People Business Partner

People Business Partner – Global

International | Hands-on | Fast-paced | Challenging

Not your typical HR role!

Are you someone who enjoys a challenge, isn’t afraid of hard work and thrives in an environment where no two days are the same?

We are a growing international business operating across 22 countries and multiple legal entities. As we continue to expand and evolve, our People and Compliance agenda is becoming increasingly complex.

We are looking for a hands-on, commercially minded People Business Partner who wants to get involved in all aspects of the business, from managing the full employee lifecycle to supporting international compliance and delivering projects that help shape our future.

Let’s be honest – things can get chaotic! Priorities change, unexpected challenges arise and sometimes you need to drop what you’re doing and tackle something completely different. We need someone who is comfortable with that, can adapt quickly, takes ownership and, most importantly, enjoys getting things done.

What will you be doing?

• Supporting the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding through to employee relations, performance, development and offboarding.
• Providing practical HR advice and support to managers and employees across our international operations.
• Keeping up to date with changing employment legislation and supporting compliance across 22 countries and multiple legal entities.
• Working closely with local stakeholders and external advisers on country-specific employment requirements.
• Developing and improving global HR policies, processes and ways of working.
• Getting involved in global projects, including new HR systems, business improvements and organisational development.
• Working alongside the wider People and Compliance team to support business priorities, manage risk and drive improvements.
• Building relationships across the business and developing an understanding of how our different functions and operations work.

What are we looking for?

Someone who:

• Is hands-on and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
• Has strong generalist HR experience and enjoys the entire employee lifecycle.
• Is resilient, adaptable and comfortable working with competing priorities.
• Can navigate ambiguity and bring structure to situations that aren’t always straightforward.
• Takes ownership and sees things through from start to finish.
• Is commercially curious and wants to understand the wider business, not just HR.
• Enjoys managing projects and being involved in new initiatives and business improvements.
• Is proactive, solutions-focused and confident challenging existing ways of working.
• Is a collaborative team player who is happy to support wherever needed.
• Is flexible with working hours when required to support our international operations and different time zones.

CIPD qualification or equivalent experience is desirable. International HR experience would be an advantage, but attitude, adaptability and a willingness to learn are just as important.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to become part of a growing international business where you will have exposure to different countries, cultures, legislation, systems and business projects.

You will have the opportunity to learn, develop, influence and make a genuine difference. You won’t be restricted to a narrow HR remit – you will be encouraged to get involved, understand the wider business and contribute to how we grow and develop.

We don’t need someone who just wants to do HR. We need someone who wants to understand the business, get stuck in, challenge the status quo and help us build something better.

If you enjoy hard work, thrive on challenge and want to be part of a team that gets things done, we’d love to hear from you.

If you like things predictable and every day to look the same, this probably isn’t the role for you!
