Olivia Rynne

Collaborate with senior leadership in Product Engineering to strategically drive people outcomes across a portfolio of 500+ employees spanning New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the USA, and the UK. Previously partnered with Customer Leadership teams covering Customer Experience, Customer Operations, Sales Enablement, and Marketing.

Key Outcomes:

• Organizational Transformation: Led the disestablishment of 100+ roles during Xero’s largest-scale Reset, leveraging strategic change management and organizational design to achieve business objectives.
• Employment Relations (ER): Partnered with leadership to strengthen ER capabilities and mitigate legal risks through targeted coaching and effective performance management strategies.
• Driving a data driven approach to employee engagement, DIB and remuneration.

As a People Experience Advisor at Xero I worked closely with HRBP's and People Leaders in our Engineering function. I provided HR coaching and advice across ER, performance management, recruitment, remuneration strategy, people engagement, change management and people analytics.

As part of the Human Capital service line, I supported multiple Government Agencies on a wide range of projects. Including: project management support for a national programme, designing and implementing a new customer-centric structure for a major government department, supporting in the development and embedding of a department wide change management framework, conducting culture assessments and workshops for senior leadership and operating model analysis for a major government agency.

As a HR Advisor, I provided support, coaching, and dynamic people solutions to managers and employees across Fonterra New Zealand. This included supporting serious misconduct across multiple collective agreements, delivering Employment Relations training, providing remuneration guidance, supporting and coaching performance improvement.

The Business Graduate programme consisted of three rotations across HR. This covered our HR Advisory function, Learning and Development and Business Partnering.
