Our client are looking to appoint an experienced Head of People Shared Services to provide strong, stable leadership to its People Shared Services function during a period of transition.

This is an important leadership opportunity for an experienced People Operations or Shared Services professional who can quickly establish themselves, maintain operational excellence and support a team through change. Based in Newport with 2 days per week on site.

Reporting to the People Services and Operations Director, you will have responsibility for the effective day-to-day leadership of People Shared Services, encompassing People Connect, people technology, data and management information.

The focus of the role is very much on operational continuity, service performance and the delivery of agreed improvements already underway, rather than defining the future strategic direction of the function.

You will provide visible and supportive leadership to the Shared Services team, ensuring colleagues and managers receive a responsive, consistent and effective service. You will also act as a senior escalation point for complex service delivery matters, using your experience and judgement to resolve issues and maintain high standards.

You will ideally bring:

* Proven experience leading operational shared services, People Operations or business services functions.

This role will suit someone who is comfortable operating at pace, can quickly understand a complex operational environment and knows how to balance customer experience, service delivery, risk and control.

You will be a visible and credible leader who can bring the team with you through a period of transition, ensuring priorities are clear and operational performance remains strong.

Success will be measured through the continued achievement of service levels and KPIs, high-quality customer service, effective data and governance controls, successful delivery of agreed improvements and the active management of operational risk.

Most importantly, you will ensure that service continuity is protected, the team feels supported and Shared Services continues to be a valued and effective partner to the wider organisation.
