HR Advisor (Performance & Development)

HR Advisor - (Performance & Development)

LeaderBrand has been growing fresh produce for New Zealand since 1975. A proud, family-owned business with over 500 people nationwide, they’re a true East Coast success story — and still evolving.

This is a genuine opportunity to get in close to the business. You won’t be sitting on the sidelines — you’ll be working alongside frontline leaders across farming and factory operations, helping lift capability and shape how HR shows up day to day.

If you enjoy being hands-on, solving real problems, and seeing the impact of your work on the ground, this is one worth a look.

Why LeaderBrand:

You’ll join a small, supportive, and nimble HR team that works closely together, enjoys a laugh, and values getting things done. LeaderBrand offers benefits including birthday leave, access to fresh produce to take home, and a genuine commitment to learning, development, and growth — all just five minutes from the beach!

What you’ll be doing:

• Partnering with leaders on day-to-day HR matters
• Coaching through performance, conduct and people conversations
• Supporting the rollout of leadership and development initiatives
• Playing a key role in delivering LeaderBrand’s Performance & Development (P&D) framework — embedding it into how leaders manage, develop and grow their teams
• Helping improve systems, processes and how HR operates

This is a delivery-focused role where your ability to build trust, keep things practical, and follow through will matter.

What we’re looking for:

• Solid HR generalist experience in a practical environment
• Confidence working alongside frontline leaders
• Strong understanding of NZ employment relations
• A down-to-earth, solutions-focused approach
• Someone who enjoys rolling their sleeves up and getting involved

Experience in horticulture, manufacturing or similar operational environments would be a bonus, but not essential.

LeaderBrand is on a journey — evolving its people practices, lifting leadership capability, and continuing to grow as a business. You’ll be part of that. If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact (and not just talk about it), this is a strong opportunity!
