Job description

The People Organization Division (POD) partners with GovTech's leaders and business divisions to shape how we organise, develop, and grow our people. We're hiring a People Business Partner to take strategic ownership of a portfolio of business units, working alongside division leaders to translate business direction into the workforce composition, team structure, and talent decisions that will move it forward.

What you will be working on:

• Workforce planning and organisational design. Shape the size, structure, and capabilities of the workforce in your portfolio. Lead workforce reviews and organisational design work in partnership with division leaders.
• Performance management. Drive the performance and calibration cycle across your portfolio. Coach people managers to lift the quality and consistency of how performance is led.
• Talent and succession. Build the talent map for your portfolio, identify and develop successors for critical roles, and partner leaders on growing the next layer of leadership.
• Manager capability and leadership development. Strengthen the people manager bench in your portfolio. Partner with the relevant teams to bring leadership development into the flow of how managers actually lead.
• Employee relations. Provide judgement and counsel on sensitive people matters across the employee lifecycle, balancing organisational interests with care for individuals.
• Strategic partnership. Work alongside division heads as a thinking partner on organisational direction - diagnosing where the business is, anticipating where it needs to go, and recommending the people moves that get it there.

What we are looking for:

• 10+ years of HR experience, with substantial time spent partnering senior business leaders.
• Demonstrated track record across workforce planning, organisational design, performance management, and talent and succession.
• Strategic mindset. Comfortable with ambiguity, able to hold a clear point of view, and confident influencing leaders through credibility.
• Strong judgement on sensitive people matters and the maturity to navigate them with discretion.
• Works effectively across the HR ecosystem - partnering COEs, peers, and the business to deliver integrated solutions.
