About Bradken

Bradken is a global leader in innovative wear solutions and custom-engineered products for the resources sector. For our more than 3,000 people, that global reach creates opportunities to share expertise, solve meaningful challenges and grow through new experiences. Together, we help the resources sector sustainably advance society.

About the role

HR Services sits at the centre of the employee experience, connecting people, processes, systems and compliance across the Asia-Pacific region.

In this role, you will lead payroll, benefits and employee administration services across 12 countries and a geographically dispersed team in Australia, India, China and Malaysia.

This regional leadership role requires curiosity, adaptability and a genuine interest in understanding how HR Services operates across different countries.

You will work closely with local teams to build knowledge, strengthen service delivery and create a connected APAC function.

This role is based in Australia, and applicants must have Australian working rights. A Bradken office location (Brisbane, Newcastle or Perth) is preferred, although remote arrangements within Australia may be considered for the right candidate.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead, coach and develop a geographically dispersed HR Services team, creating clear priorities, consistent support and accountability across locations.
  • Oversee multi-country payroll, benefits and HR administration, ensuring accurate, timely and compliant service delivery.
  • Translate global priorities into practical regional plans that respond to local requirements and business needs.
  • Strengthen payroll governance, controls, audit management and operational risk across the region.
  • Lead process improvement, standardisation, automation and systems initiatives.
  • Partner with People & Culture, Finance, leaders and external providers to resolve complex matters and improve service outcomes.
  • Use data and service measures to monitor performance, identify risks and guide decisions.

What you’ll bring:

  • At least seven years’ experience in payroll, HR Operations or HR Services, including multi-country payroll, employee administration and benefits.
  • Experience leading and developing geographically dispersed teams through change and competing priorities.
  • A regional mindset and the learning agility to build knowledge outside your existing areas of expertise.
  • An adaptable and collaborative leadership style, with sound judgement and openness to feedback and different perspectives.
  • Strong communication, stakeholder management and influencing skills.
  • Experience in payroll governance, compliance, audit, operational risk and process improvement.
  • Payroll systems experience, including ADP, which is essential, with exposure to UKG/Kronos or similar platforms.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft 365 applications.
  • A tertiary qualification in Human Resources, Business, Accounting, Payroll or a related discipline is preferred.

Please note: Applicants must have the legal right to work in the country where this role is based. Bradken is unable to provide visa or work permit sponsorship for this role.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
