The Opportunity
A leading global logistics and supply chain organisation is looking to appoint an experienced Senior HR Business Partner to play a key role within its Contract Logistics division.
This is a senior, commercially focused HR leadership position, combining strategic HR partnering, business transformation, customer engagement, and leadership across a significant and growing business area.
The successful candidate will partner closely with senior business leaders, helping shape the people strategy while also playing an active role in business growth, customer relationships, and the development of the wider HR function.
This role is very much strategic, not a tactical or transactional HR position. The organisation is looking for someone who can operate at senior leadership level, understand the commercial impact of people decisions, and confidently challenge the business to improve performance and profitability.
The Role
As Senior HR Business Partner, you will:
- Partner with senior business leaders to develop and deliver the people strategy across Contract Logistics.
- Act as a trusted and credible adviser to senior leadership, providing strategic HR insight and constructive challenge.
- Lead and develop a team of HR Business Partners, providing direction, coaching, and support.
- Take responsibility for complex, high-profile HR and organisational projects across the business.
- Lead people workstreams associated with business transformation, organisational design, restructuring, and growth.
- Support the development and expansion of the Contract Logistics portfolio, working closely with business leaders and customers.
- Play an active role in new business tenders, contract renewals, and customer presentations.
- Build strong relationships with senior external customers and act as a credible HR representative during commercial discussions.
- Support the business in identifying opportunities to improve organisational effectiveness and profitability.
- Use people data, metrics, and commercial insight to influence business decisions.
- Develop talent pipelines, succession plans, and leadership capability across the business.
- Build effective relationships with Trade Unions and support complex industrial relations matters.
- Work collaboratively with wider HR Centres of Excellence and HR leadership to deliver a consistent and commercially focused people agenda.
- Lead and contribute to wider HR transformation and strategic projects.
