[Hiring] Senior HR Business Partner @Symphony Solutions

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to work as a strategic partner to business leaders. This is not a support role — you'll sit at the leadership table, influence organisational decisions, and drive people strategy that directly impacts business outcomes. You'll bring a commercial mindset, a track record of navigating complex people challenges, and the confidence to challenge and advise senior stakeholders.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in HR, with at least 3 years in a true HRBP role (not HR generalist or PP)
• Proven experience influencing senior stakeholders and operating at a strategic level
• Strong background in organisational design, workforce planning, and talent management
• Experience navigating complex, multi-geography employment environments
• Confident working with ambiguity and driving decisions without a full playbook
• Analytically strong — comfortable building a business case and presenting data to leadership
• Fluent in English; Ukrainian is a strong advantage

Requirements

• Experience in tech or software services organisations
• Familiarity with AI-augmented HR tools and workflows
• Microsoft 365 ecosystem exposure (Copilot, Power Automate, SharePoint)
• GDPR and EU AI Act knowledge
• Change management certification or formal methodology experience
• AI literacy & ways of working

Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic advisor to senior leadership, translating business priorities into people strategy across multiple geographies
• Lead organisational design conversations — restructuring, workforce planning, spans and layers
• Drive talent strategy: succession planning, critical role identification, and leadership pipeline development
• Own complex employee relations cases — including senior-level situations, cross-border issues, and cases with legal or reputational implications
• Partner with the business on change management — restructures, team transitions, culture shifts
• Define and track people metrics that matter to the business: retention, engagement, performance distribution, headcount efficiency
• Challenge the status quo — identify systemic people issues and bring solutions, not just observations
• Collaborate on AI-powered HR transformation, including intelligent process automation and virtual HR tools
• Ensure compliance with local labour law across UA, MK, NG, and PT, and maintain alignment with GDPR and EU AI Act standards
• Coach and develop senior managers and team leads on leadership effectiveness and organisational health
