• Partnering senior leaders and managers across multiple functions, including Sales and Commercial teams
• Coaching managers to lead with clarity, accountability and confidence
• Leading performance, capability and employee relations matters end to end, acting as a bar raiser for high performance and consistent standards across the business
• Supporting organisational change, restructures and role clarity as the business scales
• Translating People strategy into simple, manager ready actions that land effectively
• Using people data and insight to inform decisions and prioritise action
• Working closely with People Operations and Experience colleagues, remaining accountable for outcomes

What we are looking for

• Significant experience as a Senior People Partner or HR Business Partner in a fast paced, evolving environment
• Strong experience supporting Sales or Commercial client groups
• Deep, practical knowledge of UK employment law and employee relations
• Confident coaching and challenging leaders at pace
• Commercial, pragmatic and action oriented
• Strong communicator who brings warmth alongside rigour
