What's the brief?
Our client, a leading supply chain solutions provider, is seeking a highly polished and commercially astute Senior HR Business Partner to cover a parental leave contract. This role sits at the centre of their corporate head office and requires someone confident influencing at executive level. In partnership with senior leaders across Commercial & Finance, IT, Legal and HR, this person will be trusted to shape people strategy, drive critical initiatives and provide pragmatic, business-focused advice.
