We’re seeking a motivated and hands-on People & Culture Executive to support our Sydney CBD hotels and shared services hub. This role will suit a solid HR generalist who is looking to grow into a future HR manager or business partnering role.
With flexibility to consider either full-time or part-time employment, this is a great opportunity for a HR professional looking to broaden their generalist experience in a multi-site hospitality environment. Working closely with hotel leaders and the People & Culture team, you’ll play an important role in delivering practical HR support, strengthening workplace culture, and creating positive employee experiences across our portfolio.
You’ll be involved in a diverse range of People & Culture activities, from recruitment and employee relations through to learning and development, compliance, and portfolio-wide initiatives.
If you enjoy building relationships, solving problems, and helping people and businesses thrive, this role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact while continuing to develop your HR career.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide day-to-day People & Culture support and guidance to hotel leaders and team members across our Sydney properties and shared services hub.
- Coordinate recruitment, onboarding, and talent development activities to attract and retain great people.

- Support learning and development initiatives, including brand, service, and leadership training.
- Contribute to employee engagement, wellbeing, recognition, and culture initiatives across the portfolio.
- Assist with workforce reporting, HR documentation, and the implementation of portfolio-wide People & Culture initiatives.
- Build strong relationships with leaders and team members, promoting consistent and effective people practices.
- Assist the People & Culture Business Partner with employee relations matters, including performance management, workplace investigations, grievances, and disciplinary processes.
About You
You’re approachable, organised, and passionate about creating positive workplace experiences. You enjoy working with people at all levels, are comfortable navigating a variety of HR matters, and take a proactive, solutions-focused approach to your work.
You’ll bring:
- Experience in a generalist HR or People & Culture role, ideally within hospitality, hotels, or another service-focused industry.
- A sound understanding of Australian employment legislation and modern awards, or a willingness and ability to develop this knowledge.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to support and influence stakeholders.

- Excellent organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities across multiple sites.
- A high level of professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail.
- Initiative, a willingness to learn, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
Hotel experience will be advantageous, but we’re equally interested in someone with the right attitude, a strong HR foundation, and a genuine passion for hospitality.
