
- Lead core P&C activities across your portfolio, including workforce planning, talent, performance and engagement cycles, using these to support better leadership decisions and people outcomes.
About you and your skills
You’ll bring strong experience in a P&C Business Partnering or broad generalist P&C role, ideally within a large, complex or fast-paced organisation, with a track record of partnering directly with senior leaders. Importantly, you’ll be able to demonstrate how you’ve moved beyond providing advice to understanding business problems, identifying the people or organisational issues behind them, shaping practical solutions and influencing leaders through to implementation.
This position will be based in Victoria, with some interstate travel required to support stakeholders in Western Australia and South Australia.
