People, Talent and AI Specialist

About the role

Valocity Limited is seeking a People, Talent and AI Specialist to join our team in a full-time capacity based in Auckland CBD, Auckland. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of our people and talent strategies whilst leveraging artificial intelligence to drive organisational success. In this pivotal role, you will bridge the gap between traditional HR practices and innovative AI-driven solutions, ensuring our organisation remains at the forefront of people management excellence. You will work collaboratively across departments to implement cutting-edge talent solutions that enhance recruitment, employee engagement, and overall organisational performance.

Co-ordinate practical AI learning, workshops and capability building

Turn AI use cases and successes into learning across the company

Who we're looking for

You may have 2–5 years' experience across People and Culture, talent, recruitment, organisational development or people operations, ideally within technology or another fast-moving environment.

But we're hiring for potential as much as experience.

You'll probably be someone who is naturally curious, highly organised and energetic. You like people, but you also understand that great culture comes from high standards, clear accountability and helping talented people perform at their best.

You get things done.

You're comfortable talking with everyone from a new graduate to the CEO. You're commercially minded, exercise good judgement and don't wait to be told what needs fixing.

And you're genuinely excited about AI. You don't need to be an AI expert. You do need to want to learn quickly, experiment and help other people become more capable.

Why Valocity?

You'll be joining a New Zealand-founded global technology company working with leading financial institutions across multiple international markets.

You'll have direct exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to influence how we recruit, develop, engage and enable our people as the company scales.

Most importantly, this is a role you can grow with.

For the right person, it is an opportunity to build a career at the intersection of people, technology, AI and global growth and help shape the organisation we become next.

If you're looking for a conventional HR role, this probably isn't it.

How to Apply

If you want to help build an exceptional technology company and an exceptional team at the same time, we'd love to hear from you.

Please send your CV and a short cover letter explaining why this opportunity excites you and how you would help both our people and our business grow.
