Are you ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience?
Ayers Rock Resort is searching for a People & Culture Manager to live and work onsite at Yulara, NT, just a 20‑minute drive from Uluru, one of Australia’s most iconic and culturally significant landmarks.
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced human resources professional seeking a challenging and adventurous change. You will live and work at Ayers Rock Resort, taking responsibility for the entire township — from the Airport and IGA to the Hotels, Campground, and all Employee Accommodation.
If you thrive on building strong relationships, supporting managers, and enjoy a role that is highly rewarding and never the same day twice, then this opportunity is for you.
We strongly believe the role of People & Culture is to enable People Managers to manage their teams confidently and effectively. This includes providing clear expectations, practical processes, and coaching leaders to build capability and accountability.
This isn’t a typical People & Culture role. Living and working in this remarkable location offers a unique perspective of Central Australia. Our goal is to provide meaningful employment opportunities for local communities and to empower a growing Indigenous workforce. We are deeply committed to Closing the Gap and are seeking someone who shares these values and wants to be a genuine driver of change.
