**About Argenta**

We are in the animal health business, partnering with our clients in the areas of Research and Development (R&D) and manufacturing to produce pharmaceuticals for both farm and companion animals. Originally founded in 2006 by a New Zealand chemist with an entrepreneurial mindset, Argenta’s vision is _“To advance world-class treatments and therapies for healthier and happier animals”_. Our recipe for success has been the uniqueness in our vision and our people. Argenta now has operations across 6 sites and growing, with locations in New Zealand, the United States, Scotland, Spain, and Germany and almost 700 employees globally.

The Manurewa site is predominantly focused on manufacturing, producing both solid and liquid pharmaceuticals that are distributed across the world as well as being used in NZ. We play a critical role in the global business as the largest manufacturing unit, and with the largest workforce based in a single location.

**About the role**

We are a small team of four supporting our 230 plus employees in our only NZ based site, covering everything people related from payroll to IR to strategic org design.

Due to our team mate leaving in April for Parental Leave we are on the look out for a HR Advisor superstar to cover for a period of 12 months.

Reporting to the Head of People and Performance - NZ, the key purpose of this role is to provide transactional HR services across the site. This role will manage recruitment for core operational roles and also deal with low level ER issues. This role acts as a trusted advisor for Team Leaders and Supervisors ensuring compliance with local legislation and internal governance.

- All HR admin aspects of the employee lifecycle
- Recruitment and the onboarding of new employees
- Contract and variation letter generation
- Employment Relations Supporting cyclical P&P processes

**About you**

To be successful in this role, you will need to be highly organised, have a very strong attention to detail and excel at juggling multiple priorities at once.

**Your background, experience and attributes will include**:

- A minimum of 2-3 years of HR advisory experience in a corporate or manufacturing environment
- At least intermediate level in Microsoft Office and knowledge of HRIS systems
- Understanding of regulatory, policy and process requirements in NZ
- Demonstrated experience in supporting the management of ER issues
- Demonstrated knowledge of best practice recruitment processes
- Excellent relationship building skills with the ability to quickly build credibility with leaders.

**Why Argenta?**

On offer is an opportunity to work for a successful and rapidly expanding business where your input will be valued, your skills will be developed, and you will be rewarded with a competitive salary.

We thrive on autonomy but succeed on collaboration, being part of a global business can mean the occasional meeting at odd hours, so we trust our people to know what they need to do and embrace flexible working. Talk to us about what may work for you.

If the sound of this opportunity excites you, please put together a cover letter which reflects who you are and why this role is of interest to you, attach your CV and apply.
