HR Operations Partner

*HR Operations Partner*

Primary Purpose of the Role:

The HR Operations Partner role will provide HR services to the Thales UK business through the delivery of advisory services, cyclical project activity, change implementation and case management services. Specialist capability and expertise will act as "consultancy" within the service and could be stand alone in nature, or part of a dual capacity.

Typically this role will provide support to a number of Country Business Units (CBU) or Domains on a site, rather than reporting in to a CBU aligned HR team. These roles may also have a specialist element to them, for example a bias for supporting Compensation & Benefits or Learning & Development programmes as well as specific HR programmes.

The critical focus of the role is to support delivery of the HR strategy, which in turn delivers the business objectives and future growth and profitability of Thales in the UK.
