An important part of your role will be liaising with HR Colleagues and other departments in the UK and around the globe on matters relating to new hire set-up, HR Data, approvals, validation and compliance while continuously looking for improved ways of working and offering insight and feedback to the wider team.

This represents a fantastic opportunity to work with our established HR team for an internationally listed professional services organisation with strong ambitions to grow our UK & Ireland operations.

You will have good numerical and analytical skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to work autonomously. Your problem-solving skills will be important.

Most of all, your passion to work in a busy HR Advisory role amongst a collaborative HR Team across the UK will be key to your success.
