About The Company

Aussie Broadband is in business to change the telco game. We're a rapidly growing internet service provider with a reputation for providing high-quality internet, transparent customer service and a great place to work. We are proud to have an all-Australian based support team, and don't need to go offshore. We believe it is possible to work smarter, not harder, and keep jobs locally. We've evolved from a start-up in a lounge room in Morwell, later merging with Westvic Broadband, and now listed on the ASX. We are the fifth largest provider of NBN services across Australia. We offer a range of services across the residential, small business and enterprise segments, wholesale and white label segments. Aussie Broadband is also well-known for operating a quality network, with the rollout of our own fibre network across Australia underway. We not only challenge the game in telco, but also other games worth playing - like a focus on inclusion, values that live within the business rather than on the walls, how a rapidly growing company can still feel like a family, how we can make our communities better, and how a regional business can make a national impact.

About the Role

As Head of People for our Wholesale department, your role is to coach senior executives and the leadership team to align the organisations people strategy with the departments optimising organisational structure through the design of a strategic workforce strategy. You will leverage technology for data informed decision-making, enhance employee engagement and retention, and guide organisational change initiatives. This will be delivered through the lens of enhancing an inclusive and diverse workforce and managing and mobilising talent.

At Aussie Broadband we believe difference is something to celebrate. Being advocates for Inclusion and Diversity means our team can bring their whole selves to work and allows us to better represent our customers and the communities that we serve.
