Do you want to help organisations put humans at the centre of everything they do? Because we definitely do!

What are we looking for?

Our clients are having to become much more adaptable to change as they face new workforce challenges as a result of globalisation, hybrid working, changing demographics, emerging technology, innovation and regulatory demands. We believe the People agenda is at the heart of successful change and that HR will have a key role in shaping organisations to be fit for the future.

The HR Transformation team is growing. We focus on partnering with clients to shape and navigate their People agendas, building functions that are business-focused, cost-effective, and agile by reimagining how HR can meet the needs of their stakeholders. Key to delivering that is a strategic People function that can look beyond HR operations and drive value back to the business.

Our HR Reimagined advisory team offer our clients a number of strategic advisory services that cover the breadth of HR strategy through to delivery of value-added services through HR experience design. We are looking for new team members that can bring a fresh perspective on delivering HR strategy, with experience in designing HR functions for the future and leveraging technology to augment our client’s experience.

As a member of our HR Reimagined team, you will join a talented group of professionals working with clients to reimagine the HR function of the future. Our focus is to create solutions that are relevant for each client's business, linked to their strategic ambition, not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
