The Senior HR Business Partner acts as the strategic HR partner to Digital Engineering & MVNx Service Towers, with end-to-end accountability for HR delivery and people strategy across a complex, global organisation. The role will partner with the VOIS Digital Engineering leadership and team as their trusted HR lead.
The role operates in a highly complex, international environment, partnering with business areas spanning multiple geographies including Hungary, Turkey, Germany, the UK and Spain. It supports two critical business areas undergoing significant and concurrent transformation: one being established as a new strategic capability for Vodafone, in partnership with Vodafone Investments and as a key priority for the Group CEO; and the other undergoing a fundamental end-to-end transformation to evolve the operating model and ways of working.
The future-state design and operating model for these areas remains evolving, requiring the role holder to operate with a high degree of autonomy, exercising independent judgement with limited direction while navigating significant ambiguity. The role demands strong engagement with senior stakeholders to shape and execute transformation, including constructively challenging leadership to ensure organisational design, workforce decisions and ways of working are aligned to VOIS principles. The supported organisation is expected to scale, and operates across markets with varying regulatory complexity, requiring the ability to deliver transformation at pace while ensuring compliance within local legal frameworks.
The role is responsible for defining and executing integrated people plans that enable the achievement of business strategy, leading people change and transformation across the Digital Engineering teams, and driving organisational effectiveness, workforce planning, talent and transformation outcomes, including building capability and a more AI-enabled, future-ready organisation, and ensuring delivery of critical hiring, workforce and change outcomes required to enable customer and commercial priorities.
Operating as the primary HR interface to leadership teams, the role influences decision-making through insight-led people recommendations, provides senior oversight on complex people risk, employee relations and organisational change, and ensures effective delivery of the VOIS People Strategy, HR operating model and annual people calendar across VOIS, embedding a high-performance, inclusive and values-led culture.
