Senior People Business Partner

We are looking for a talented senior people/HR business partner to join our team. Partnering with a number of specific client groups, we are looking for someone to work closely with leaders to help build organisational and people capabilities.

About you

Visible - you will be a valued member of your client groups’ senior management team.

Understanding the business - you will develop a deep understanding of your client groups’ strategic drivers and how they operate.
