Join the Institute as Our New Human Resources Business Partner!
Are you a people-centered HR professional who's ready to make a meaningful impact on a nationally recognised organisation? The Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) is on the lookout for a proactive Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) to be the trusted advisor and support system for all people-related matters across our vibrant, dynamic organisation.
Why Join Us?
The RAIA stands as the leading body for architectural professionals in Australia, representing over 14,500 members who share our mission to elevate the built environment through sustainable and responsible design. As our HRBP, you'll be at the heart of it all, working from either our Melbourne CBD or Sydney Potts Point offices, in a role designed to shape and strengthen our workplace culture.
About the Role
Reporting to the Head of HR, the HRBP is the go-to expert for all things people-related. You'll be providing strategic guidance and operational support across the Institute, driving initiatives that promote a psychologically safe, inclusive, and engaged work environment. This role is perfect for someone who loves to be hands-on, providing end-to-end employee lifecycle support —from recruitment to onboarding, and from development to recognition.
What You'll Achieve:
Culture & Engagement: Champion our values, deliver employee engagement initiatives, and ensure everyone feels a part of something special. Employee Relations: Offer confidential support, facilitate positive resolutions, and foster a healthy workplace. Organisational Development: Design and lead training, development programs, and performance reviews to build a high-performing culture. Change Management: Partner with leadership on impactful projects and support teams through organisational changes. Reward & Recognition: Recognise and celebrate achievements with programs that honor contributions at all levels. What We're Looking For:
Qualified HR Professional: You bring a degree in Human Resources (or related field) and a minimum of 4+ years in a similar HRBP role. Communication & Facilitation: You're known for your ability to connect with people at all levels and communicate complex concepts with clarity and empathy. Problem Solver & Collaborator: You thrive in a team environment, but are equally comfortable working autonomously to make things happen. Driven by Quality & Compliance: With a solid grasp of employment legislation, you ensure the RAIA remains compliant and forward-thinking. Perks of the Role:
Be part of a national team with a genuine impact on an organisation that supports a better built environment. Interstate travel opportunities and flexibility to keep work-life balance in check. An inspiring, collaborative, and inclusive workplace. Bring your passion for people and culture to the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, and help us continue building a workplace as exceptional as the architecture we support.
