In this role you will work on HR transformation projects with FTSE250 clients across a variety of industries.

Your primary focus will be to support HR transformation projects and your day-to-day activities will include:

• Analysing data regarding a client’s current HR challenges (structures, costs, pain points etc.);
• Conducting desk-based research;
• Preparing and delivering content for workshops or presentations;
• Facilitating workshops and client discussions;
• Project management coordination and organisation;
• Listening to the client’s requirements and helping provide recommendations based on data and insights, your experience and input from the wider team;
• Building a strong day-to-day relationship with client team members;
• Continuously improving the tools/templates/methodologies used on client projects;
• Conducting research into leading market trends;
• Helping develop new tools and thinking to take to clients as part of pitches and relationship development;
• Sharing your experiences and points of view to shape market eminence and build team capability;
• Supporting with writing case studies/project summaries for projects worked on, including facilitating lessons learned sessions with the wider team;
• Providing generalist support to the development of sales proposals to help win new work.

We are looking for someone who:

• Comes from a consultancy background;
• Has worked on HR transformation/change projects, including delivery of new HR technology;
• Enjoys problem solving;
• Is passionate about HR and keeps up to date with emerging trends (e.g. talent management, employee experience, people strategy, the impact of artificial intelligence on ways of working);
• Takes pride in delivering high-quality work and enjoys being part of a team;
• Is curious and keen to stretch their thinking to drive personal development;
• Has experience of managing team members to oversee the quality of work produced and manage to a successful client outcome;
• Is flexible, as there may be requirements to spend time onsite with clients and colleagues to support project delivery/internal activities.

What’s in it for you?

• Flexibility and variety of work – client and internal activities/communities;
• Development and growth through projects and working with the senior team;
• An innovative and fun culture;
• The opportunity to pursue personal interests through communities and CSR and DEI team.
