Introducing the Trainline People Team 👋 At Trainline, our People team plays a vital role in enabling our business and colleagues to thrive through growth, innovation and transformation. As we continue to evolve our People operating model, we're creating more opportunities for our People Partners to focus on strategic partnership, helping leaders build high-performing, future-ready teams. This role sits at the heart of that journey, partnering with our corporate organisation as it navigates organisational transformation, leadership capability, workforce planning and the opportunities presented by AI. As the People Partner, you'll partner with senior corporate leaders to shape and deliver people strategies that enable business performance.

Lead and support organisational design, restructures and business transformation initiatives, including collective consultation where appropriate, ensuring change is delivered thoughtfully, consistently and in line with employment legislation. Champion a proactive approach to people partnering by identifying opportunities through employee health metrics, engagement insights, workforce data and industry trends before issues arise. Support the development of a high-performance culture by coaching leaders through performance management, calibration, capability development and challenging conversations with confidence and fairness. Drive continuous improvement across the People function by identifying opportunities to simplify processes, improve workflows and embrace AI and automation to create greater efficiency and enable more strategic partnering. Collaborate closely with Talent Acquisition, Reward, Learning, People Operations and Legal to deliver integrated people solutions that support both immediate priorities and longer-term organisational goals.
