Start your game...

Entain Australia & New Zealand are fearlessly revolutionising the sports, racing and wagering industry. We are committed to delivering exceptional and unforgettable customer experiences, fuelled by creativity, innovation, and a strong connection between our audience and industry. At the heart of our organisation is our People team, dedicated to fostering a vibrant, inclusive culture where every individual feels valued, supported, and inspired to grow both personally and professionally.

We’re looking for a People Services Manager to play a critical role in shaping the foundation of our People function across Australia and New Zealand.

This is a unique opportunity that blends compassionate leadership, a systems-driven mindset, and genuine influence on the employee experience. If you're a values-driven professional who’s passionate about building strong foundations that help individuals and organisations thrive, this is the role for you.

We have offices expanding across multiple locations in New Zealand and Australia. This is a full time role based in our Brisbane office.

We’re committed to a flexible work environment, offering a hybrid model with in-office collaboration on Tuesdays and Thursdays, balanced with the freedom to work from home. This approach supports work-life balance, respects individual preferences, and creates a more personalised and productive way of working.
