Key Duties & Responsibilities
• Partner with senior leaders and Exec-level stakeholders to design and deliver business-aligned people strategies.
• Lead data-driven people initiatives, turning insight into action — such as reducing absence rates, increasing engagement, and improving team performance.
• Support change projects, including culture shifts, restructuring, and capability development.
• Use HR metrics to track trends, report to senior leaders, and influence business decisions.
• Support and coach leaders on performance management, succession planning, and people capability.
• Contribute to upskilling initiatives and build management capability to reduce HR dependency over time.
• Work closely with CoEs, HRIS, and Shared Services to ensure consistency, compliance, and efficiency.
• Manage complex ER issues, while ensuring focus remains on strategic and preventative solutions.
Skills & Experience Required
• Proven experience as a true HR Business Partner — influencing senior leadership teams in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience supporting organisational change, cultural development, and strategic people planning.
• Able to translate data into stories that influence decision-making and demonstrate tangible HR impact.
• Comfortable challenging and supporting leaders, including Exec and Board-level contacts.
• Strong experience with performance, talent, and workforce planning processes.
• Demonstrable emotional intelligence and commercial understanding.
• CIPD Level 5+ or equivalent experience.
• Excellent knowledge of employment law and ER best practice.
• Experience in engineering, manufacturing, logistics or similar environments is beneficial.
• UK Driving Licence required — occasional travel to other UK sites (approx. 6 times per year).
