This role will suit a commercially minded HR BP who enjoys being close to the operation, working with data, and partnering senior leaders to drive performance, capability and smarter ways of working.
The role
Reporting into the UK & Ireland Head of HR, you will partner Heads of and Senior Managers across the business, acting as the commercial people partner for your stakeholder group.

About you
* Proven experience in a HR Business Partner role within an operational, multi-site or 24/7 environment
