Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) - RBC BlueBay Asset Management - London

As a Human Resources Business Partner, you will provide strategic advice and counsel to Senior Leaders and their respective leadership teams in RBC BlueBay Asset Management, on all aspects of human resources including talent management, diversity, organisational design, change management, workforce management, leadership, employee development, performance management and rewards and recognition. This role is full time and requires 4 days in the office.

The following are key outcomes that you will drive in the Human Resources Business Partner role. Although listed separately, they often overlap and one influences the other.

• Strategy Development and Execution: In your role, it will be key that you understand both the HR and Business’ strategic priorities and key initiatives and are working with your Leaders to determine people and organisation implications for their teams. You will advance and execute the RBC HR strategic objectives and people priorities and advise on group and platform strategies to source, retain and develop Human Capital in order to meet business needs.
• Talent Performance and Development: You will work with the leadership teams to assess talent. You will recommend ways to develop people to better perform their current roles and/or to prepare them for future roles. This will include informal 1:1 dialogues to create development plans as well as managing HR’s talent planning, performance, development, and succession cycles. This also includes the performance and development of the Leaders themselves, where you will provide feedback, coaching, and formal development recommendations.
• Advice and Consultation: The people-related questions and issues a Leader faces every day are as unique as the individuals that make up RBC. You will partner effectively with the Leaders and with other sources of expertise in HR to provide your best advice and counsel on how to resolve issues and concerns in a way that meets the needs of the individual and the organisation. You will also be conversant with HR Data and its analysis so that you can inform decision-making and recommend actions around important topics such as Culture and Inclusion, Engagement and all other outcomes listed here.
• Organisation Development and Change: Recognising that the context within which people work (e.g. the organisation structure, reward/compensation systems, leadership, their teams, and culture) all have an effect on their productivity and enjoyment, you will help Leaders to utilise these levers to achieve desired results and engagement while helping people to adopt any associated changes.
