HR Integration Senior Manager | UK & Ireland - Hybrid Be at the heart of business transformation. What if your next HR role went beyond business partnering and gave you the opportunity to shape how businesses come together, how people experience change, and how organisations grow? We’re looking for an experienced People & Culture professional to take ownership of the people integration journey following business acquisitions. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of people strategy, business transformation and M&A, playing a pivotal role in bringing acquired businesses together while protecting the talent, culture and client relationships that make them successful. You’ll have genuine visibility with senior leadership, ownership of meaningful integration projects and the opportunity to influence how future acquisitions are delivered. Why this opportunity stands out Lead the people workstream from early integration planning and Day 1 readiness through the first 100 days, stabilisation and final handover. translate acquisition strategy into practical people plans that protect business continuity, retain key talent and support long-term value creation. Partner closely with business leaders, acquired-company stakeholders, People & Culture specialists and programme leadership. Help bring different teams, leadership styles and working practices together while preserving the strengths that make each business distinctive. Track integration progress, employee retention, engagement, workforce priorities and agreed business benefits. Contribute to the development of integration frameworks, playbooks and processes that will shape how future acquisitions are delivered. Work across the UK and Ireland within a hybrid environment, with the opportunity to collaborate across multiple locations and businesses. The role You’ll be the central point of coordination for the people aspects of acquisitions, ensuring that plans move from strategy into successful execution. Working alongside senior stakeholders and specialist teams, you’ll coordinate organisational design, employee transitions, payroll and benefits changes, HR systems, recruitment, learning and employee engagement. You’ll ensure the right people are involved at the right time, risks are identified early, decisions are escalated appropriately and critical milestones are delivered. You’ll also play a key role in managing the human side of change: helping leaders communicate effectively, supporting managers through uncertainty, identifying retention risks and ensuring employees feel informed and supported throughout the transition. This is a delivery-focused position. You won’t be expected to be the technical expert in every HR discipline, but you will need the judgement and project leadership skills to bring the right specialists together and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. From initial readiness through to business-as-usual handover, you’ll have a clear line of sight between your work and the success of each integration. What you’ll bring We’re interested in professionals who combine strong people expertise with the commercial awareness and delivery discipline needed to manage complex business change. You’ll ideally bring: Significant experience in HR, People & Culture, HR business partnering, organisational change or people integration. Direct experience leading the people aspects of M&A integrations, acquisitions or comparable business transformation programmes. Experience in professional services, accountancy, consulting or another complex, partnership-led and client-facing environment. Strong project management skills, including integration planning, milestones, dependencies, risk management and progress reporting. Sound working knowledge of UK employment law, employee consultation, employee transfers and employee relations, with the ability to engage legal and technical specialists when required. Experience supporting organisational design, cultural alignment, leadership engagement and employee retention. The confidence to influence senior stakeholders, challenge constructively and navigate competing priorities. Excellent communication skills and the ability to handle sensitive information and change-related conversations with discretion. Experience across multiple acquisitions, UK and Ireland operations, or the development of integration playbooks would be advantageous. A CIPD qualification or equivalent professional accreditation is also desirable. Who will thrive here? You’re someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity. You can move comfortably between strategic discussions with leadership and the practical detail required to deliver an integration successfully. You understand that successful M&A is about more than systems, structures and processes. It’s about people, trust, communication and ensuring that the business continues to perform while change takes place. You’re resilient, commercially minded and comfortable taking ownership in an environment where priorities can evolve quickly. The next step in your career This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional HR business partnering and into a role where you can influence acquisition outcomes, shape the employee experience and build a valuable specialism in people integration. If you’re ready to combine people strategy, M&A and hands-on delivery in a role with real business impact, we’d welcome a confidential conversation.

