Are you an experienced HR professional who enjoys building trusted relationships, coaching leaders and supporting teams across fast-paced operational environments?
Signature Hospitality Group is seeking an engaging and commercially minded HR Business Partner to join our People team on a parental leave contract.

Based in our Melbourne Support Office, Southbank, you will partner with leaders and teams across our Western Australian and South Australian operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys balancing strategic people priorities with the practical, day-to-day needs of a diverse, multi-site hospitality business. Travel may be required, however most your day-to-day success will be based on relationship building through our Melbourne based teams and remote connection opportunities.

About the role

As the HR Business Partner supporting our West Coast portfolio, you will build strong relationships with operational leaders and venue management teams across WA and SA.

You will provide practical, responsive and commercially sound advice across the full employee lifecycle, including:

• Coaching managers through performance, conduct and employee relations matters
• Supporting workplace investigations, disciplinary processes and grievance management
• Providing advice on employment legislation, modern Awards, policies and workplace obligations
• Supporting workforce planning, retention, succession and leadership capability
• Partnering with talent and operational teams on resourcing priorities
• Identifying people trends, risks and opportunities across the portfolio
• Building trusted relationships with venue teams through regular communication and site visits

About you

You are an approachable, confident and solutions-focused HR professional who can build credibility quickly and provide clear, practical advice.

You will ideally bring:

• Previous experience as an HR Business Partner, Senior HR Adviser or experienced HR generalist
• Strong employee relations, performance management and case management experience
• Sound knowledge of Australian employment legislation and modern Awards
• Experience supporting a multi-site, hospitality, retail or operational workforce
• Strong coaching, communication and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to balance employee experience with commercial and operational priorities
• Confidence working across geographically dispersed teams

Hospitality experience will be highly regarded, but most importantly, you will understand how to support operational leaders with advice that is practical, timely and easy to apply.

Why join Signature Hospitality Group?

At Signature Hospitality Group, our people are at the heart of everything we do.

You will join a supportive and collaborative People team and work across a portfolio of recognised hospitality brands, including The Sporting Globe, TGI Fridays and Varsity.
This role offers the opportunity to build strong partnerships across WA and SA, contribute to meaningful people initiatives and make a genuine impact on the experience of our leaders and venue teams.
