As HR Business Partner, you will:

• Provide strategic HR advice, coaching and constructive challenge to managers and leadership teams.
• Take ownership of key people projects, including organisational change, restructures and new business mobilisation.
• Support talent management, succession planning and the development of internal and external talent pipelines.
• Build strong relationships with Trade Unions and local colleague representative groups.
• Manage and support complex employee and industrial relations matters.
• Use HR data and metrics to identify trends, risks and opportunities across the operation.
• Work collaboratively with HR Centres of Excellence and Shared Services.
• Support new business tenders, contract renewals and business development activity.
• Work directly with customers where required, including presenting and supporting the HR proposition during tenders and renewals.
• Challenge organisational design and people decisions to ensure they support operational performance and profitability.
• Lead people workstreams through periods of business change and continuous improvement.

We're looking for an experienced HR professional who can operate confidently at a strategic level.

• Proven HR Business Partner experience within a complex, multi-site, fast-paced organisation.
• 3PL, contract logistics, manufacturing, FMCG, transport, warehousing experience.
• Experience supporting tenders, contract mobilisation, contract renewals or customer-facing business development.
• Strong commercial acumen and an understanding of how people decisions impact business performance and P&L.
• Strong employee relations and industrial relations experience.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the confidence to challenge senior leaders constructively.
• Strong talent management and succession planning experience.
• Excellent communication, presentation and relationship-building skills.
• The confidence to operate directly with customers and commercial stakeholders.
• Commercially focused rather than purely HR-led. Understand how HR has an impact on the bottom line.
• Passionate about using HR to improve business performance.

If you're an experienced HRBP looking for a role where you can genuinely influence commercial performance, organisational design, growth and change, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
