Strategic Px Business Partner

Join to apply for the Strategic PX Business Partner role at Ministry of Justice - New Zealand

Overview

If you enjoy partnering with senior leaders in a complex environment and across diverse workgroups to make a positive strategic impact, this role could be for you.

This is a strategic HR role focused on enabling organisational success through people, workforce planning, leadership capability, and future workforce strategies.

In this role, you'll be more than an advisor — you'll be a trusted strategic partner, helping leaders plan their workforce, build leadership capability, and design people strategies that enable business goals.

While some operational HR work is part of the role, the main focus is strategic influence, workforce planning and future capability development.

You'll use people data and trends to provide insights that inform decisions, and you'll lead or advise on organisational change, culture and engagement, and capability initiatives across your portfolio.
