  Adelaide Oval

  Nov 2016 - Mar 2017

  As the Senior People & Culture Business Partner, my role was part of the start-up team that formed Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority in 2012/2013. This was a 'greenfields', start-up environment where I was responsible for the development and delivery of the Adelaide Oval People & Culture function. My role was integral to the design and delivery of HR end-to-end life cycle processes and creation of new policies, procedures, systems and ways of working. Once key functions were established, the core focus of my role was to provide HR business partnering to various operational and corporate departments. My role worked in partnership with the Executive Team, General Managers and Senior Managers to support the achievement of key business outcomes and milestones for Adelaide Oval's first few years of operation. Key achievements include implementing new HR systems, including recruitment and selection processes for large scale recruitment and on-boarding of casual staff ahead of Test cricket and AFL seasons. Other highlights included establishing traineeship and apprenticeship programs, overseas talent sponsorship, and the negotiation of two greenfields Enterprise Agreements. Show less
