Job description

As a senior HR generalist and reporting to the Chief People Officer, the HRBP will operate as a member of the Global HR team and work closely with our local HR teams to deliver a wide range of HR activities. The role will partner globally with corporate services, including Finance, HR, Legal Risk & Compliance, Strategy and AI. The HR Business Partner will translate business goals into prioritised HR requirements aligned to the Global People Strategy, and ensure the effective delivery of HR services providing insight and objective challenge, as needed.

Control Risks supports hybrid working arrangements wherever possible. As the primary stakeholders for this role are based in London, regular London office based attendance will be necessary. Our Finance Shared Service Centre is in Cardiff and there will be an occasional requirement to work from that office too.

What You’ll Do:

• Function as a HR business partner delivering a broad HR advisory to Global Corporate Services.
• Within the established Control Risks structures, provide hands‑on delivery of key HR outputs including performance management, talent and compensation reviews and calibration sessions, employee relations and organisation design. All in a global setting.
• Work closely with the Service Line and Geographic HR teams to ensure parity of process and execution between Global Corporate Functions and Service Lines.
• Support leaders in enhancing business performance through improving the performance, capability, and motivation of their people.
• Drive the development and implementation of professional people management policies, capabilities, and practices.
• Ensure that Corporate Services teams are effectively managed and administered from an HR point of view, including our new Finance Shared Service Centre in Cardiff.
• Act as a change agent contributing to and managing HR projects as part of a broader programme of work.

Who You Are:

• Experience working at HRBP level in an international organisation across multiple countries in a matrixed environment.
• Demonstrated proficiency in partnering with and influencing business leaders at varying levels up to and including Executive Committee members.
• Ability to work collaboratively yet independently with minimum supervision in a multi‑cultural environment with multiple stakeholders competing for HR attention.
• Professionally qualified in HR (CIPD or equivalent) is desirable.
• Able to influence, network, engage with people at all levels of the organisation, building strong working relationships with business leaders. A knowledge of corporate service areas (finance, legal, HR etc) would be advantageous.
• Able to address issues intuitively with integrity by providing independent, objective, courageous and timely advice.
• Able to demonstrate a high level of credibility, integrity, judgment, resilience, and flexibility.
• Able to offer the business pragmatic yet workable solutions.
• Highly collaborative and able to work in partnership with specialist HR teams and the business to generate engagement and commitment to the global people agenda and desired outcomes.
• Personal credibility – able to advise objectively without vested self‑interest, consistently providing a quality counsel and insight. Demonstrate sound judgment and discretion.
• Able to manage competing and conflicting priorities and effectively and demonstrate commercial awareness and business acumen.

Control Risks offers a competitively positioned compensation and benefits package that is transparent and summarised in the full job offer.

We operate a discretionary global bonus scheme that incentivises, and rewards individuals based on company and individual performance.

Control Risks supports hybrid working arrangements, wherever possible, that emphasise the value of in‑person time together – in the office and with our clients – while continuing to support flexible and remote working.
