The posting

👋 Thanks for stopping by and learning more about this role at Sitemate! ✨🏗️

We’d love to hear from you 👩‍💻👩🏽‍💻🧑🏿‍💻👨🏻‍💻

📝 OVERVIEW

Sitemate is scaling fast, and the People function sits right at the centre of it. As we grow, every person who joins us relies on People Operations getting the fundamentals right, from being paid correctly to being set up well on day one.

In this role you'll own the employee lifecycle end-to-end. From someone's first day to their last, you'll run the payroll, systems and programs that shape their experience at Sitemate, including onboarding, performance and engagement cycles, compensation reviews and offboarding. You'll have genuine ownership and a mandate to rebuild what isn't working, using AI and automation so a lean team can support a much bigger company.

Employment:

- Salary: AU$100,000 - AU$130,000 (excl. Super)

🔧 DAY-TO-DAY

- Own payroll end-to-end across four entities

- Manage payroll cut-offs, process starters, leavers and role changes

- Answer payroll questions from managers and employees and fix issues before the next run

- Run & own onboarding for every new starter: source & provision laptops and equipment, ensure day-one access is complete

- Run offboarding, including equipment recovery, access removal and final pay

- Keep performance cycles, engagement surveys, compensation reviews and levelling calibrations on schedule

- Look after HRIS data quality and reporting

- Document our processes so they don't rely on any one person

- Find recurring manual tasks and automate them

- Maintain and update HR policies across all regions

- Coordinate on-sites and People programs

⚡ CHALLENGES

- Payroll runs across four entities with different cycles and compliance requirements

- Onboarding and offboarding happen weekly with zero room for delays or missing steps

- The function needs to scale without adding headcount, which means automating aggressively

- Keeping payroll deadlines, program cycles and improvement projects all moving when they land in the same week

✅ WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

- People who like making things run smoothly and predictably

- People who spot manual work and want to automate it

- People who are comfortable building process where there isn't one yet

- People who want to own the employee lifecycle end to end

🚫 WHO THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR

- People looking for an HR business partner or strategy role

- People who would rather focus mainly on culture or employee experience programs

- People who want to work in a single country with simple compliance

🎯 SKILLS & TOOLS

Must Have:

- A solid understanding of employment compliance in more than one jurisdiction

- A track record of building and documenting processes that scale

- Strong attention to detail, especially where pay and compliance are involved

- Confidence working with Finance on reconciliations

- Clear written communication and good judgement on when to escalate

- Ability to manage competing deadlines without dropping the details

- Experience with BambooHR, Rippling, Deel or similar

- Exposure to construction, field services or distributed workforces

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.
