Hello!
Thank you for your interest in the HR Business Partner role at BIMA and for taking the time to explore this opportunity.
Having joined the business in 2018, I have seen us take significant steps in building a Global Group of HR professionals that is at the heart of growing and transforming our company.
We are really excited about the opportunities we have as a business and the impact we are making to the lives of many of the under-served people in the countries we operate in.
This role will be critical in helping me to build on the work we have done so far, to ensure we have an HR Team that can help BIMA deliver its ambitious goals in the coming years.
I hope as you read more about the opportunity you will see why we are so excited about what BIMA is looking to achieve and the difference we are making
With Best regards,
Lee Burrows (Global Head of Human Resources at BIMA)
Role overview:
The Global HR Business Partner is based in London and reports to the Head of Global HR. Both are supported by an HR Assistant role (also based in London) and the remainder of the HR Team is made up of local HR Managers, spread across the 10 countries where BIMA operates (scroll down to see HR Org Chart).
This role will work closely with the Head of HR to build the capability of this group to develop, roll out and embed a range of global HR activities, processes, and initiatives. The ability to mentor and collaborate with the international team (all of whom are developing their own HR capabilities) is key to the success.
Partnering with senior business leaders, the HRBP will need to quickly gain an understanding of the business strategy and drivers to support the Head of HR with developing and executing an HR strategy to drive business results – the impact upon the bottom line in this role is clear and immediate.
The HRBP will work on cross-company global initiatives as well as supporting local HR Managers in the company’s markets in Asia and Africa, to drive business impact in their HR work. The HRBP will need to be comfortable partnering on the full spectrum of people-related topics, often with local HR Managers who are building their own HR skill set.
