The Opportunity

A leading global logistics and supply chain organisation is looking to appoint an experienced Senior HR Business Partner to play a key role within its Contract Logistics division.
 
This is a senior, commercially focused HR leadership position, combining strategic HR partnering, business transformation, customer engagement and leadership across a significant and growing business area.

The successful candidate will partner closely with senior business leaders, helping shape the people strategy while also playing an active role in business growth, customer relationships and the development of the wider HR function.

This role is very much strategic, not a tactical or transactional HR position. The organisation is looking for someone who can operate at senior leadership level, understand the commercial impact of people decisions and confidently challenge the business to improve performance and profitability.

The Role

As Senior HR Business Partner, you will:

Partner with senior business leaders to develop and deliver the people strategy across Contract Logistics.

Act as a trusted and credible adviser to senior leadership, providing strategic HR insight and constructive challenge.

Lead and develop a team of HR Business Partners, providing direction, coaching and support.

Take responsibility for complex, high-profile HR and organisational projects across the business.

Lead people workstreams associated with business transformation, organisational design, restructuring and growth.

Support the development and expansion of the Contract Logistics portfolio, working closely with business leaders and customers.

Play an active role in new business tenders, contract renewals and customer presentations.

Build strong relationships with senior external customers and act as a credible HR representative during commercial discussions.

Support the business in identifying opportunities to improve organisational effectiveness and profitability.

Use people data, metrics and commercial insight to influence business decisions.

Develop talent pipelines, succession plans and leadership capability across the business.

Build effective relationships with Trade Unions and support complex industrial relations matters.

Work collaboratively with wider HR Centres of Excellence and HR leadership to deliver a consistent and commercially focused people agenda.

Lead and contribute to wider HR transformation and strategic projects.

About Your experience 

We're looking for a senior HR professional who combines strong strategic HR capability with genuine commercial and operational experience.

Ideally your experience will have: 

Significant HR Business Partner experience within a complex, fast-paced organisation.

Experience operating at Senior HRBP / HR leadership level.

Strong commercial acumen and an understanding of how HR decisions impact P&L and business performance.

Experience supporting large-scale operational or blue-collar workforces.

Proven experience leading and developing HR Business Partners or HR teams.

Strong employee relations and industrial relations experience.

Experience working with recognised Trade Unions.

Experience of organisational design, restructuring, transformation and change.

Strong knowledge of TUPE and complex employment matters.

Excellent senior stakeholder management and influencing skills.

The confidence to challenge senior leaders and influence strategic business decisions.

Experience working across multiple sites and/or geographically dispersed operations.

Strong talent management, succession planning and leadership development experience.

Excellent presentation and communication skills.

Experience within logistics, 3PL, logistics, transport, warehousing, or another operationally intensive environment would be highly relevant.
 
Experience of supporting commercial tenders, contract mobilisation, contract renewals or customer-facing business development would be particularly advantageous.

The ideal Person

You'll be:

Commercially astute and able to connect HR strategy with business performance.

Strategic rather than transactional.

Confident operating with senior executives and business leaders.

Comfortable challenging the status quo and influencing organisational design.

Customer-focused and confident representing HR externally.

A strong leader who can develop and empower HR professionals around you.

Comfortable working in a complex, multi-site environment.

Proactive, credible and able to operate with a high degree of autonomy.

Someone who sees HR as a key driver of commercial performance rather than simply a support function.

If you align with all the above, we look forward to reviewing your application / cv
