Job Description

As a Human Resources Business Partner, you will provide strategic advice and counsel to Leaders and their respective leadership teams in Global Functions Technology and Wealth Management Technology on all aspects of Human Resources including talent management, organizational design, change management, workforce management, leadership, employee development, performance management and rewards and recognition.

What outcomes will you drive?

The following are key outcomes that you will drive in the HRBP role. Although listed separately, they often overlap and one influences the other. Your role will require you to constantly prioritize, re-prioritize, and integrate these outcomes:

• Organizational Development and Change Management: Recognizing that the context within which people work (e.g. the organization structure, reward/compensation systems, leadership, their teams, and culture) all have an effect on their productivity and employee experience, you will help Leaders utilize these levers to achieve desired outcomes.
• Advice and Consultation: The people-related questions and issues a Leader faces every day are as unique as the individuals that make up RBC. You will partner effectively with the Leaders and HR partners to provide your best advice and counsel on how to resolve issues and concerns in a way that meets the needs of the individual and the organization, balancing risk and enterprise priorities. You will utilize HR Data to inform decision-making and recommend actions on Employee Experience opportunities.
• HR Strategy Execution: In your role, it is critical to understand HR’s People and Culture strategy and are working with Leaders to determine people and organization implications for their teams. You will be an active force in shaping how to apply HR strategy and in determining local initiatives to ensure they are executed within the teams you support.
• Talent Management: You will work with the leadership team to acquire and assess talent. You will recommend ways to develop people driving performance in current or future roles. This will include informal 1:1 dialogues to create development plans as well as managing HR’s performance, talent development, and succession cycles. This also includes the performance and development of the Leaders themselves, where you will provide feedback, coaching, and formal development recommendations.

• 5+ years’ experience in Human Resources, including experience in an HR Business Partner role working directly with senior leaders
