People & Performance Leader
Beaver Process EquipmentAbout the role
This is a special opportunity.
Previously advertised, we've now sharpened the role's focus. We want a smart, hands-on driver who wants to build the machine, not someone looking to strategies and delegate.
We have a proven business strategy, the financial resources required, and a compelling market opportunity. Your mission is to partner with the Founder and senior leaders to build the A-Player team and high-performance culture required to deliver our $100M+ growth strategy.
This is NOT traditional HR. No politics, no red tape, no BS. Just great people doing great work.
This role is about building the 'People Engine' to deliver our $100M growth strategy.
Your accountabilities will include:
-
Talent Acquisition: Own our recruitment capability, including personally recruiting the critical senior roles that move the needle.
-
A-Player Standard: Own our A-Player Standard to ensure we only hire, develop, and reward the right people.
-
Performance Framework: Implement high-impact feedback systems that drive a high-performance and high-accountability culture.
-
Org Planning: Partner with the Founder and senior leaders to design an organisational plan that will deliver the strategy.
-
Remuneration Design: Own remuneration planning and incentive design to attract, align, drive, and retain the right talent.
-
Development & Succession: Coach our leaders to become world-class people managers and provide pathways for high-potential talent.
-
HR Tech Stack: Select and implement a simple, high-impact HR stack, leveraging AI tools to drive productivity.
-
Frontline Manager Focus: Equip our managers to handle 99% of people and performance management, ensuring the frontline manager leads the team (with HR coaching the manager only when required).
This is a group-level role across multiple businesses, with your primary focus being our flagship, Beaver Process Equipment. Our group is currently 120 people total and growing at 20–30 per year.
You believe in the philosophy of 'people managing people'. You understand that your role is to hire the right talent, build the performance system, and mentor the leaders – not to do the managing for them.
