This role is all about striking the right balance between maximising system capability and delivering a seamless, meaningful employee experience.

• Owning and optimising key HR systems and modules (including SAP SuccessFactors and LumApps x Beekeeper) 

• Configuring and improving systems in a cloud‑based environment 

• Responding to system issues, questions, and “something’s not quite right” moments 

• Partnering with People & Capability teams to deliver system improvements aligned to our people strategy 

• Acting as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, balancing business needs with a seamless employee experience 

• Supporting system enhancements and new module implementations with a frontline‑first mindset

He kōrero mōu – About you 

This role will suit someone who is practical, people‑focused, and systems‑savvy. We’re keen to hear from you if you have:
