About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Employee Relations (ER) Project Manager to lead critical projects in Organisational Development (OD), with a strong focus on restructuring and transformational change. This role will play a key part in designing and implementing ER strategies that enable our organisation to adapt to change, optimise performance, and support people through complex transitions.

Collaborate with senior HR and business leaders to shape OD strategies and ensure alignment with ER policies and employment law.

Develop and deliver ER frameworks, consultation materials, and communication plans that support change initiatives.

Provide expert guidance on complex ER cases arising from organisational change, mitigating legal risk and ensuring fair outcomes.

Partner with legal, HR, and operational teams to ensure compliance and consistency in ER processes during restructuring.

Build ER capability across HR and management through coaching and knowledge sharing.

Monitor and report on the ER impact of restructuring efforts and make recommendations for continuous improvement.

To succeed as an ER Project Manager we're looking for:

Proven experience in employee relations, ideally within restructuring or OD projects.

Strong knowledge of employment law and best practice ER processes, particularly in change management contexts.

Experience managing or advising on TUPE, redundancy, redeployment, and consultation processes.

Excellent project management skills with the ability to lead multiple complex workstreams simultaneously.

Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, especially at senior leadership level.

Resilient, pragmatic, and solutions-focused with a collaborative working style.

CIPD qualified or equivalent is desirable.
