Here are some of the game-changing things you’ll have the opportunity to be involved in:

Talent Acquisition Strategy & Operations

• Develop M&OP’s Talent Acquisition Strategy for the whole of M&OP (permanent and casual team members) that aims to solve key business problems relating to attraction and retention, looks to the future with a long-term talent strategy in mind and strengthens the position of M&OP in the employment market.
• With delivery support from the Business Partnering team, lead day-to-day recruitment operations, overseeing sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding processes. Collaborating closely with hiring managers, develop efficient sourcing strategies, manage job postings, and leverage technology to streamline operations and enhance candidate experiences, ensuring timely fulfillment of resourcing needs.

• Working closely with our External Communications team, lead the implementation of proactive and reactive internal communications including but not limited to internal communications calendar, internal events and celebrations.

What you will bring to the role:

• Through your highly collaborative and supportive style, your steely focus on both what you deliver (outcomes) and how it is done (behaviour) sees you to be highly effective. You thrive at building and maintaining strong, mutually beneficial relationships and prioritise these relationships in order to successfully deliver in your space.
• Couple this with your deep functional expertise in Talent acquisition and people experience – you’re ready to make a lasting impact on one of the best sport and entertainment precincts in the world.
• You’re detail orientated and equally appreciate the importance of keeping your eye on the bigger picture. A fast pace, ‘lots of balls in the air’ kind of environment is one you thrive in - it’s your quick thinking, tenacious and innate solutions- orientated spirit that keeps you on track.
• You are curious and look for better ways of doing things that balance productivity and outcomes. Data, process and systems efficiency plays a big role in your decision making and you actively advocate improvement projects that improve the experience and outcomes for everyone.
• In our fast-paced, excitingly complex and GROWING organisation – no one day is the same. To thrive, you are resilient and you love jumping into things that might not necessarily be ‘in your job description’. You seek out these opportunities for your own growth and development.
• You care deeply about the people experience. Whether it is supporting a leader to bring a new member into their team, an Guest Services team member working their first (or 50th!) event or a guest coming to see their favourite artist at one of our venues - you consider their experience at every interaction.
