Ready to make a real impact?

We’re looking for an experienced Senior People & Culture Business Partner to join MOVe Logistics Group and play a key role in the next phase of our People & Culture journey.

MOVe is an NZX and ASX-listed logistics business with around 800 people across New Zealand. We operate across Freight, Fuel, Warehousing, Specialist Lifting & Transport and Oceans, with the majority of our people working in frontline operational roles. Following a significant period of transformation and reset, our focus is now firmly on growth, lifting capability, operational excellence and continuing to build a strong, accountable culture.

This is a broad and influential role where you'll work closely with leaders across the business while also helping lead and strengthen our P&C function.

The role

Reporting to the GM People & Culture, you’ll lead and coach a team of three Senior P&C Advisors and act as second-in-charge to the GM P&C. You’ll be trusted to provide pragmatic advice, challenge thinking and help turn our people strategy into practical outcomes across the business.

There’s plenty of variety. You’ll be involved in:

• Leading, coaching and developing a team of three Senior P&C Advisors

• Coaching leaders and building leadership capability

• Leading performance management and capability initiatives

• Designing and facilitating learning and development programmes

• Supporting organisational change and restructuring

• Providing senior-level ER and IR advice

• Building effective relationships with unions and supporting negotiations

• Driving talent reviews and succession planning

• Supporting recruitment and onboarding for key roles

• Leading our culture survey and turning insights into meaningful action

• Supporting remuneration reviews and market benchmarking

• Improving people reporting, HR systems and processes

• Helping us continue to strengthen the P&C function as MOVe moves into its next phase of growth

What we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced P&C generalist who is equally comfortable working strategically with senior leaders and rolling up your sleeves to get things done.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• At least 7 years’ experience across People & Culture / HR

• Strong generalist, employee relations and employment law knowledge

• Experience working with frontline, unionised and multi-site workforces

• Practical experience with organisational change and restructuring

• Experience developing performance, leadership or L&D programmes

• Confidence facilitating workshops and presenting to groups

• Strong stakeholder management and coaching capability

• A relevant tertiary qualification

• Experience in logistics, transport or another operational environment would be an advantage (but not required)

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is approachable, down-to-earth and people focuses. You’ll be comfortable challenging the status quo, but you’ll also be someone who builds strong relationships, gets alongside the business and is willing to give things a go.

Why MOVe?

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than a traditional Business Partner role.

You’ll have genuine scope to influence how we develop our leaders, lift capability, strengthen our culture and continue evolving the P&C function. You’ll work across a diverse national business where P&C can make a very tangible difference to our people and our performance.

If you enjoy building, improving and making things happen, we’d love to hear from you.
