Build People. Shape Culture. Drive Business Growth.
About the Opportunity
Our client is a technology-driven organisation operating in a fast-paced and evolving business environment. As the business continues to grow, they are looking for a commercially minded and forward-thinking Senior HR Business Partner to play a key role in shaping the people agenda and supporting the next phase of organisational growth.
This is an exciting opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys working beyond traditional HR boundaries. Partnering directly with business leaders, you will have the autonomy to drive people initiatives, strengthen organisational capabilities and make a tangible impact on how the business attracts, develops and retains its people.
With a relatively lean HR structure, this role offers broad exposure, significant ownership and the opportunity to influence both strategic decisions and day-to-day business outcomes.
What You'll Be Doing
Be a Business Partner, Not Just an HR Partner
- Work closely with senior leadership to understand business priorities, challenges and growth plans, translating them into practical people strategies.
- Act as a trusted advisor to managers on organisational matters, workforce planning, talent decisions and people management.
- Challenge existing practices and bring fresh perspectives to improve organisational effectiveness and business performance.
Build and Shape the People Agenda
- Take ownership of key HR initiatives across talent acquisition, performance management, succession planning, employee engagement and talent development.
- Partner with business leaders to identify critical talent needs, strengthen leadership capabilities and build a high-performing workforce.
- Drive initiatives that attract, develop and retain the right talent to support business expansion.
Create an Environment Where People Thrive
- Champion a positive, accountable and performance-driven workplace culture.
- Take the lead in managing employee relations, people matters and organisational challenges with sound judgement and commercial awareness.
- Support leaders in navigating performance conversations, employee development and change management.
Make HR Better, Smarter and More Effective
- Review and enhance existing HR policies, processes and frameworks to support the organisation's evolving needs.
- Identify opportunities to simplify workflows, improve HR service delivery and introduce more effective ways of working.
- Leverage people data and insights to identify workforce trends and support better management decisions.
Roll Up Your Sleeves and Make Things Happen
- Take an active role across the full employee lifecycle, balancing strategic initiatives with hands-on HR execution.
- Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders to resolve people-related challenges and drive initiatives from concept through implementation.
- Bring structure, clarity and consistency to HR practices while maintaining the agility required in a fast-moving business.
What We're Looking For - Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration or a related discipline.
- At least 8-10 years of progressive HR experience, with solid exposure to HR business partnering or generalist HR leadership.
- Experience in technology, software, digital solutions, fintech, payments or other fast-paced commercial environments would be advantageous.
- Strong understanding of the full HR spectrum, including talent management, employee relations, performance management, organisational development and workforce planning.
- Demonstrated ability to work closely with senior stakeholders and influence business decisions.
- Comfortable operating in a lean HR environment where initiative, ownership and versatility are essential.
- A balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution, with the ability to move seamlessly between the two.
The Person Who Will Thrive in This Role - A self-starter who enjoys taking ownership and making things happen.
- Commercially curious and able to connect people strategies with business outcomes.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to navigate changing business priorities.
- A natural influencer who can build relationships and gain the trust of stakeholders.
- Resourceful, pragmatic and solutions-oriented, rather than relying on rigid HR frameworks.
- Someone who enjoys building, improving and shaping the way HR operates as a business grows.
The Opportunity: A chance to step into a broad, high-impact HR role where you are not simply supporting the business, but actively helping shape its people, culture and future growth.
