Regional HR Business Partner

We are a global technology group built for what's next, offering high calibre professionals the platform for high stakes work, the kind of work that defines an entire career. When you join us, you're not just taking on projects, you're solving problems that don't even have answers yet.

You will join an exclusive roster of talent that global leaders, including Google, Snap, Diageo, Pay Pal, and Jaguar Land Rover, call when deadlines seem impossible, when others have already tried and failed, and when the solution absolutely has to work.

Forget routine consultancy. You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour meet to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This is work that leaves a mark, work you'll be proud to tell your friends about.

We are looking for an experienced and forward-thinking Regional HR Business Partner to lead and evolve Qodeas People Partnering function. You will play a pivotal role in shaping our people strategy, working closely with senior leaders to enable organisational growth, drive performance and strengthen our culture as we scale.

You will be responsible for setting the direction for People Partnering across the Business, aligning people priorities with commercial outcomes and ensuring consistent, high-quality delivery across all touchpoints. You'll make a significant impact by building a truly strategic, values-led partnership model that empowers leaders, accelerates business performance and shapes the future of Qodea alongside other high calibre people.

We look for people who embody:

Innovation to solve the hardest problems.

Accountability for every result.

Integrity always.
