Description

Coach the leaders. Shape the culture. Drive the change.

At Contour, we don’t believe in “HR on the sidelines.” We believe in partners who step into the arena, coaching leaders, building capability, and challenging them to be better.

As our People & Culture Business Partner, you’ll be the go-to for managers who want to grow, and the spark that turns good leaders into great ones. You’ll be hands-on in performance, culture, and coaching. Driving clarity, accountability, and confidence at every level.

If you’re bold enough to say the hard things, back leaders in the tough calls, and build capability in the middle of scale and chaos, this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do

Coach with impact → Be the trusted advisor who equips leaders to hold performance conversations, navigate conflict, and grow their teams.

Challenge & enable → Push leaders to step up, with candour, confidence, and clear frameworks.

Build leadership muscle → Run workshops, clinics, and 1:1 coaching that stick long after the session ends.

Drive performance → Help leaders set goals, run reviews, and act fast on underperformance.

Shape culture → Embed rituals, values, and engagement practices that actually land.

Navigate ER with backbone → Guide managers through issues with steadiness and speed, always aligned to Fair Work.

Partner in growth → Work side by side with leaders in a high-growth, fast-paced environment — ensuring people and performance stay front and centre.
