**About the opportunity**
At Fonterra we employ over 22,000 people worldwide and have some of the largest collective employment agreements in the private sector.

Our Employment Relations Managers work to create an environment that supports business improvement and manages the risk of employment related issues.
Reporting to the Head of Employment Relations Advisory, your role will provide legal advice and case management support across the business in a way that is legally compliant, consistent with our values and strengthens our key stakeholder relationships.
In addition, your duties and responsibilities will include:
- Advisory and Coaching: Providing expert advice, support and coaching to our managers and HR teams on the full range of employment related issues including conduct/behaviour, underperformance and medical incapacity matters, interpretation of employment agreements and other employment processes.
- Investigations: Conducting investigations into ER related complaints and disputes (including via our Whistle-blower Hotline).

- Training and Development: Contributing to training programmes and documentation to build internal capability.
**About you**
With a tertiary qualification in Law and a current practising certificate, you will have extensive experience in employment law within either a specialist employment law team or an in-house environment.
While we’re open to looking at people from all kinds of industries, businesses and organisations, Fonterra is a highly complex organisation and so if you have experience navigating complexity, that’s going to be an advantage.
You have exceptional stakeholder management skills and are able to operate at a strategic business partnering level, and needless to say, your communication skills - both written and verbal - are awesome and highly innovative as you will be engaging with a wide range of audiences. You will thrive in a highly collaborative team environment but also know how to work autonomously.
