Senior People Partner – Business Lead
What can you expect?
Mercer Super has grown significantly, now supporting more than 850,000 members to achieve a brighter future. The Senior People Partner Mercer Super is a newly created role and will be a key appointment in the People Function focussed on enabling the priorities of the business.
As a member of the Mercer Super Executive Team, and the People Leadership Team, this role will provide trusted advisory support to the CEO Mercer Super and their executive team, collaborating with other colleagues in the team to bring the full portfolio of the People Function to life.

Key for the successful candidate will be the ability to play these many roles seamlessly and within a global matrix environment, while also ensuring deliverables are met in line with endorsed delivery plans.
