About Us

Sydney Restaurant Group (SRG) is an Australian-owned hospitality business with a portfolio of iconic waterfront venues and dining experiences across Sydney. We’re a high-performing, fast-growing group with a reputation for excellence - not just in what we serve, but in how we lead and support our teams.

We’re in an exciting stage of growth, and we’re looking for a HR Business Partner to help shape the next chapter of our people journey. This is a stand-alone HR role working closely with the Group General Manager and a Senior HR consultant to deliver high-quality, practical people support to a dynamic, passionate workforce.

You’ll be stepping into a strong existing HR structure with solid foundations across onboarding, contracts, and systems - your role is to bring those systems to life day-to-day, while building great relationships with venue managers and helping us grow and develop our people.

What You’ll Do

partner with venue leaders and department heads to provide practical HR guidance

lead and manage end-to-end onboarding and contract processes

support employee relations matters with structure and care

help shape and roll out staff training and development initiatives

maintain and update employment documentation, records and HRIS

advise on award interpretation and workplace compliance

spend time in venues to understand team dynamics and build trust

work closely with the Group General Manager, EA, Finance Manager and external HR consultant to align on people priorities

What You Bring

3+ years in an HR generalist or business partnering role, ideally in hospitality, retail or similar

strong understanding and application of employment legislation, Modern Awards, and HR principles

strong communication and interpersonal skills - you’re confident building trust with a wide range of people

proactive, solutions-focused, and ready to dive into both the big-picture work and the detail

confident navigating employee relations matters with fairness, consistency and clarity

solid experience in hands-on performance management, and how to coach leaders through it

good systems hygiene - you know how to keep HRIS data and contracts tidy and compliant

ability to work primarily on-site at our head office in Sydney, with regular visits to venues across the group

a practical, no-nonsense approach with a bit of energy and humour along the way

Why Join Us

hybrid work environment - one WFH day per week, and flexibility built into the role

work with a young, dynamic, and hard-working team who love what they do

opportunity to work from stunning venues and restaurants on Sydney Harbour

strong HR systems already in place - you won’t be starting from scratch

genuine support from leadership and an experienced external HR consultant

free meals while working in-venue + great dining discounts across the group

autonomy, trust and the chance to shape how people and culture show up in a growing group

opportunity to grow with a business that will double its workforce in the next 2–3 years
