n
What's the brief?
n
This is an HR Business Partner role built around relationships, influence and commercial judgement.
n
You'll partner with senior leaders across a portfolio of six businesses, each with its own culture, history and level of HR maturity. Some already see HR as a trusted partner, while others are more accustomed to operating independently.
n
Your role is to understand the business, build credibility and provide practical advice that works. You'll know when to coach, when to challenge and when to take a pragmatic approach.
n
You'll inherit strong stakeholder relationships that have taken time to build, so maintaining that trust and continuing to strengthen the credibility of HR will be important from day one.
n
There's also plenty happening beyond the day-to-day. With several acquisitions potentially on the horizon, you'll work closely with senior People leadership across due diligence, workforce planning, integration and onboarding newly acquired businesses.
n
It's broad, commercially focused HR partnering without the high-volume ER case load that can dominate other HRBP portfolios.
n
Is This Your Perfect Match?
n
You're someone who builds strong relationships and knows how to adapt your approach to different stakeholders.
n
You can partner with established senior leaders, challenge thinking when needed and provide practical advice without making things more complicated than they need to be.
n
You're commercially minded, pragmatic and comfortable working across businesses that don't all operate in exactly the same way.
n




Perhaps you're an experienced HRBP looking for greater flexibility, or you're a high-performing Senior HR Advisor ready to step up. Either way, it's your judgement, stakeholder capability and maturity that will matter more than the number of years you've held a particular title.
n
You'll enjoy variety, appreciate autonomy and understand that outstanding business partnering is about building trust and influencing the decisions that matter.
