People & Culture Manager

2 weeks ago

Hamilton, New Zealand Longveld Full time

**I’m recruiting my replacement**

As the current P&C Manager, I can say this is a genuinely awesome opportunity to work with an award-winning business, a motivated people-first team, and a leadership group that backs the people function fully. If it wasn’t for one of life’s curveballs, I wouldn’t be letting someone take my seat.

In 2024, we knocked it out of the park by winning the **Waikato Business Excellence People & Culture Award**, and we continue with our aim to bring simplicity and heart into everything we do.

**The role**

You’ll be across the **full employee lifecycle**, with plenty of variety in your day. One day you’ll be recruiting or running a development session; the next, you might be refining a process or contributing to strategic planning.

This role has two reports.

You’ll be inheriting well-set-up systems and a tidy platform — however, there’s space to make your mark and bring your own style.

We are ideally looking for somebody who has experience with Health and Safety leadership and knows their way around the NZ legislation (bonus points for a qualification in this space). If this isn’t you at the moment, tell us how you would approach bridging the gap.

**What we’re looking for**

You are an HR specialist with:

- At least 5 years' experience delivering all components of the employee lifecycle
- Leadership experience with a strategic people-first mindset
- A relevant NZ HR qualification
- Confident and practical HR partnership skills
- Top-notch communication skills
- A solid understanding of NZ’s H&S framework; ideally with a relevant qualification

**Why you’ll love Longveld**

We’re a values-led team of courageous people creating remarkable things. That’s not just a tagline — we care about doing right by our people, supporting each other, and having fun along the way. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and excited about where we’re headed.

If you’re someone who thrives in a role with variety, enjoys people-focused work with heart, and wants to work somewhere where culture isn’t just a buzzword — we’d love to hear from you.
