Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Warner Media, LLC. Full time

Welcome to Warner Bros. Discovery... the stuff dreams are made of.

Who We Are...

When we say, "the stuff dreams are made of," we're not just referring to the world of wizards, dragons and superheroes, or even to the wonders of Planet Earth. Behind WBD's vast portfolio of iconic content and beloved brands, are the storytellers bringing our characters to life, the creators bringing them to your living rooms and the dreamers creating what's next...

From brilliant creatives, to technology trailblazers, across the globe, WBD offers career defining opportunities, thoughtfully curated benefits, and the tools to explore and grow into your best selves. Here you are supported, here you are celebrated, here you can thrive.

Primary Purpose of Position:

Act as a true business partner to senior stakeholders across Warner Bros. Discovery ANZ business to drive the people & culture strategy to meet the short and long term needs of the business.

Experience required:

The ideal candidate will be flexible, focused, with a 'can-do' attitude and the ability to thrive in a fast-growing and fast-paced challenging environment. They will have a collaborative leadership style with the ability to influence others into action and to think creatively about solutions. They will be confident in communicating with all levels of stakeholders and be able to build strong relationships with all production and news personnel, including, at times, high profile cast.

They need to be agile and adaptable, with the ability to think on their feet, sometimes in high pressurized situations. If you are a people & culture professional who likes to work methodically through processes this role is probably not for you. This role is often required to work on unique issues which means that there are not always clearly defined policies and processes to follow in these situations. So, if you are comfortable working with ambiguity and want to be able to use your knowledge and expertise to define the best solutions then this role provides that opportunity.

You will need to have good judgement with the ability to balance the needs of the company and people. You will have high ethical standards with demonstrated experience handling highly sensitive information. The majority of your work will be split between working with leadership based in NZ, but you will also cover projects and client groups across Warner Bros. Discovery ANZ.
