Briscoe Group | Morningside, Auckland Support Office

About Us

You know us! Briscoes Homeware and Rebel Sport are household names across New Zealand. As an NZX
50 listed company and one of the NZ’s leading retailers, we're in an exciting phase - a new Distribution Centre nearing completion, cutting-edge merchandising platforms, next-gen concept stores, and a team that's genuinely fired up about where we're headed as the economy picks up steam.

The Role

We‘re looking for a hands-on HR Business Partner who is willing to get stuck in. You’ll be the trusted HR expert for our managers across our nationwide store network – helping them nail the fundamentals and get the best from and for their teams, every day.

You'll be the go-to person for practical HR advice, working alongside two other HR Business Partners. This role is dynamic and people-centric, involving travel around Auckland and beyond to be where your managers need you most.

Your Day-to-Day:

Support managers with recruitment, performance conversations, remuneration decisions, and developing their people

Solve problems – spot trends, address localised people issues, and implement practical solutions

Drive talent conversations – succession planning, identifying high performers, and supporting career progression

Manage employment relations – provide guidance on processes and foster positive workplace relationships

Champion safety – maintain H&S knowledge, support safety initiatives, ensure incident reporting

Deliver results – support managers to achieve their people targets (engagement, leave management, absence, training compliance)

What You Bring

Must-haves:

HR qualification or solid equivalent experience

Strong employment relations advisory experience

Proven ability to coach and influence managers at all levels

Deep experience in recruitment and performance management

Excellent communication skills (both written and verbal)

Sharp analytical and problem-solving abilities

You are:

A natural relationship-builder who managers seek out and with whom they’ll toss around ideas

Confident working with diverse, distributed teams and navigating the realities of fast-moving operational environments

Practical and solution-focused – you have the ability to balance competing priorities

Energised by fast-paced retail environments

Genuinely passionate about helping people succeed

Happy to hit the road when needed

Why You'll Love It Here

Variety – no two days are the same (recruitment one hour, ER issue the next, a focus on developing team and managers after that)

Real impact – you'll see the direct results of your work across our stores. Because our frontline delivers our top and bottom lines

Professional development – we invest in growing your capability and you'll have opportunities to mentor others

Supportive team of experienced HR colleagues

Growth phase – be part of the next chapter as we scale up

We're an Equal Opportunity Employer, a Platinum Partner of the incredible First Foundation, and proud supporter and promoter of Cure Kids. If you're a practical HR professional who loves the exciting pace of retail and helping managers and their teams excel, let's talk.
