• Collaborating with the Training team to deploy learning solutions that close performance gaps
• Acting as a liaison between store teams and central People Operations
• Driving awareness and participation in company-wide team member engagement programmes

• 5+ years of HR experience, with at least 2–3 years in an HR Business Partner or strategic HR role
• Experience supporting multi-site operations, ideally in retail or a distributed workforce environment
• Demonstrated success across employee relations, engagement strategy, performance management, and workforce analytics
• Strong business acumen with the ability to align people strategy to operational goals
