Talent Manager

About Future Super Group

At Future Super Group, we use business as a force for good - both in terms of how we run our super fund, and how we take care of our employees. We’re changing the way super is done, by giving people a chance to invest their life savings in companies that don’t harm the planet.

We are looking for a Talent Manager to join our purpose-led team. We exist to build a future free from climate change and inequality, and this role will be critical in helping us develop, motivate and retain the best people to help us reach this ambitious goal.

We strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, mature age workers, people with caring responsibilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) people. Seriously, the problems we face are complex and the more diversity of experiences we can bring to the table, the better our solutions become.

You’ll love this job if you:

• Find superannuation opaque and frustrating; if you had the chance to revolutionise the industry to be better for people, you would
• Like being given free reign to design processes from a blank piece of paper, or licence to throw them out and start again if they’re not working
• Are always researching new ways to do things, and like to experiment and iterate processes constantly
• Get energised thinking about how to make learning and development accessible and meaningful
• Believe that employee retention is an opportunity for an organisation to demonstrate their purpose in every aspect of their business, and isn’t just about dishing up shiny benefits that no-one actually uses
• Like understanding what makes people tick, and using these insights to inform your work and approach
• Don’t think it’s weird that we called our latest Performance Review document “Making Performance Reviews suck less” (even better, you think it’s an appropriate title!)
• Are keen to work in a progressive, inclusive workplace that wants to do things differently

We’re looking for someone who:

• Believes in Future Super’s mission and has a passion for moving Australia’s money out of fossil-fuels and into renewable energy
• Is progressive, open-minded and passionate about making Future Super a place where people can do their best work
• Gets jazzed by helping people develop and progress within their roles
• Has a broad range of HR experience, with an understanding of each stage of the employee lifecycle
• Is energised by the prospect of creating and implementing a progressive learning and development program
• Is up to the challenge of defining and identifying career pathways in a small organisation, where a promotion to the next level isn’t always on offer
• Cares deeply about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and is able to consider all of their work through this lens
• Wants to drive their work, and is hungry to develop and stretch themselves within their role
• Is comfortable making recommendations and owning decisions and outcomes
• Is able to build connections with people at every level of the business
• Is a great communicator, and can change the way they convey information depending on the audience and the situation
• Isn’t above jumping in and lending a hand elsewhere in the People & Culture team if we find ourselves a bit stretched
• Brings their whole selves to work

It would be great if you also had:

• Experience in learning and development
• Experience using data to drive decision making

Don’t tick all the boxes? That’s okay, we like thinking outside the box. We value skills, passion and who you are over what you’ve done or where you’ve studied. So if this job resonates with you, we want to hear from you!

Why would you enjoy working at Future Super?

• A purpose-driven organisation, spending your days working on making this world a better place! The more we grow, the bigger the impact we are making on climate change and inequality
• A proud B Corp organisation that cares about how it behaves inside and out
• Heaps of flexibility to fit work into your life (not your life around our work) and the opportunity to work with your manager to define what that looks like for you now and in the future
• AFR’s Best Place to Work 2022 for the banking, superannuation and financial services sector
• The choice to work from home, from one of our co-working spaces, from anywhere within Australia or even from overseas (for a short period of time)
• Team lunches and company-wide events
• Progressive, people-focused policies and benefits including Menstrual and Menopausal Leave, Mental Health Leave and Gender Affirmation Guidelines and Leave
• We offer employee network groups for people from diverse backgrounds: SuperGenders for cisgender women, trans men and women and  non-binary folks; SuperGlobal for culturally diverse folks; and SuperPride for LGBTQIA+ folks. The groups are a safe, supportive space for people to share experiences and ideas
• 14 weeks’ paid parental leave for all genders and a generous parental superannuation package, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), formal training and development with continuous improvement opportunities, and membership to Bicycle NSW (or your State or Territory’s equivalent) as part of our sustainable transport policy
• Future Super is an equal opportunity employer – we provide flexible working hours, the option to work from home and a laptop you can use to work remotely (this used to be a more differentiating dot-point, but it’s still true!)
