Head of Business HR

We're hiring a Head of Business HR to help develop and build the people practices that support Reaktor's next phase: a growing software product business alongside our core technology solutions work.

Reaktor is turning a consulting-led technology company into a diversified technology group, with a software product business growing alongside the technology solutions core that has carried us for 25 years. That shift will succeed or stall on people decisions: which leaders we back, how we organise, how we pay, and how talent moves between businesses that make money in different ways. You lead those decisions where they happen, in the business.

We're around 700 people, organised into business portfolios, each with a People Partner. We're raising what that role means: partners who shape how their portfolio grows, organises, and leads, with our operations team handling the operational work. You lead the partners, partner directly with senior business leaders, and build the people model for Reaktor's growing product business.

The role has three parts.

Lead the partners. You lead, coach, and develop the People Partner team and define what great partnering looks like at Reaktor: partners who come to a business review with a view on capability, cost, and risk, measured by the decisions they shape and the people metrics that move the business.

Build the people model for product. You lead on writing the playbook for how Reaktor builds, pays, and grows product teams, and partner with our product leadership directly while it takes shape, alongside the People Partner who covers our wider defence and security portfolio.

Raise the leadership bar. You help us hire, develop and keep leaders who set the standard, and make sure leadership quality shows up in our talent decisions.
