ABOUT SNM CONSULTING

SNM Consulting is a trusted Australian HR consultancy headquartered in East Perth, Western Australia. We provide practical, tailored HR solutions to a diverse portfolio of clients across industries including construction, automotive, aviation, hospitality, mining, and professional services — nationally and internationally. We partner with our clients as a trusted extension of their team, assisting them with experienced HR guidance and support when they need it most.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a newly created position within SNM Consulting, established to support the Director and the broader team as the business continues to grow. This is a remote role based from a professional CBD office environment in Melbourne, working closely with our East Perth head office via Microsoft Teams.

The Senior HR Coordinator will be the operational backbone of the business — assisting with policies and procedures, supporting back-end HR functions, and providing recruitment support across the SNM portfolio. With two SNM clients based in Melbourne, there may also be the occasional opportunity to attend local client sites to take HR briefs and support client engagement directly.

The Director is predominantly client-facing and on-site with clients. This role is delivered with a high degree of autonomy — you will manage your own workflow, meet deadlines independently, and maintain SNM's high standards without day-to-day supervision. This position is part-time, Wednesday to Friday (3 days per week).
