About Evolve Education
Evolve Education is a leading light in New Zealand’s early childhood education sector, with high-quality early learning centres across Aotearoa. Each centre is well-resourced and committed to helping tamariki thrive. At Evolve, we’re shaping the future, preparing young minds for great things in today’s ever-changing world.

In this role, you will:

  • Make a significant impact in the education sector for young tamariki.

  • Manage ambiguity, change, and competing priorities with resilience.
  • Lead from the front - roll up your sleeves and turn business and people plans into reality.

About You

  • You have demonstrated HR leadership experience, preferably from a mid-sized organisation, with experience at the Senior Leadership table.
  • You'll be a person your team and colleagues will want to follow - demonstrating strong stakeholder management skills, energy and passion for what you do.
  • You are adaptable and can balance strategic, operational, and continuous improvement priorities.
  • You can align people priorities with business objectives seamlessly.
  • You value professionalism, authenticity, and creating an environment where people are challenged and supported to deliver at their best.
