You’ll ensure the People Partnering team operates as a high-performing, value-adding function aligned to the University’s priorities.

You’ll also play a critical role in developing organisational capability, embedding values-led leadership, strengthening engagement, and ensuring the University continues to evolve as an inclusive, high-performing workplace.

Lead large-scale transformation and change programmes
Champion Equality, Diversity & Inclusion and values-led leadership
Ensure high standards of governance, risk management and professional practice
Collaborate across the wider People Team to deliver integrated people solutions

What We’re Looking For

Significant experience operating at a senior HR Business Partner or equivalent leadership level
Proven track record of leading and developing HR/People teams
Strong experience of influencing and advising senior leaders within complex organisations
Demonstrable experience of delivering strategic people initiatives and large-scale change
Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder management skills
Ability to balance strategic leadership with operational delivery
Strong analytical capability, using insight to drive decisions and outcomes
A passion for developing inclusive, values-driven and high-performing cultures

Why Join Us?

At Edinburgh Napier University, we’re committed to innovation, collaboration and excellence. This is an opportunity to shape the future of our People Partnering function and make a meaningful impact across the University.

If you’re ready to lead at scale, influence at the highest level, and drive real organisational change, we’d love to hear from you.

At ENU, we offer a great working environment where we support ambition, recognise achievement, and offer other excellent benefits including:

Minimum of 41 days annual leave (including 10 fixed holidays)

A generous pension scheme (employer contribution of 17.6%)
35 hour work week
Various learning and development opportunities
