We’re Alignr — a modern recruitment partner helping ambitious businesses build smarter and scale faster. This time, we’re partnering exclusively with one of Australia’s most trusted charities. They’re building structure, lifting capability, and investing in people — and now need a P&C Manager who can take the reins and make their mark alongside.

Are you looking for…

• A role where you can rip it apart and rebuild it better?
• Leadership exposure — including managing your first direct report?
• A genuine development pathway into GM HR?
• A supportive leader who will back you, but also give you space to drive and deliver?

This is a great role for an experienced P&C Manager to be a part of, setting foundations or an experienced HR business Partner wanting to step into a leadership position!

What’s in it for you?

• While an office-first culture, they offer flexibility for important things, such as appointments/school pick-ups, as well as during times of projects when working from home is required.

• Paying up to $130,000 Base + Super + $18k tax-free salary packaging
• Full-time, permanent role
• Open to part-time> 0.9/0.8 FTE - preferably spread over 5 days
• Kew Location - Parking on site
• Office-first culture
• Flexible hours: start between 8 am–9:30am, finish accordingly
• One direct report (Internal Comms) → first formal leadership opportunity
• Clear development plan → succession to GM HR
• Be part of a business where your ideas land and actually get implemented
• Exposure across the full people lifecycle: ER, systems, recruitment, onboarding, strategy

Your next company & team
The business is at a foundational stage — processes are light, structure is emerging, and now’s the time to put your stamp on it.

• Headcount: ~150, with growth on the horizon
• CEO and Exec Team are supportive, but decision-making can be slow → this role requires patience, resilience, and influence
• You’ll report to a strong leader (GM HR) who wants someone capable, trusted, and ready to step up
• You’ll manage a part-time Internal Comms person (your first direct report), while collaborating across all levels of the business — from CEO to frontline managers

This is a place for fixers,builders, drivers, and doers who get energy from seeing the cogs turn as new systems and structures come to life. There is a degree of patience required in this role and environment; you’ll need to have multiple plates spinning at once.

What You’ll Do

• Lead engagement surveys and deliver actionable outcomes
• Own onboarding, SOPs, and process design
• Support leaders on ER matters, recruitment, and return-to-work
• Guide leadership capability uplift, patient, but firm in coaching
• Balance admin with strategy: contracts, systems, reporting, plus bigger projects
• Be visible, hands-on, and trusted across the business
• Foster strong stakeholder relationships across Exec, SLT, and people leaders

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

• Love building structure and seeing the impact of your work
• Are confident but humble, able to guide leaders without alienating them
• Can manage admin while driving strategy and change
• Have resilience for a business still finding its rhythm
• Are collaborative, people-focused, and practical, not just policy-driven
• Want real ownership, visibility, and career progression

This Role Isn’t For You If…

• You need a rigid structure or a fully built HR system already in place
• You prefer to be told what to do rather than find the answers yourself
• You don’t enjoy admin, there’s still a fair bit here to manage
• You prefer to be handballed the tasks by leaders instead of empowering them
• You get frustrated easily when decisions move more slowly than preferred
• You’re looking for a “maintain and monitor” role — this is all about building and delivering

Must-Haves

• Absolute minimum 5 years of experience as an HR Generalist
• Proven capability in ER, onboarding, process design, and systems
• Strong knowledge of Fairwork legislation
• Resilient, self-starter attitude — comfortable building and guiding without a playbook
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders, influence at senior levels, and connect the dots
• Commercial mindset — balancing people's needs with business outcomes

Nice-to-Haves

• Background in child care, not-for-profit, or other people-focused industries
