Interim People Partner
Major Transformation Programme | 9-Month Contract | £350 per day (Outside IR35) | UK-Wide Travel
We're partnering with a nationally recognised consumer brand undergoing a significant business transformation across its UK operation.
This is far more than a systems implementation. It's a business-wide change programme that will reshape ways of working, strengthen leadership capability and embed new behaviours across a large, multi-site environment.
We're looking for a commercially focused Interim People Partner to play a critical role in making that happen.
If you love working at the heart of the business, thrive in fast-paced operational environments and enjoy helping leaders successfully navigate change, this is an opportunity to make a visible and lasting impact.
The Role
Working closely with senior operational leaders, you'll drive the people agenda throughout a major transformation programme, supporting implementation, adoption and long-term embedding across a geographically dispersed workforce.
You'll act as a trusted partner to leaders across the operation, balancing strategic change delivery with hands-on people support, coaching and employee relations expertise.
This is a role for someone who is comfortable being out in the business, influencing stakeholders, challenging thinking and turning change plans into operational reality.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

- Partnering with Heads of Operations and senior leaders to deliver a major transformation programme.

- Managing complex employee relations matters and mitigating business risk.
- Supporting workforce planning, organisational effectiveness and operational performance.
- Using data and insight to influence decision-making and shape people priorities.
- Acting as a trusted advisor and critical friend to key stakeholders.
You'll have a proven track record operating within large, operationally led businesses where pace, complexity and stakeholder management are part of everyday life.
We're particularly interested in individuals who have worked within:

- The credibility to coach, challenge and support operational leaders at all levels.

The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join a well-known consumer business at a pivotal point in its transformation journey.
You'll be at the centre of a high-profile programme, working with senior leaders to shape the future of a large operational workforce while driving meaningful change across the organisation.
