Network analyst Jobs in Pickering, ON

Briscoe Group | Morningside, Auckland Support Office & Drury, Distribution Centre

About Us

You know us! Briscoes Homeware and Rebel Sport are household names across New Zealand. As an NZX50 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.

This role partners closely with our new Distribution Centre, alongside a portion of our retail network. As such, you’ll be based at the Distribution Centre in Drury three days per week, with the remaining two days spent at our Support Office in Morningside.

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.
