A business growing at pace. A leadership team with ambition. An opportunity to make a genuine difference.

HPRtalent is partnering with an ambitious, private equity-backed UK services organisation to appoint an exceptional Senior HR Business Partner.

This is a business entering an exciting phase of its development. With an established national footprint, a diverse customer base and a clear strategy for both organic and acquisition-led growth, the organisation is focused on strengthening its leadership capability, developing its people and building the infrastructure required to support its next chapter.

The ambition is significant. So too is the opportunity for an accomplished HR professional to influence what comes next.

We are looking for a commercially astute, operationally credible and strategically capable Senior HR Business Partner who can work alongside senior leaders to shape the people agenda, challenge established thinking and help build a high-performing, future-ready organisation.

This is not a role for someone who wants to deliver HR from the sidelines.

We need someone who will get underneath the business, understand its operational complexities, build meaningful relationships with leaders and translate business priorities into tangible people outcomes.

The opportunity

Working closely with senior operational and functional leadership teams, you will act as a trusted adviser, coach and constructive challenger.

You will have the opportunity to influence organisational design, leadership capability, succession planning, employee engagement and the people implications of a business pursuing an ambitious growth strategy.

The environment is dynamic, commercially driven and evolving. Priorities can change quickly, decisions are made at pace and there is a genuine expectation that HR will contribute to business performance rather than simply provide a support function.

You will need to be equally comfortable developing a strategic workforce plan, challenging a senior leader on organisational effectiveness, supporting a complex employee relations matter or spending time with frontline teams to understand what is really happening operationally.

What you will be responsible for

Strategic Business Partnering & Commercial Performance

Build trusted, influential relationships with senior leaders, developing a deep understanding of their commercial priorities, operational challenges and growth ambitions.

Translate business strategy into clear, practical people plans that support revenue growth, operational effectiveness, profitability and organisational resilience.

Provide thoughtful, evidence-based challenge, ensuring people decisions are commercially sound and support long-term business performance.

Use workforce data, trends and insight to identify opportunities, anticipate risks and influence decision-making.

Help leaders understand the relationship between workforce capability, productivity, employee engagement, retention and customer delivery.

Organisational Design, Growth & Transformation

Partner leaders to assess current organisational structures, capability and ways of working against the requirements of the future business.

Lead and support organisational design initiatives, ensuring structures, responsibilities and accountabilities are fit for purpose.

Support business transformation, restructuring and change programmes with a clear focus on communication, engagement and successful implementation.

Contribute to the people aspects of acquisitions and integration, including…
