Te Whiwhinga Mahi | The Opportunity

At Chorus, our People & Culture team plays a pivotal role in shaping the employee experience and enabling our People Strategy, we strive to create an energetic, connected environment that evolves with our customers and our business. As a People & Culture Consultant, you'll be at the heart of that mission, providing vital operational and advisory support across the employee lifecycle. You'll work alongside our Senior P&C Business Partners and leaders across the business to deliver trusted advice, embed best practice, and drive continuous improvement in how we support our people.

This role is perfect for a P&C professional who enjoys variety, influence, and growth. You'll have the opportunity to build your partnering capability by engaging directly with leaders across Chorus - coaching them through performance, development, and employee relations matters, supporting cyclical people processes, and contributing to key frameworks and policy design. Your day-to-day will balance hands-on operational work with meaningful advisory input, giving you a strong foundation in strategic HR delivery while making a tangible difference in our people's experience.

If you thrive in a collaborative, fast-evolving environment where you can stretch your skills, grow your confidence as a trusted advisor, and help shape the future of work at Chorus, this is your opportunity to make that impact.

In this newly created role, we're looking for a confident and proactive People & Culture professional who thrives on variety and collaboration.

• Hold a tertiary qualification in Human Resources (or a related field), with demonstrated HR Consultant experience within Aotearoa, New Zealand.
• Bring sound knowledge of New Zealand employment law and broad experience across the full employee lifecycle – recruitment, remuneration, performance, learning, change, and succession planning.
• Have experience leading HR projects and have hands-on experience with ER case management, including performance, disciplinary, and absentee processes.
• Act with integrity, exercise sound judgement, and take a practical approach to managing competing priorities and expectations.
• Build trusted relationships and collaborate effectively across teams through your clear and professional communication.

To do that, we embrace our mindsets: Be bold, ignite growth, Honour our past, reimagine our future, and Connect communities, empower people. We need people who not only embody these mindsets and the underpinning behaviours but who also inspire others to do the same.
