About the Role
GoHenry is seeking a Senior People Partner to collaborate with the Head of HR, taking ownership of employee relations, performance, and talent management. This role involves shaping ER, performance cycles, and talent conversations, with the Head of HR acting as a sounding board for complex decisions. The position is ideal for someone who thrives on building structure and processes, as much of the SOPs and manager guidance are yet to be developed.
Responsibilities
- Manage the ER lifecycle autonomously, resolving complex disciplinary, grievance, and capability issues end-to-end with minimal escalation.
- Lead performance review cycles, including timelines, calibration, and manager guidance.
- Partner with the Head of HR on talent management, identifying risks, gaps, and career progression opportunities.
- Drive the absence management framework, advising managers on complex health/welfare scenarios and identifying trends.
- Coach line managers through difficult conversations related to performance, feedback, and conduct.
- Support organizational change and restructures, including consultation documents, timelines, and employee support.
- Design and scale GoHenry’s People playbooks, establishing SOPs and self-service guidance for leaders.
- Own employee engagement survey cycles, including design and delivery, and implement changes based on findings.
- Analyze absence and engagement trends using HiBob to generate actionable insights.
- Contribute to broader People projects in L&D, reward strategy, and organizational culture.
Requirements
- Approximately 8 years of HR experience with substantial hands-on experience managing complex ER cases independently.
- Experience owning a performance review cycle from start to finish.
- Exposure to talent processes such as succession planning, career frameworks, and workforce planning.
- Comfort operating with high autonomy, setting daily priorities independently, and using the Head of HR as a strategic sounding board.
- Solid, current knowledge of UK employment law and the confidence to apply it to novel situations.
- Confidence to advise and occasionally push back on senior stakeholders when necessary.
- Experience using an HRIS platform (HiBob is a bonus) to analyze trends and extract people insights.
- Proven track record of designing and scaling People processes.
- Experience informally guiding or mentoring junior HR colleagues.
