About the role
Full-time | Melbourne Fulfilment Centre _____________________________________________________________________________________________ You're not a desk HR person. You're the one who knows every team lead by name, spots a people issue three days before it lands in your inbox and still gets the paperwork right. That's exactly who we're looking for in this People Partner role. If you're the kind of HR professional who builds trust by showing up, handles tough ER conversations without flinching and gets genuinely excited about using AI to work smarter - keep reading.
What You'll Do Be embedded. Be visible. Be the person both floor leaders and team members come to first. You'll manage complex ER cases end-to-end, coach frontline leaders through real performance conversations and drive high-volume recruitment cycles — all while keeping Marley Spoon's culture and compliance standards firmly in place across every shift. You'll also be at the leading edge of how People & Culture adopts AI at Marley Spoon: using tools to draft smarter, analyse faster and act with more confidence — while keeping human judgement exactly where it belongs: at the centre of every decision. You'll have genuine autonomy to make calls. We'll back you. What Success Looks Like People challenges surface before they become problems, because you're present and trusted. ER cases are handled with confidence, care and documentation that holds up. Recruitment and onboarding run efficiently — and new starters feel it from day one. AI tools are part of your workflow, not a novelty. What You Bring Proven experience as an HR Business Partner or senior HR generalist in manufacturing, FMCG, logistics, or fulfilment. You know the Fair Work Act, NES and Award interpretation — not because you memorised them, but because you've applied them under pressure. You handle complexity without drama. You coach without hovering. And you're genuinely curious about what AI can do for People & Culture — not just in theory, but in practice. Relevant HR
