People and Culture Business Partner

Who We Are:
You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.

We put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

Diversity Matters:
We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!


Key Info:

We are looking for a People & Culture Business Partner who is, first and foremost, an exceptional people manager and a visionary for the employee journey. We believe in growing the business through the growth of our people and are looking for a leader to help us achieve just that.

Reporting to the Head of Retail Operations, you won't just be "managing" a department; you will be the architect of the Lush experience for our staff across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. You will lead a multidisciplinary team, including Safety, L&D, Communication and HR Generalists, transforming them into a powerhouse that supports our retail arm. Your mission is to ensure that every Lush employee feels supported, developed, and inspired from their first day to their last.

1. Exceptional People Leadership Your team is your priority. You will lead the Retail People & Culture team by example, fostering a culture of high trust, continuous development, and psychological safety. You are a mentor who unlocks the potential in your direct reports, ensuring the P&C team is seen as a benchmark for leadership excellence within the business.

2. Visionary Employee Journey Mapping You will take the lead in shaping the strategy and direction of our people culture. You see the "big picture" of the employee lifecycle. From innovative recruitment practices to world-class onboarding and meaningful career progression, you will design a seamless, regenerative journey that makes Lush the most sought-after employer in retail.
