FULL DESCRIPTION

Director of HR Business Partnering

Does the pulse of retail and the pace and meaningful impact of change sit at the centre of your values and behaviours, then this role may be perfect.

Working for one of the UK’s most successful brands, but not an ordinary retailer, the Director of Business Partnering will lead strategic HR partnering with senior stakeholders to ensure the people agenda is fully aligned with commercial priorities. You’ll inspire and develop high-performing HR teams, oversee exceptional operational HR delivery through Shared Services, and play a central role in defining and delivering the People Strategy that underpins business success.

Working flexibly you will also enjoy working face to face with colleagues 3 days per week.

You’ll act as a visible and trusted HR leader, championing our culture and values, driving change with confidence and using insight to shape decisions that support further sustainable growth.

As a commercially minded, values-led HR leader operating across the c suite you will thrive in fast-paced, multi-site, consumer-facing environments where pace, pragmatism and people insight drive success.

You will enjoy balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, and leading high-performing teams through periods of growth and change. With strong emotional intelligence and a collaborative style, you build trusted relationships, influence effectively and bring others with you on the journey.

Equally as a commercial leader, from a matrix environment you will use insight to shape people decisions and to deliver growth and transformation.

Central to all of this you will be an inclusive, visible leader who sets clear expectations, championing collaboration.
