⌚ Working hours: 0845 - 1730
💰 Salary: Up to £65,000
About the Role
The Senior HR Business Partner will manage a small but global HR team day-to-day, acting as a Business Partner to the engine of the business, our Service Operations and Cyber Practice while also getting hands-on with some of our most important change programmes resulting from M&A and TUPE. If you enjoy the mix of steady operational leadership and meaningful project delivery, this role gives you both.
This isn’t a standard Maternity Cover position, you will get an opportunity to make change and bring your expertise to the team to continue to evolve and mature the function.
What You’ll Do
- Lead and develop a small, global HR team day-to-day, setting clear priorities and coaching them to deliver at pace.
- Act as a trusted business partner to senior leaders, providing pragmatic, commercially aligned HR advice.
- Own employee relations casework across the business - absence, conduct, performance, grievances, disciplinaries, restructures and consultations - handled fairly, consistently and in line with local legislation.
- Keep on top of employment legislation across our countries of operation, working with local leaders and legal advisors to stay compliant.
- Coach and upskill managers, driving consistent performance management practices and manager toolkits.
- Own HR reporting and dashboards - headcount, turnover, absence, recruitment and ER - turning data into insight and recommendations.
- Step up as Programme Manager for key HR-led change programmes, and act as Deputy to the HR Director when needed.
