People Operations

, we’re famous for flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken , but want to know our secret? It’s our people, it’s you ❤️! At Nando’s, it’s people-first, chicken-second. Here’s what’s on the menu for you:
Be You: Bring your authentic self to work in a diverse, inclusive family, with genuine care and commitment.
Flex Your Schedule: Seriously, you get to set your work schedule to fit your lifestyle.
Balanced Work life: Split your time between our state-of-the-art Richmond Restaurant Support office, overlooking the Yarra River and working from home

What’s Cooking?
As our Nando’s People Operations Coordinator you will be the first flame in our People & Culture grill — the friendly face behind our ANZ P&C Inbox and Workday magic! Whether it’s answering burning questions, pointing folks in the right direction, or putting out small fires before they spark, you’ll be the heartbeat of our P&C operations. ❤️
No experience? No worries! We’re after passion, drive, and a hunger to learn — not a packed resume. Whether you’re a fresh grad or just starting your People journey, bring the vibe, we’ll bring the training. ️
What You’ll Be Doing:
Inbox Extraordinaire: Be the friendly firekeeper of our People & Culture Inbox and Workday HQ — answering questions, sorting the spicy from the mild, spotting trends, and serving up sizzling solutions before the flame gets too hot.
Visa Vibes: Do a weekly sweep of visa statuses across ANZ. Advise our Nandocas and leaders on work rights, flag anything spicy that needs escalation, and help smooth things out when there’s a visa hiccup.
Study Break Hero: Review and approve study break requests.
Process Pro: Team up with the P&C crew to keep our HR processes fresh and flaming hot — updating templates, guides, and docs that make work life smoother for all.
People Partner Power-Up: Support our People Partners by prepping the background sauce for employee relations — think investigations, grievances, and more.
Workday Wonder: Help fire up Workday training and coordinate learning events that are as smooth as our PERinaise.
Data Whiz: Gather the right ingredients for our P&C reporting and help serve up insights that drive smart, people-first decisions.
Always Leveling Up: Bring fresh ideas and energy to help our P&C team work smarter, faster, and even better. Continuous improvement? That’s your thing.

Workday Wizardry (bonus points!): If you’ve worked with Workday before, we’re already impressed. If not, we’ll teach you the steps.
