As Arrive, we guide customers and communities towards brighter futures and more livable cities, it isn’t a challenge just anyone could take on. Luckily, we have something to help us make it happen. Our people and our values. We Arrive Curious, Focused and Together. Just as our entire brand is inspired by the North Star, the shining light leading travelers to their destinations since time began, our values guide us. They help us be at our best.

The Role
To help power this journey, we are looking for a Senior People Business Partner to join our People & Culture team, based in London and partnering directly with our Transport Business Unit. In this role, you will serve as the primary architect of people strategy for a dedicated part of the Transport function.
In this senior individual contributor role, you will guide senior leadership through complex organizational design, rapid transformation, and post-merger integration. Navigating the natural ambiguity of a fast-growing environment, you will translate ambitious business targets into simple, data-driven people plans.
Reporting directly to the Head of People, you will collaborate closely with key partners across Talent & Culture, People Operations, and Reward to drive our unified "One Arrive" way of working. This position offers a direct opportunity to drive high-value strategy and scale team structures across our European hubs.
