Imagine tomorrow with us, where your career can grow and you can create positive change.\nHe kupu mō mātou | About us\nOur Talent Acquisition team connects great people with opportunities across the Co-op. We partner with hiring teams throughout Fonterra to deliver positive recruitment experiences and help build the capability our organisation needs.\nWithin our team, this role provides hands-on recruitment delivery across defined job families while supporting broader Talent Acquisition priorities through candidate sourcing, screening and talent-pipeline activity.\nMō tēnei tūranga | About the opportunity\nAs an Associate Talent Acquisition Partner, you’ll own end-to-end recruitment across defined, repeatable job families, managing activity from an approved vacancy through to offer acceptance across a national portfolio.\nThese are roles where the hiring need and recruitment approach are well understood, allowing you to focus on great execution, pace, candidate engagement and consistent delivery.\nYou’ll work directly with hiring managers and candidates to:\nSource, screen and assess talent against clearly defined requirements.\nManage recruitment activity from vacancy approval through to offer.\nBuild and maintain strong pipelines for recurring recruitment needs.\nProvide timely updates and a positive, consistent candidate experience.\nSupport sourcing and screening across other priority areas when needed.\nThis is a hands-on delivery role with plenty of freedom in how you organise your work. We’ll give you clear outcomes, the tools and support to achieve them, and trust you to work out the best way to get there.\nThings won’t always be perfectly mapped out. Priorities will shift, sometimes you’ll be working with incomplete information, and there won’t always be a process telling you exactly what to do next.\nWe want someone with the judgement and experience to make a call, take action and keep things moving.\nYou’ll manage multiple candidates, vacancies and stakeholder relationships at once, so you’ll need to be organised, adaptable and comfortable working without lots of structure around you.\nMōu | About you\nYou’ve already built solid, hands-on recruitment experience and are ready for greater ownership.\nIdeally, you’ll bring around 12-24 months’ end-to-end recruitment experience in a fast-paced delivery environment, where you’ve been personally accountable for progressing multiple vacancies and candidate pipelines at the same time.\nYou’re used to roles that need filling, candidates who need answers and priorities that can change before lunchtime. You know how to pick up a vacancy, quickly understand what’s needed, find and engage candidates, assess fit and keep the process moving through to offer.\nYou’ll bring:\nHands-on end-to-end recruitment experience, including personally sourcing, screening, assessing and progressing candidates through to offer.\nExperience managing multiple live vacancies and candidate pipelines simultaneously, with accountability for delivering outcomes.\nA strong bias for action, with the judgement to make a call, get started and adjust as you learn.\nGenuine ownership and comfort working with ambiguity, changing priorities and freedom in how you structure your work.\nA highly coachable approach and openness to doing things differently. You actively seek feedback, apply it quickly and want to keep developing your recruitment craft.\nYou’ll also bring strong candidate-management skills, confidence having direct and practical conversations, and the organisation required to move quickly without becoming messy.\nYou don’t need to arrive as the finished product. In fact, we’re looking for someone who is still keen to learn and grow.\nBring us strong recruitment foundations, initiative, curiosity and a genuine openness to coaching, and we’ll give you the opportunity to build from there.\nWe’ll give you clarity on what success looks like, the tools to get there and support when you need it. We won’t give you a script for every step along the way.\nTā mātou oati | Our Commitment to You\nWe care for our people globally. Our comprehensive benefits support your wellbeing, development and work-life balance:\nFair and equitable pay\nHealth and wellbeing programmes, including medical and mental-health support\nProfessional development opportunities\nCareer-growth support\nFlexible or hybrid working where possible\nParental-leave support\nEmployee recognition\nSupport for community involvement and cultural connection\nNgā Mahi | A Career of Opportunities\nAt Te Mātāpuna Fonterra, be inspired by purpose and guided by our principles and values.\nCreate goodness for generations and make a global impact at a local level.\nAs part of our Co-operative, be an everyday creator, imagining what Fonterra, dairy and you can be here.\nTātou Tātou | Join Us\nDoes this sound good to you?