HR Consultant - Belfast Discover Your Potential. Build Your Career. We're a growing professional services group supporting individuals, family businesses and organisations across the UK and beyond. Our specialisms span the full range of business advisory work — from finance and tax through to people, payroll and talent consultancy — and we work with clients as they grow, from ambitious start-ups to established, scaling businesses. We believe our people come first. We build strong client relationships through genuine partnership, straightforward advice and a real understanding of what our clients need. We invest heavily in our team, offering structured training, support toward professional qualifications, and plenty of room to grow into new challenges as your career develops. We're also committed to doing right by our communities and the environment, with active volunteering, training and sustainability programmes running throughout the business.   The Opportunity We're hiring a HR Consultant to join our people consultancy team, on a full-time basis. We're looking for someone who is working towards a Level 7 Advanced CIPD accreditation (or equivalent), with solid experience operating in a strategic HR capacity. About the Team We're a dedicated people consultancy, helping client organisations with everything from HR and employee relations to health & safety and talent development. Our specialists work closely with each client to really understand their business, then tailor support around what they actually need — whether that's advice on a single issue or ongoing partnership as their HR function scales. We're proud to work with some of the most ambitious and fast-growing businesses in the country, and being part of a larger advisory group means we can also call on specialist expertise from across finance and other business disciplines when clients need it. Above everything, our approach comes down to our people — we look for driven, curious individuals and give them the platform to become genuine experts in their field, which is a big part of why we've been recognised for the quality of our team. About the Role This is a great opportunity for someone building their HR career (roughly 4+ years' experience) who's currently in an internal HR role and wants to move into consultancy, where you're working directly with a portfolio of clients and giving commercial, practical advice rather than sitting inside one organisation. Equally, it would suit someone already in a consultancy setting who's looking for a smaller, closer-knit team with real scope to grow. You'll need a solid grounding in HR and employment law, but just as importantly, the appetite to keep developing, build relationships quickly, and support a varied client base across different sectors. No two days look the same. Our clients sit at very different stages of growth — some just starting out, others established SMEs, scale-ups or larger organisations — so the role calls for someone comfortable being both proactive and reactive to deliver a consistently excellent service. Day to day, you can expect to be: Giving commercially minded, practical advice on day-to-day HR and employment issues, with a strong focus on employee relations. Working with clients to review and improve their existing HR setup, recommending and helping implement new tools, processes and ways of working. Advising management teams on applying HR policy in practice, and supporting them to recruit, onboard and manage new starters. Helping clients build inclusive, values-led cultures and working environments. Supporting and mentoring junior team members, and acting as a first point of contact for HR queries and management guidance. Preparing documentation to support client processes such as onboarding, appraisals, probation, absence management, employee relations cases, benefits administration, contracts and offboarding. Reviewing and refreshing template toolkits and client-facing documentation. What You'll Bring At least 4 years of applied HR and employee relations experience, including a working knowledge of relevant employment legislation, and the ability to turn that into clear, practical guidance for clients. Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues simply and without jargon, tailored to what each client actually needs. Sharp questioning and listening skills to properly understand a client's situation before proposing a solution. A flexible, consultative style — commercially minded and genuinely client-focused when solving problems. The ability to build trust and rapport quickly, both with clients and colleagues. Discretion and a strong sense of confidentiality. A proactive, improvement-minded approach to developing new tools and ways of working. A responsive, service-oriented mindset — you'll often be representing the business directly to clients. A genuine interest in continuous learning and professional development. Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities. Willingness to travel to client sites and other office locations as needed. CIPD qualification (or working towards one). Experience with HR system implementation would be a bonus. A full driving licence and access to a car, as the role involves regular travel to clients. This is a fast-moving role and the list above isn't exhaustive — there's plenty of scope to get involved in a wider range of work, mentor others, and be supported by experienced managers as you build your consultancy career.   What's On Offer We want people to feel properly supported, both in and outside of work, so our benefits package covers wellbeing, lifestyle and long-term career development. Time off & family support Generous annual leave (plus public holidays), with the option to buy or carry over days Enhanced parental leave (maternity, paternity and adoption) A paid day each year to volunteer for a cause you care about Health & wellbeing Private medical insurance, with the option to add family members 24/7 employee assistance programme for mental health and wellbeing support Death in service cover Financial security A competitive pension scheme Life assurance for you and your family Flexible working Hybrid working as standard A genuinely flexible approach to hours and where you work Modern offices designed for collaboration and focus
