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.

Responsibilities

  • 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

  • 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.

Benefits

  • Excellent work/life balance: enjoy a 4 ½ day working week.
  • Hybrid working: split your time between home and our office.
  • Movie perks!
  • Volunteer day: you can take time out to give back to your community.
  • Fantastic company culture (weekly drinks, good coffee, regular workplace events, etc.)
