Ideas | People | Trust

We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy – and directly advise the owners and management teams leading them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

The Business Partnering (BP) team plays a vital role within L&D, partnering with the Audit Stream to identify learning needs and develop an appropriate response to these needs. They are responsible for working alongside the business to drive the Learning and Development agenda and coordinate with wider support teams on various related activities in the stream.

The BP team acts as the business voice within L&D, providing oversight and challenge internally as the wider L&D team works to develop and implement solutions that met the objectives determined when needs were scoped. They are similarly the face of L&D to the business, representing the function within the Audit Stream.

The Business Partnering Manager for Projects will work directly with stakeholders in the business to identify specific needs that fall outside our Early in Careers and Post-qualified curricula. These wider, often project-based activities, require a coordinated approach across the entirety of the core curriculum and/or within specific role or engagement-related programmes.

Using their understanding of business priorities, developed through active engagement with the Stream, they will join up activities across our L&D offering and wider centralised programmes, ensuring our response to the Stream is aligned and meets ongoing needs. They will coordinate with other stakeholder groups as needed. The Business Partnering Manager will work collaboratively with the other BP team members to ensure that the learning needs analysis is coordinated and complete, and to share best practice.

As a member of the BP team, they work with the Learning Development team to ensure that the business objectives for any particular learning need are understood and translated into key learning objectives and oversee that design learning interventions meet these needs effectively. They will support the Learning Implementation team as needed to ensure that developed content in implemented as planned and work with the Monitoring, Reporting & Compliance team to ensure appropriate review of learning effectiveness is performed. It is also expected that the BP team will support programme delivery through onsite programme management and facilitation where appropriate.

You’ll be able to be yourself; we’ll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to our business. We’re committed to agile working, and we offer everyone the opportunity to work in ways that suit them, their teams, and the task at hand.

At BDO, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.
