At the heart of the CMA is an outstanding HR team that enables the organisation to be high performing. As we respond to changing markets in an increasingly digitalised world, and the effects of the coronavirus, it is essential that we continue to have the resources to face these challenges.  This brings an exciting opportunity for a professional HR Business Partner to play a key role delivering strategic solutions to ensure the HR team continues to build the culture, capacity, capability and commitment of our people.

As Assistant HR Director, you will ensure the delivery of first class and customer focused HR Business Partnering services across the CMA.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Enabling, coaching and challenging CMA senior leaders on the implementation and delivery of planned and unplanned people management initiatives
• Promoting best practice in people management across the CMA
• Supporting and enabling senior leaders with business and cultural change and organisational development projects
• Monitoring and interpreting HR analytics and sharing these insights with senior leaders

You will need to be MCIPD qualified or have a similar Human Resources qualification or equivalent experience, with extensive HR Business Partner experience at a senior managerial level within a professional services and/or public sector organisation. Excellent working knowledge of UK employment law, best practice and emerging trends is also essential.

Equally important is the capability to design, develop and implement change management programmes and use data to take an analytical approach to overcoming barriers to change and business performance. You will also need extensive experience of having managed others, particularly coaching staff, managers and senior leaders to enhance organisational performance.
