The role
This is a critical leadership role within the People Planning & Transformation team, partnering with senior business leaders, People Directors and other Centres of Expertise to shape and deliver strategic people transformation activity across BGIUK.
You’ll lead complex, high-profile and often business-critical people programmes, ensuring that organisation design, workforce transition, consultation and implementation activities are delivered effectively, safely and in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.
A key focus of the role is to act as the People Workstream Lead for large-scale people transformations, mergers and acquisitions, integrations, divestments, outsourcing, insourcing and workforce restructuring programmes.
You’ll provide expert leadership across the full programme lifecycle from strategic shaping and due diligence through to implementation, stabilisation and benefits realisation.
You’ll ensure people implications are considered in strategic decision making, translating business strategy and target operating model requirements into practical organisational solutions that enable business performance, growth and long-term workforce sustainability.
With your significant commercial acumen, analytical capability and employment law expertise, you’ll be enabled to assess complex business scenarios, evaluate organisational risks and opportunities, and provide robust recommendations to senior stakeholders and executive leadership teams.
