About Future Group

Future Group is not your traditional financial services company – we're a collective of super funds and services committed to changing our planet now for a better tomorrow. When you join us, you’ll become part of a team united by a clear and important mission: to lead the investment movement by advocating and campaigning for a future worth retiring into.

We are looking for someone to join our purpose-led high-growth scaleup and help our People & Culture team reach new heights! As our People Advisor, you'll be the driving force behind ensuring we have the best talent thriving within Future Group, unleashing their full potential every step of the way. You’ll be a trusted advisor and first point of contact for Future Group teams, influencing positive people outcomes across the whole organisation.

Your north star? Transforming our organisation into a talent powerhouse where every individual feels empowered, engaged, and inspired to contribute their best work. With a focus on People Operations, you’ll be responsible for implementing a wide range of innovative People policies, maintaining records within the People stack, and supporting the wider People team with data integrity and reporting.

And the best part? You’ll be surrounded by an exceptional team dedicated to driving positive change. Collaborating closely with the Executive Director of People, Head of People Partnering, Talent & Advisory, Senior Talent & Development Partner, People Partners, and our wider People & Culture team, you'll shape innovative HR strategies and programs. We prioritise compliance with legal requirements, staying informed about industry trends, and seeking feedback to continuously improve. With a supportive environment and a shared commitment to excellence, working with us means embarking on an exciting journey with inspiring colleagues by your side.

We strongly encourage applications from people with diverse lived experience and identities, as the problems we face are complex, and the more diverse our team is, the better our solutions become. We are a team that is all about building a strong workplace culture, that's not only diverse, but competent. We are always learning and doing better together, and holding ourselves to account on our values.

Future Group values lived experience and we encourage applications from people with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, who have caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, people with disability, people who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ people, and people who experience social exclusion because of their social class.
