People & Culture Business Partner

Are you a strategic People Partner who thrives on influence, challenge, continuous improvement, and commercial impact? We are looking for a pragmatic, outcomes-focused professional to partner with our senior leadership teams across a large and complex Operations environment, driving high performance, shaping workforce decisions, and delivering long-term organisational effectiveness.

Who Are We?

Movera is a flourishing platform business that brings together ambitious home moving brands from across the sector. Built on the heritage and passion of experienced legal services businesses including ONP Solicitors and Cavendish Legal Group, brought together to transform the moving market for the better. Our vision is to create moving and remortgaging experiences to be celebrated – not tolerated. As we continue to scale, our People & Culture team plays a critical enabling role - creating the conditions for sustainable growth through strong foundations, clear accountability, data-led decision-making, and the development of high-performing talent. Much of this impact happens behind the scenes, working in partnership with leaders to ensure the organisation is set up to succeed.

The Role

This is a true partnering role within the People Business Partnering & Operations function, designed for someone who thrives on influence and strategic impact rather than day-to-day HR delivery.

Working closely with senior leaders across our Operational functions, you will act as a trusted partner, providing the insight, constructive challenge, and organisational thinking needed to shape workforce decisions and drive continuous improvement.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Strategic Leadership Partnering: Enable senior leaders to make confident, commercially sound workforce decisions through strategic challenge, insight, and alignment with business priorities.
• Organisational & Team Effectiveness: Partner with leaders on organisation design, role clarity, and capability mapping to build high-performing teams.
• Leadership Capability: Strengthen leadership effectiveness through feedback, coaching, and constructive challenge, empowering leaders to build accountable and engaged teams.
• Talent, Succession & Career Pathways: Partner with leaders to identify high-potential talent, map future capability and succession needs, and mitigate succession risks while supporting career pathways that strengthen internal mobility and retention.
• Engagement & Colleague Experience: Use workforce and engagement analytics to identify trends, mitigate risks, and execute targeted action plans that deliver measurable improvements in colleague engagement, retention and experience.
• Change Navigation: Guide leaders through organisational change, managing risk, assessing impacts, and maintaining engagement and high performance throughout periods of change.
• Joined-up People Solutions: Partner seamlessly with Learning & Development, Talent, and People Operations to build joined-up solutions that support operational priorities and ensure a consistent colleague experience.
• Continuous Improvement & Tech Innovation: Champion simplified ways of working and leverage HR technology, automation, and AI to improve productivity, insight generation, and colleague experience.
• Cultural Embedding: Partner with leaders to bring Movera’s values and cultural ambitions to life into clear leadership behaviours, expectations, and operational ways of working.

What You'll Bring

• Pragmatic & Outcomes-Focused: A solutions-oriented mindset that prioritises meaningful business impact over rigid processes or box-ticking.
• Commercial Acumen & Data-Led: Strong commercial intuition with a commitment to using workforce metrics and data to challenge assumptions and inform strategy.
• Constructive Challenge & Influence: Confidence to challenge senior stakeholders constructively with a genuine curiosity for the "why" behind decisions.
• Organisational Design Thinking: Ability to evaluate organisational structures, role clarity, and ways of working to drive scalability and efficiency.
• Tech & Innovation Curiosity: Enthusiasm for technology, automation, and AI tools, and how they can be leveraged to streamline processes and elevate insight.
• Collaborative Mindset: A track record of building trusted relationships across the business and wider People functions to deliver shared outcomes.
• Navigating Ambiguity: Comfort operating at pace in complex, fast-changing, and operationally demanding environments.

Experience You'll Draw On

• Strategic Business Partnering: Proven experience operating as a People Business Partner within complex, fast-paced, or operationally demanding environments.
• Org Design & Change: Practical experience supporting organisation design, team effectiveness, and embedded change initiatives.
• Leadership & Talent Strategy: Track record in strengthening leadership capability, talent mapping, and succession planning.
• Data & HR Systems: Confidence leveraging HRIS, workforce analytics, and engagement insights to shape business decisions.
• CoE Partnership: Experience collaborating closely with L&D, Talent, and People Ops functions to deliver cohesive solutions.
• Bonus / Beneficial Experience: Exposure to HRIS/tech implementations, AI tools in HR, reward principles/cycles, or career pathway/talent architecture frameworks.
