Octopus Deploy is one of Australia’s fastest-growing software companies (and we’re taking on the world). After bootstrapping for a decade, in 2021, we quietly raised Australia's second-largest ever venture capital raise, accepting a USD 172M minority investment from Insight Partners.

We are a mission-driven People team. We aim to support Octopus’ growth by attracting the best talent and supporting them throughout their career trajectory with us.

We’re looking for an experienced HR Manager based in New Zealand to join our team and be responsible for various People related activities, including compliance, recruitment, remunerations & benefits, engagement, and much more.

What’s the most critical aspect of this role? You are a People person - that comes first. You enjoy building relationships across the business and understanding the needs of people at different stages of their careers.

There are two sides to this role. One is talent acquisition. You’ll lead the recruitment process from start to finish, collaborating with hiring managers and treating the candidate experience as a top priority. The other is people and culture. You’ll act as a true generalist, working on various activities such as compliance, engagement, training and performance management.

You'll Be A Great Fit For This Role If You:

Are a true generalist who understands all aspects of a People & Culture function and is committed to excellence in candidate and employee experience.
Can demonstrate considerable experience leading: a people and culture team, talent acquisition campaigns, engagement activities/initiatives, performance evaluation processes, remuneration & benefits analysis, salary benchmarking, and compensation cycles.
Possess solid knowledge of employment law and can develop policies, procedures, and guidelines that are compliant yet practical.
Proficient in Google Workspace or MS Suite to produce quality business reports, presentations and other documentation.
Are Tech-savvy - you will be our go-to person for several systems and will lead systems implementation and training.
Can communicate ideas effectively, both verbally and in writing. The ability to write good documentation is a must-have.
Are used to working remotely in a friendly, collaborative, and effective manner. Being able to work autonomously is essential.
Are willing to accommodate the requirements of working across different time zones - sometimes, you’ll need to work outside of business hours.
