Capita's Strategic Transactions (ST) Team is a small specialist HR team with responsibility for ensuring that all people aspects of the following transactions are delivered in support of our objectives.
Transactions are:
- Capita's sales bids and rebids - growth opportunities
- Capita's TUPE activity - internal/external transfers, TUPE In/Out
- Capita's acquisition/divestment activity
You will be responsible for delivering the transactions assigned to you and in doing so, representing the ST Team/People function as a trusted partner and visible leader within relevant transaction teams. You will have the confidence to provide support and positive challenge to the teams we work with. You will balance several transactions at a time and provide subject matter support within the wider ST team as needed.
We work closely with bid teams and transition and transaction delivery teams, as well as with our HRBP and other People Function colleagues, owning and delivering the range of activity and processes to achieve successful outcomes, compliance, governance and assurance for all of transactions mentioned above.
The work we do is specialist, but you will use and enhance the HR generalist skills you already have so far. In delivering the People aspects of sales bids you will gain an insight into and impact how our customer solutions are created as well as inputting directly into the People solution. You will potentially interact with some of our customers in client dialogue sessions and become a part of Capita's success when we win/achieve new business. You will get to know and contribute to the strategic positioning, key themes, the proposed solution and the commercial terms of each transaction to help identify people related challenges and solutions.
Your experience /knowledge of TUPE will be invaluable, but you will also be able to rely on extensive TUPE experience within the team to develop your TUPE skills further - we are a team of TUPE and transition specialists. Managing the People aspects of transfers out, Divestments, and Acquisitions will also be part of the role.
