• Coaching leaders on team performance, engagement, and retention
• Analysing engagement survey data and people metrics to identify trends and drive targeted action plans
• Supporting performance enablement through coaching, feedback, and development initiatives
• Collaborating with the Training team to deploy learning solutions that close performance gaps
• Acting as a liaison between store teams and central People Operations
• Driving awareness and participation in company-wide team member engagement programmes

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of HR experience, with at least 2–3 years in an HR Business Partner or strategic HR role
• Experience supporting multi-site operations, ideally in retail or a distributed workforce environment
• Demonstrated success across employee relations, engagement strategy, performance management, and workforce analytics
• Strong business acumen with the ability to align people strategy to operational goals
• Exceptional relationship-building and stakeholder management skills
• Knowledge of employment law and HR compliance standards
• PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, or SHRM-SCP certification preferred
• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, Organisational Development, or related field preferred

Schedule
