Job Description
About the position
We’re looking for a Senior HR Business Partner (Org Effectiveness) to join us on a contract / freelance basis and help leaders build high-performing, accountable teams during an important phase of growth.
This is a strategic, high-impact assignment — not a traditional operational HRBP role. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, diagnosing organisational challenges, coaching managers, and driving focused people interventions that unlock measurable business impact.
You’ll partner with a dedicated client group (R&D or GTM/G&A), helping translate business challenges into practical, high-leverage people solutions.
- Responsibilities
- Partner with leaders to drive team effectiveness and sustained high performance
- Diagnose organisational friction and identify root causes of performance challenges
- Advise on organisation design, role clarity, and structural decisions
- Support workforce planning and people budgeting with divisional leadership
- Coach managers to strengthen feedback habits and performance conversations
- Guide leaders through performance management with clarity and consistency
- Advise on headcount trade-offs and prioritisation decisions
- Use people data to identify patterns, risks, and intervention opportunities
- Translate insights into practical action plans
- Embed data-informed decision-making into leadership discussions
- Lead or support cyclical people initiatives (performance reviews, engagement surveys)
- Support organisational change and transformation initiatives
- Ensure clear communication and decision cascade across teams
- Partner closely with People Operations to establish clear ownership boundaries
- Balance operational compliance with strategic intent
- Support employee engagement initiatives that drive cultural impact
- Requirements
- Strong experience as an HR Business Partner in fast-paced or scaling environments
- Proven ability to advise senior leaders on organisational performance and design
- Experience supporting transformation, change, or restructuring initiatives
- Commercially minded with strong business understanding
- Excellent problem-solver who identifies root causes, not just symptoms
- Confident coach who can influence and challenge leaders constructively
- Organisational design and team structure optimisation
- Change management and transformation execution
- Working knowledge of employment law (Europe, UK and/or US)
