Lead the workplace relations and compliance activities for any acquisitions, integrations, including working with partners to ensure REA is compliant with local legislation as appropriate.
Lead the preparation of materials for executive and board committees and presentations as required.
Who we're looking for We're looking for a People and Culture practitioner with direct experience in workplace relations and case management, ideally with knowledge of WHS.
We also want someone with a passion for compliance and the ability to communicate this to the business in a brand-aligned, understandable, and meaningful way.
We want you to bring some flair and creativity to REA and support our already great culture to be even better.
Ideally the successful candidate would have:
A degree in Human Resources, Employee Relations or Workplace Relations, or Employment Law.
Extensive experience (typically 8-10 years) in workplace relations, HR management, or legal compliance, with a track record of leadership and strategic oversight.
In-depth knowledge of employment laws, regulations, and best practices.
Exceptional problem-solving, conflict resolution, and negotiation skills.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and build relationships across all levels of the organisation.
Proven ability to manage complex projects and drive organizational change in the areas of governance and compliance.
In-depth understanding of Fair Work obligations and employment case law to provide sound advice and capability uplift for the business.
An understanding of the WHS legislative requirements in Australia.
Excellent reporting and analytical skills to monitor the efficacy of the function and support board and committee reporting.

This is a place to learn and grow.
We're committed to your development – both professionally and personally.
Your experience with us is something we take seriously.
We offer: A hybrid and flexible approach to working.

Our Because We Care program offers employees volunteering leave, community grants, matched payroll giving, and our Community Café donates 100% of revenue to charity.
Hack Days so you can bring your big ideas to life.
Performance recognition programs because hard work should never go unnoticed.
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion We are committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We believe teams with diverse ideas and experiences are more creative, more effective, and fuel disruptive thinking - be it cultural and ethnic backgrounds, gender identity, disability, age, sexual orientation, or any other identity or lived experience.
We know diverse teams are critical to maintaining our success and driving new business opportunities.
