Job description

Job Description - HR Business Partner (17041)

We are easyJet – a FTSE listed, £multi-billion low-cost airline that serves tens of millions of customers every single year. If you’re reading this, you have probably already been an easyJet customer, and you’ll know that there is no more iconic (or Orange!) travel brand in Europe.

We fly more than 1,207 routes, connecting 38 countries across Europe, and employ more than 19,000 colleagues. We’re on a mission to make low-cost travel easy – and whatever your role here, you’ll connect millions of people to what they love using Europe’s best airline network, great value fares, and friendly service.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Join our dynamic People and Change team at easyJet, where you will play a pivotal role in driving organisational development and people-related change initiatives. As a HR Business Partner, you will collaborate closely with Senior HR Business Partners and business leaders to design and implement effective people strategies that align with our overarching business plan. Your expertise will be crucial in managing significant change projects over the next 12-24 months, ensuring that all initiatives are legally compliant and aligned with our core values. This is an exciting opportunity to engage with senior stakeholders and contribute to one of the largest programmes at easyJet. In this high-profile role, you will support the delivery of organisational design, cultural changes, and enhancements to ways of working. You will provide expert advice on people metrics, salary evaluations, and job descriptions, while also managing the submission of business cases and ensuring that all changes are accurately reflected in our HR systems. Your ability to analyse insights and metrics will empower functional leaders to make informed decisions, and your collaboration with the Employee Relations team will ensure effective communication during consultation processes. We are looking for someone who is ready to hit the ground running and make a tangible impact within our organisation.

What you’ll bring to the role:

Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a talent for storytelling to advocate for change through data insights. Lead people change initiatives, conduct impact assessments, and advise on complex Employee Relations matters while collaborating with employee representative groups. A strong understanding of UK employment legislation and business acumen is essential, along with the ability to engage with senior stakeholders and manage conflicting deadlines effectively. We value resilience, initiative, and the ability to build relationships at all levels. Proficiency in Workday and MS Office is required. If you are development-oriented and self-motivated, we would love to hear from you!
