Description:
Are you dedicated to fostering a high-performing, inclusive, and engaging workplace? Do you excel in a fast-paced environment where you can offer HR guidance, lead people initiatives, and support leaders? We’re looking for an enthusiastic and driven People & Culture Business Partner to join our dynamic and collaborative People team.
About Us:
Retail Food Group (RFG) is a global food and beverage company headquartered in Queensland. We are Australia’s largest multi-brand retail food and beverage franchise owner which also roasts and supplies high-quality coffee products. Our company is committed to achieving results and supporting our franchise partners while embracing challenges in a friendly, inclusive environment that values both franchise partners and team members.
Why you’ll love this role:
At Retail Food Group, we're more than just a leading food and beverage company — we’re a collective group of iconic brands, passionate people, and bold ambitions. As we enter an exciting new chapter of cultural evolution, we’re looking for a dynamic and hands-on People and Culture Business Partner to join our small but mighty People function.
Reporting directly to our Head of People and Culture, this is a high-impact role where you'll help bring our culture vision to life, working alongside leaders to embed meaningful change across our business.
This is your chance to:
- Be embedded in the business, working closely with leaders to deliver meaningful people outcomes.
- Own and drive high-impact initiatives, including a full EVP refresh and cultural programs.
- Play a lead role in driving transformation as we work towards a more connected, inclusive and values-led workplace.
- Get stuck into all aspects of the people function — from strategy to day-to-day support.
Key Responsibilities:
- Partner with leaders across the business to provide expert advice and support on all aspects of the employee lifecycle, including performance, engagement, development, and change management.
- Lead and drive key people initiatives, including the transformation of RFG’s Employee Value Proposition (EVP), culture programs, and leadership capability frameworks.
- Coach and guide leaders through employee relations matters, ensuring compliance with Fair Work legislation, awards, and best practice approaches.
- Support cultural transformation, working closely with the Head of People and Culture to embed values, behaviours, and initiatives that enhance engagement and alignment.
- Deliver HR projects across areas such as onboarding, employee experience, reward and recognition, and internal communication, ensuring they are meaningful and fit-for-purpose.
- Collaborate across teams to ensure consistent and people-centred implementation of policies, frameworks, and procedures.
- Use data and insights to inform recommendations, measure impact, and drive continuous improvement in people processes and outcomes.
- Act as a change champion, helping leaders and employees navigate change with confidence and clarity.
What we’re looking for:
We’re after someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, take initiative, and make a genuine impact.
- Minimum 3 years’ experience in a generalist or business partnering HR role.
- Proven success leading or supporting culture, engagement, or EVP-related projects.
- Solid understanding of Australian employment law and experience handling ER matters.
- Strong communicator with the ability to influence and build trust at all levels.
- Adaptable, proactive, and excited by fast-paced change.
- Experience in retail, franchising, or hospitality environments is a bonus.
What’s in it for you:
- Join a business on the move, where you can make a real difference.
- Work with a forward-thinking and supportive Head of People and Culture.
- Flexibility, autonomy and the chance to own your space.
- A fun and vibrant team that values collaboration and creativity.
- Flexible work arrangements.
- A new and modern office renovation on it’s way.
- Direct exposure to executive-level conversations, with opportunities to influence key business decisions.
- A supportive environment that encourages professional growth and career development.
- The opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the company’s culture and long-term success.
