About the role

At SunRice, our people are at the heart of everything we do - and delivering a great employee experience starts with systems that simply work. That’s where you come in.

• Enable efficient system processes across the employee lifecycle (recruitment through to offboarding)


• Provide clear, actionable insights to HRBPs, leaders and stakeholders


• Respond to ad hoc data requests, simplifying complex information


• Partner with People & Culture teams to support annual cycles such as performance and remuneration reviews


• Contribute to the HRIS roadmap, driving system improvements and enhancing employee experience


• Collaborate with Payroll, Finance, Safety and external stakeholders to ensure compliance and alignment

• Ability to translate complex data into meaningful insights


• Understanding of data governance, integrity and compliance in HR systems


• Strong stakeholder management and collaboration skills


• High attention to detail and accountability for quality outcomes
