People Partner - 12 month, fixed term contract

Deputy is a global SaaS remote-first workforce management company with hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco and London, plus team members working remotely across the United States. Our platform serves over 1.5 million workers and 375,000 workplaces across 100+ countries. We are backed by top global investors and recently achieved Unicorn status. 

At Deputy, we’re improving the world of work, one shift at a time, for 80% of the world’s workforce: hourly workers. These are the dedicated employees who keep our world running – from baristas to nurses, cleaners to delivery drivers, florists to factory workers. Despite their vital role in society, most workplace technology has focused on those workers who sit behind a desk, but at Deputy, we transform the frontline. When businesses use Deputy, their workplaces thrive – the business is more profitable, compliant, and productive, while the workers are more engaged and happier at work.

We're becoming an AI-native company, a commitment that means you'll be empowered (and expected) to use AI tools and thinking in your day-to-day work. You'll have the training, support, and freedom to use AI responsibly and creatively to spark ideas, solve problems faster, and unlock new ways of working.

If you’re passionate about creating solutions that put people first and helping businesses and their teams thrive, join us at Deputy and make an impact where it matters most!

As a Lead People Partner, you will serve as a key advisor and coach to leaders and people managers within our DEP (Design, Engineering, and Product) and Trust (Legal, Compliance, Security & IT) teams across the APAC, EMEA, and Canada region. You’ll be instrumental in implementing core People programs, guiding performance and engagement initiatives, and helping shape the overall employee experience for some of Deputy’s largest and most dynamic teams.

You’ll play a critical leadership role in driving execution of people strategies, partnering cross-functionally with People Ops, Talent, and Comp & Benefits to build a high care, high-performance, inclusive, and people-first culture.

This role will be joining our Sydney team on a 12-14 month fixed term contract.
