Job description

At Vista Group, our People & Culture team exists to help our people do their best work by creating an environment where they can grow, perform and belong.

We're looking for a Head of People & Culture Business Partnering to lead our global BP team. This is a key leadership role that sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, leadership and organisational change.

You'll be a trusted advisor to our senior leaders, helping shape how we grow, evolve and support our people as our business continues to transform.

This is not a role for someone who enjoys a highly structured environment where every day looks the same. Priorities shift, new challenges emerge, and you'll need to balance strategic initiatives with real-time business needs across multiple regions and stakeholder groups.

What you'll be doing:

•Lead and develop our global team of P&C Business Partners.

•Partner with senior leaders on organisational design, workforce planning, leadership capability and change initiatives.

•Translate business priorities into practical people solutions that drive impact.

•Coach and support leaders through complex people matters.

•Identify emerging workforce trends, capability needs and future skills requirements.

•Ensure our people practices remain consistent, compliant and fit for purpose across our global locations.

•Contribute to the continued evolution of our People & Culture strategy, including how we embrace AI and new ways of working.

Requirements

What we're looking for:

•Significant experience in a senior HR leadership role, with strong generalist expertise and a business partnering mindset.

•A track record of influencing senior leaders and building trusted relationships across an organisation

•Experience operating in a complex, fast-paced and geographically dispersed environment

•Strong commercial judgement and the ability to balance people needs with business outcomes

•Excellent coaching, leadership and stakeholder management skills

•A pragmatic approach, sound judgement and the confidence to navigate ambiguity

Most importantly, you'll be someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys solving complex problems, can juggle competing priorities, and isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed.

Why Vista?

We're a global business with people across multiple regions, a strong culture, ambitious plans, and plenty of opportunities to make a meaningful impact. You'll join a collaborative People & Culture team and play a key role in shaping the employee experience and leadership capability that supports our future success.

If you're looking for a role where you can influence at a strategic level, lead a great team, and help shape the future of work at Vista, we'd love to hear from you.
