Job description
Why we need this role
💡 Mindset Over Experience: We care more about your attitude than your experience.
At Amber, we believe that enabling a culture where everyone is set up to do the best work of their lives and feel connected and empowered is the most important thing we can do to ensure our long-term success. We see managers as the key drivers of our people processes and strategy, and People Ops works closely with leaders to reduce friction across the organisation.
As a People & Talent Advisor, you’ll play a key role by supporting the People Operations team to deliver and execute projects that eliminate high friction, amplify community and set our people up for success.
Reporting to the Senior People Operations Manager, the ideal candidate is a fast learner who thrives in a dynamic environment. You don’t wait for permission, you figure things out, pride yourself on being resourceful. You love supporting your colleagues and solving problems creatively. You bring deep attention to detail, curiosity, and a “how can I help?” attitude to everything you do. This role is best suited to someone who has “T shaped” skills: comfortable spanning the breadth of People Ops and Talent Acquisition, and will go deep into certain projects and functions as the business requires.
We are a lean team who likes to simplify the overcomplicated. There is a real opportunity to make a big impact in our small People Ops team and grow with the company. You will be exposed to many learning opportunities as Amber scales, so we are looking for someone who is ready to take the opportunities with both hands 🙂
Responsibilities
What you’ll be doing
- Help our hiring managers to recruit top talent through coordination of recruitment processes and hosting screening interviews
- Some of this hiring will be for roles in EU/UK. The candidate should be comfortable flexing their hours some days outside of the 9-5 in Australia.
- Design and coordinate regular company-wide events
- Manage the back-end of our HRIS, Rippling
- Facilitate the onboarding and offboarding of employees
- Respond to employee queries via Inbox and Slack
- Create process and educational documentation to create a more ‘self service’ employee & manager experience
- Assist the People Ops team with ad-hoc projects as they arise (and they often do!)
Job requirements
What boxes you should tick (mostly)
- A few years experience in People Operations (HR) and Talent Acquisition.
- Experience managing an HRIS and ATS (from the back-end)
- Outstanding communication skills; written & verbal, talking and listening
- Ability to conduct interviews and quickly form judgments on candidate suitability
- Ability to manipulate and analyse data for reporting
- Basic understanding of Australian employment law
- Proven ability to work cross-functionally, building and maintaining trust with internal stakeholders
- Experience coordinating events that build company culture
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience
Nice to haves:
- Prior experience at a growing company, a start-up, or a tech company; understanding the joys and pain points
- Passionate about technology, energy and/or the environment
- Experience hiring technical roles - software engineers, product managers, etc.
