We are partnering with a private equity-backed technology business to appoint an Interim Senior HR Business Partner to support a critical operations transformation programme.
This is a high-impact role embedded within a business undergoing rapid growth and significant change, driven by investment and a focus on automation, AI-led service delivery and operational efficiency.
The opportunity…
You will act as a senior, hands-on HRBP aligned to Operations (c.600 FTE), leading the people agenda for a large-scale transformation programme.
This is not a traditional advisory role — you will be responsible for owning and delivering change end-to-end, working closely with senior operational and transformation leaders.
Key responsibilities…
* Lead organisation design and workforce planning, defining the future-state operating model
* Translate strategic transformation goals into practical, deliverable people plans
* Deliver restructuring programmes, including consultation and redundancy processes
* Partner closely with Operations leadership to drive efficiency and cost transformation
* Own the people communication strategy, maintaining engagement through change
* Provide credible challenge and insight to senior stakeholders
* Ensure alignment between HR, Operations and Transformation teams
The Context…
* High-growth, PE-backed technology environment
* Significant transformation agenda focused on automation and systems implementation
* Operations population of circa 600 employees
* Likely workforce evolution including role redesign and reduction (c.70–100 roles)
* Fast-paced, evolving environment with strong leadership visibility
What we’re looking for…
* Experienced Senior HRBP / Transformation HR Lead (ideally within Technology)
* Proven track record delivering organisation design, workforce planning and restructuring
* Must have experience in PE-backed, high-growth or complex transformation environments
* Strong employee relations expertise, including consultation processes
* Highly commercial, pragmatic and delivery-focused
* Comfortable operating hands-on at pace in ambiguous environments
* Confident influencing and challenging senior stakeholders
Why apply…
* Opportunity to lead a business-critical transformation programme
* High visibility with senior leadership and transformation teams
* Work within a fast-growing, PE-backed business
* Immediate start with strong day rate
If you’re an experienced HR transformation specialist who thrives in fast-paced, delivery-focused environments, we’d love to hear from you.
