Senior HR Manager - Talent
Salary: up to £85k
Hybrid working: 2 days in office per week
This is a high-profile role for an experienced HR professional who is passionate about unlocking potential across an organisation.

Working closely with senior leaders and HR colleagues, you'll take a broad view of the employee journey, helping to create an environment where individuals can thrive, progress their careers and make a long-term impact on the business.
Key duties will include:
- Driving talent initiatives that support the firm's long-term people and business objectives.
- Partnering with leaders to identify future capability requirements and strengthen leadership pipelines.
- Facilitating discussions around potential, performance and future career opportunities across key talent groups.
- Enhancing approaches to career progression, ensuring employees have visibility of development opportunities and routes to advancement.
- Supporting managers to build stronger teams through effective talent planning and people-focused decision making.
- Using workforce insight and people data to inform strategic talent priorities and investment decisions.
- Championing initiatives that strengthen organisational capability and prepare the business for future growth.
- Building strong relationships across the HR function and wider business to embed a consistent approach to talent management.
