Interim Senior HR Business Partner

Interim Senior HR Business Partner – 12 months

We are searching for a senior commercial HR leader to join a global services business at a significant point in its evolution.

The organisation is already operating at scale, and remains firmly in growth and transformation mode. The environment is ambitious, commercially demanding and still evolving.

This is a high-profile partnering role, working directly with several senior commercial leaders globally located across distinct parts of the revenue organisation. Success here depends as much on influence and trust as it does on technical HR expertise.

The successful individual will be expected to operate as a credible adviser to senior leadership; building trust quickly, navigating competing stakeholder agendas, and bringing judgement, challenge and clarity to complex people and organisational decisions.

A significant part of the mandate will centre on workforce planning, organisational change and a portfolio of HR projects, ensuring the business has the right structure, capability and investment in place to support its next stage of growth.

The profile

We are particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate:

• A strong track record operating as a senior HRBP within a globally complex, commercially focused organisation
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, able to build trust and credibility quickly across multiple, competing senior stakeholders
• Genuine influencing ability, comfortable operating without direct authority and adapting style to different audiences
• Genuine commercial acumen and an ability to connect people decisions directly to business performance
• Credibility and presence with senior executives
• Experience operating across multiple stakeholders, geographies and competing priorities
• Significant workforce planning experience, and comfort leading organisational change at pace
• A track record delivering complex, cross-functional HR projects
• A pragmatic approach and the confidence to challenge constructively

This is likely to suit someone who has already built credibility at senior HR leader level and thrives on the influencing and relationship-building side of the role as much as the technical delivery.

The attraction is the combination of scale, complexity and access.

You will work closely with the CPO and senior commercial leadership, building relationships and trust from day one, and have the opportunity to shape how the organisation manages change and builds capability for future growth.

For the right individual, this is a substantial HR leadership role in a business where the people agenda is closely connected to commercial strategy.

This role is offered on a 12-month interm basis we welcome applications from immediately available candidates. Hybrid working is 2 days a week in the office, Slough based.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion are integral to everything that we do. We are committed to these values, and they are central to our mission. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, and we are more than happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may require.
