• Prepare and maintain HR letters, templates, checklists, trackers, employee files and process documentation with strong attention to detail.
• Maintain HR data and prepare regular reports and trackers, including recruitment, headcount, probation, onboarding and employee lifecycle information.
• Respond to routine employee and manager enquiries, escalating matters to the Senior People & Talent members where advice, judgement or ER case ownership is required.
• Support lower-risk employee relations processes through meeting coordination, note taking, timeline preparation, draft letters and document management under guidance.
• Assist with policy updates, employee communications, engagement initiatives and People & Talent team projects.
• Provide flexible administration and coordination support to the People & Business Services team from time to time as required.

What you will bring

• At least 12 months’ experience in HR coordination, recruitment coordination, people operations, administration or a similar support role.
• Strong organisation skills, attention to detail and ability to keep multiple processes moving at the same time.
• Confidence communicating with candidates, employees, managers and external contacts in a professional and friendly manner.
• Ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion and maturity.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office; experience with HR systems, ATS tools or employee records systems will be highly regarded.
• An interest in developing your HR, recruitment and employee relations capability in a hands-on team environment.
• Experience in automotive, retail, consumer goods/FMCG, start-up, scale-up or another fast-paced environment will be highly regarded.

What will help you succeed

• You are practical, organised, and calm when priorities change.
• You enjoy detail and follow-through, but you also like working with people.
• You are comfortable asking questions, escalating early and learning from more senior HR team members.
• You can balance speed with accuracy, especially when preparing documents, trackers and employee information.
• You bring a positive, service-oriented approach and want to build a career in People & Talent.
