Job Description

This role will be responsible for creating sustainable value through a people plan, focusing on transformational and cultural change and provide subject matter expertise on all aspects of people-related matters.

Why this role is important to us

As a key member of the business leadership team, the HRBP will act as trusted advisor to multiple executive stakeholders. They will be a strong sounding board, coach and confidante on key matters and offer visible behavioural leadership to the business.

In partnership with the wider HR function, they will be at the forefront of delivering significant change across the business, with a particular focus on business transformation, through enhanced organisational effectiveness and workforce capability.

It is critical the successful candidate has presence, impact and can effect change by challenging the status quo. They will be passionate about making Experian a great place to work, with high energy for transformation and a commitment to delivering results.
