Hindi Speaking HR Generalist/Advisor

Are you an experienced, people-first HR professional who thrives on building trust, solving problems, and making a difference every day?

Our globally renowned client is seeking a Hindi-speaking HR Generalist/Advisor to join their dynamic team based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. This is a newly created position, ideal for someone who brings energy, empathy, and strong HR knowledge to support operations across Australia and, to a lesser extent, India.

• Compliance with policies and local labour laws
• Managing employee benefits and external vendors
• Supporting performance and absence management
• Ensure HR documentation and processes are accurate, up-to-date, and compliant
• Collaborate on regional and global HR projects as needed

What We're Looking For:

• 6-11 years' experience in an HR Generalist or Advisor role in Australia
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business, or a related field
• Solid understanding of Australian employment laws and HR best practices
• Fluent in Hindi and English - able to communicate clearly and comfortably in both
• Warm, approachable, and culturally aware - someone people trust and feel comfortable speaking with
• Confident managing sensitive issues with professionalism and a solutions-focused mindset
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and communication skills
• Able to work on-site 4-5 days a week (Monday to Friday)
• Must have full working rights in Australia (Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident)
