Your Role
At IAG, we’re powered by purpose and driven to make the world a safer place. We’re looking for an experienced Employee Relations professional to take a lead role in shaping how we meet our legislative, industrial, and compliance obligations across Australia and New Zealand.
In this role, you’ll lead the development and implementation of governance frameworks, policies, and strategic initiatives that ensure compliance with employment laws, enterprise and collective agreements, and internal policies. You’ll be a trusted advisor on complex employee relations matters, driving policy development, managing change, and supporting key people and culture activities like embedding legislative changes, providing strategic ER advice to the business, and reviewing policies and procedures.
You’ll work closely with our internal legal team, partner with leaders across People & Culture, and stay ahead of external regulatory trends to ensure we remain compliant and future-ready. Your work will directly influence how we engage with our people and support our leaders – while proactively managing organisational risk.
If you’re ready to drive high-impact projects, influence strategic outcomes, and help shape the future of employee relations in a purpose-driven, fast-paced, trans-Tasman organisation, we’d love to hear from you.
