About the Role
We’re looking for a dynamic and forward-thinking Strategic People Partner to join our People team. This is a high-impact role where you’ll partner with senior leaders across our Logistics network to drive strategic people initiatives, support organisational transformation, and enable a high-performance culture. This role will be working closely with our trade union, so we are specifically looking for someone with previous experience in industrial relations in a logistics environment. This is a hybrid role with travel to our Logistics sites which are nationwide.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the delivery of the industrial relations strategy and plan, ensuring alignment with Asda’s broader business strategy and people plan.
- Work closely and collaboratively with our trade union.
- Partner with the senior leadership team, to deliver our priorities, evolving culture and capability.
- Champion a culture of inclusion, engagement, and continuous improvement across our logistics network.
- Work closely with the Logistics & Supply Partnering team to deliver our collective outcomes.
- Collaborate with Centres of Excellence (CoEs) and People Services to deliver seamless people solutions.
- Use data and insights to influence decision-making and drive measurable outcomes.
- Navigate complex ER cases and support leaders through change and transformation.
