Job description

Are you an experienced HR leader who prides yourself on your ability to effectively drive people strategy across a large contract? Ready for a new challenge? Do you want to make a difference?

GXO are currently looking for a HR Business Partner to join us on a prestigious contract in the East Midlands. The Business Partner will provide both strategic and operational HR support, to our customer, Operations Director and General Managers with HR responsibility for a contract of circa 2000 colleagues across a large contract. You will also be working alongside a great HR team, with responsibility for supporting the design and delivery of a consistent framework for people-related activity within the contract and the wider business.

This is a full-time, permanent position, working 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday. However, this is a 24/7 operation, so you’ll need to offer a level of flexibility in terms of working hours – no two weeks are the same, this is logistics after all!

Pay, benefits and more:

You’ll be paid a salary of up to £65,000 per annum, you’ll also receive 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. Your benefits package includes a company car or car allowance of £505 per calendar month, a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more. You’ll also have access to our GXO University which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Work closely with internal and external stakeholders to integrate HR practices, drive the engagement agenda, and champion people-related change and organisational design activities.
• Act as a confidant, influencer, and enabler for the Operations Director and General Managers, allowing them to make calculated, evidenced and commercially focused people-related decisions.
• Ensure that our HR teams are providing an effective and efficient consultancy and advisory service to our operational teams, acting as a key mentor, coach, and go-to escalation point.
• Facilitate, lead, and drive programmes across the colleague lifecycle including talent development and succession planning, colleague engagement and recognition, and recruitment and retention.

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• Be an experienced HR Business Partner with a background in leading a HR team and overseeing HR activity within a large logistics, distribution, or supply chain operation.
• Experience of working and negotiating with Trade Unions.
• The ability to effectively communicate with and influence a variety of internal and external stakeholders at all levels and via a variety of mediums.
• A genuine belief in, and commitment to, delivering a great colleague experience across all people related activity.
