The posting

Company Description

EastPack is a grower-owned kiwifruit business and one of New Zealand’s largest post-harvest operators, with six sites across the Bay of Plenty.

As a business with people at its heart, EastPack has a diverse permanent workforce and a seasonal workforce that grows to more than 4,000 people. The scale, variety and complexity of the people environment is significant.

We are looking for a GM Human Resources who sees that complexity as an opportunity, not a challenge.

This is a role where you can genuinely make your mark. Working alongside the CEO and Senior Leadership Team, you will shape how EastPack attracts, develops and retains its people, builds leadership capability and plans for the workforce of the future.

Job Description

What you'll be doing

You will have the opportunity to influence a business that is investing heavily in technology and automation, and continually evolving how it operates. At the same time, you will need to stay close to the people who make the business work — from senior leaders and managers through to the thousands of people who join EastPack during its peak season.

You will lead the people and safety strategy across the business, working closely with leaders to build capability and strengthen performance. Workforce planning will be a major focus, ensuring EastPack has the right people and capability for the future as automation continues to change the skills and workforce required across its operations. With thousands of people joining the business during peak season, this is a significant operational undertaking requiring strong workforce planning, efficient processes and a recruitment model that can deliver at pace without losing the human connection.

Importantly, this is a highly visible role. You will be expected to get out amongst the business, understand what is happening on the ground and build strong relationships across a very diverse workforce. You will need to be just as comfortable challenging a decision around the leadership table as you are having a conversation with someone on the floor.

Ultimately, your role will be to make sure EastPack's people strategy isn't something that sits alongside the business strategy — it is part of it.

Qualifications

About you

This is not a role for someone who wants to lead HR from behind a desk.

We want someone who gets energy from people and from the operation. Someone who can move comfortably from a conversation with the Board or CEO to walking the floor, talking to employees and understanding what is really happening. Someone who is strategic enough to think about the future, but practical enough to roll up their sleeves and get things done.

You'll need to be curious, driven, resilient and straight-up, with the confidence to challenge when required and the emotional intelligence to build trust across a highly diverse workforce.

Experience in a large operational, manufacturing, primary industry, logistics, food or other high-volume environment would be valuable. More important, however, is how you lead and relate to people.

Additional Information

Why EastPack

This is an opportunity to join a growing, innovative business where people genuinely matter. EastPack is investing in its future — in technology, its operations and, importantly, in the capability of its people.

For the right person, this is a role with real influence, visibility and the opportunity to make a lasting difference. You’ll work closely with the CEO and leadership team, while staying connected to a diverse workforce and an operation that is never standing still.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to have genuine influence at the leadership table, shape the future of the workforce and make a lasting impact on an evolving business.

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.
