Company Description

Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor.

We've been safeguarding people's financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders.

We are one of the world's largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. These underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.

L&G Asset Management is one of Europe's largest asset managers, providing clients and partners with complex, responsible investment solutions across public and private markets. As a global investor, we are present where our clients most need us—from Hong Kong and Singapore to Chicago and major European financial hubs.

Created by combining our investment management (LGIM) and asset origination (LGC) capabilities, our Asset Management division works with our Institutional Retirement and Retail divisions to benefit our clients and customers—including individual savers, pension scheme members, and global institutions—and to deliver enhanced shareholder returns.

Joining us means becoming part of a market-leading team, with capabilities across the full spectrum of asset classes, with an enduring commitment to responsible investment and creating long-term, sustainable value for our clients and partners.

Job Description

We're looking for a collaborative and strategic HR Business Partner to support our Asset Management Chief Operating Office (AM COO) on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

Working in partnership with the Head of HR and senior leaders within our Asset Management division, you'll ensure that HR services are delivered across all locations under your remit, while maintaining an independent organisation-wide corporate perspective.

This is a fantastic opportunity to influence and deliver impactful people strategies in a dynamic, forward-thinking environment.

What you'll be doing:

1. Partnering with senior leaders to shape and deliver HR priorities aligned with business goals
2. Supporting the implementation of the People Plan and leading key people projects
3. Advising on employee engagement, organisational change, and workforce planning
4. Driving talent and succession planning activities across the business
5. Leading annual HR cycles including performance reviews and employee surveys
6. Collaborating with Reward to develop and implement effective reward strategies
7. Championing positive employee relations and working closely with employee representatives
8. Contributing to cross-functional HR initiatives and providing cover for HR colleagues when needed

Qualifications

Who we're looking for:

1. Proven experience as an HR Business Partner in a complex, matrixed organisation
2. Strong understanding of employment law, HR policies, and organisational development
3. Experience supporting IT, Change, and Project teams
4. Ability to influence senior stakeholders and align HR strategy with business needs
5. Skilled in talent management, organisational design, and culture change
6. Comfortable working across multiple jurisdictions and international teams
7. An analytical mindset with the ability to interpret HR data for decision-making
8. CIPD qualification (or equivalent) preferred

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

1. The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
2. Generous pension contribution
3. Life assurance
4. Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
5. At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years' service. There's also the option to buy and sell holiday
6. Competitive family leave
7. Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
8. There are the many discounts we offer - both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
9. In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

Additional Information
