• Contributing to organisational change activity, including restructures, TUPE and consultation processes.
• Collaborating with Talent Operations, L&D and Talent Partners to ensure accurate data, smooth processes and joined‑up delivery.

• A solid grounding in UK employment law and confidence supporting (sometimes complex) employee relations processes.
• Strong relationship‑building skills, with the ability to influence and guide a wide range of stakeholders.
• An organised and thoughtful approach, balancing multiple priorities with care and accuracy.
• Curiosity and a continuous‑improvement mindset, with a desire to simplify and improve people processes.
• Comfort working in a matrixed or evolving environment, adapting to change as it happens.
• A collaborative, inclusive outlook that values different perspectives and ways of working.
