UK HR Partner

Amex GBT is a place where colleagues find inspiration in travel as a force for good and – through their work – can make an impact on our industry. We’re here to help our colleagues achieve success and offer an inclusive and collaborative culture where your voice is valued. The Amex GBT HR Team are responsible for building and nurturing the best and most complementary team in travel. If you are a team player, passionate about what you do, and obsessed with delivering exceptional experience why not join our fantastic team.

Are you a people person? Perhaps you’re a recent Human Resources graduate with a few internships and lots of theory under your belt, or maybe you have a few years’ experience and you’re looking to apply that to a growing, multinational company. Either way, we’d like to hear from you. Our country HR partners are the heart and soul of our HR team, working with colleagues to provide a positive work environment throughout all stages of their journey with us.

What you’ll do:

• Provide advice, support, and consultation on broad ranging employee matters, and guidance around administration and interpretation of policies and employment issues.
• Investigate colleague complaints and concerns; obtain relevant documentation and data via interviews; provide advice and take necessary steps to resolve on behalf of GBT.
• Advise, guide and resolve cases, with an aim to always provide a positive work environment for all colleagues.
• Partner with leaders to deliver training on best practice, strategies for managing problems, and responding to colleague grievances.
• Support analysis of casework trends, survey results, escalations, and complaints to determine areas of opportunity to improve work environment and culture.
• Support end-to-end people processes through developing and maintaining a positive, value add relationship with business leaders and HR colleagues.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in HR, ideally with exposure to employee relations. In lieu of experience, you’ll have a degree in Human Resources, or CIPD (level 3).
• Absolute attention to detail. I’s dotted, T’s crossed; you focus on producing work to the highest standards.
• You’re a self-starter with a growth mindset. You thrive in fast-paced, engaging environments.
• Outstanding communication skills. You listen actively, advise kindly, speak with authority when needed, and write clearly and consistently.
• Cool, calm and collected: you are tactful, quick thinking, and persuasive in controversial and/or confrontational situations.
• Natural intellectual curiosity and a passion for your own learning and development; enhancing current skills and nurturing new ones to positively impact the work you do, and the people you partner with.
