About Future Group

Future Group is not your traditional financial services company – we're a collective of super funds and services committed to changing our planet now for a better tomorrow. When you join us, you’ll become part of a team united by a clear and important mission: to lead the investment movement by advocating and campaigning for a future worth retiring into.

We’re seeking a People Operations Lead who’s ready to help shape the backbone of our People Team (PT) function, ensuring smooth, efficient PT operations that empower our team to thrive. In this role, you’ll be at the helm of crucial PT services like reward and benefits, compliance, HRIS management, and onboarding/offboarding processes. Your contributions will help us continue our mission by providing compliant and effective PT processes that align with our broader business goals.

Your north star: Drive efficient PT operations and contribute to an environment where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to make a difference.

And the best part, you’ll be joining an amazing team. Our crew thrives on collaboration, innovation, and purpose. Expect to work alongside passionate colleagues who are united in their drive to lead positive change. At Future Group, diversity, creativity, and excellence are at the heart of everything we do.

We strongly encourage applications from people of diverse backgrounds, lived experiences, and identities. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and supported. If you require any adjustments during the recruitment process, reach out to our talent team at [email protected] – we’ll happily accommodate your needs to ensure an equitable experience for all.

Future Group values lived experience and we encourage applications from people with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, who have caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, people with disability, people who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ people, and people who experience social exclusion because of their social class.

• A proactive mindset when it comes to implementing best practices and improvements in PT processes.
• Strong analytical skills to track PT metrics and reporting.
• Experience managing stakeholder relationships and working closely with legal, finance, and senior management teams.
• An understanding of employment laws and regulations, ensuring compliance in all PT matters.

Nice-to-haves:
