Grill'd is about more than burgers.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we're looking for a Senior People Business Partner to join our People team on a 12-month fixed-term contract , playing a key role in shaping the people strategies, capability and ways of working that support our future.
About the Role The Senior People Business Partner is a strategic partner to the business, working closely with leaders across Restaurant Operations and Support Office to develop and deliver people plans that drive performance, strengthen leadership capability and create a great employee experience.
This is a broad and influential role.
