    Department purpose

    The Human Resources (HR) department at A&O Shearman provides top-tier support and strategic guidance to the organisation. Operating at a business partner level, the HR team offers expert advice and services across various HR functions, including learning & development, resourcing, reward management, employee relations, payroll, systems, and administration.

    The Belfast HR team plays a pivotal role in shaping strategic discussions and initiatives within the office and contributes to global initiatives within the firm. This is a generalist role which involves regular interaction with leadership teams, line managers and staff at all levels. Activities include the local delivery of key processes such as reward management, employee engagement, talent management and resource planning while also addressing day-to-day HR needs like recruitment and employee relations.

    Employees in this role have decision-making authority within established policies but will refer matters outside of the norm to the Head of HR as well as peers within the team. Given the dynamic nature of the business, change management is a critical aspect of the position, requiring adaptability and strategic thinking.

  • Contributing to strategic planning processes.
  • Facilitating Talent discussions and succession planning.
  • Cultivating the client group's culture through HR initiatives.
  • Supporting Group leadership in fostering a high-performance culture.
  • Providing advice on HR matters, particularly regarding risk and cost management for the client group.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the senior management team within the client group by:

  • Advising on HR issues related to recruitment, development, and retention, collaborating with central HR teams and other support departments.
  • Proactively identifying and resolving employee relations issues.
  • Collaborating with the training and development team to assess and address development needs.
  • Overseeing the salary and bonus review process, analysing survey data, and developing action plans.
  • Providing data to the Finance team for budgeting and resource planning.
  • Managing career breaks, unpaid leave, and flexible working arrangements.
  • Conducting exit interviews, analysing feedback, and taking appropriate action.
  • Assisting management in shaping performance, recognition, and reward policies, as well as talent programs, and advising on local implementation.
  • Key requirements

    Possess a Graduate Qualification with CIPD or similar certification, demonstrating technical competence in employment law, compliance practices, and HR policies through extensive HR experience, in a Business Partnering role or HR Advisory capacity preferably within corporate, finance, professional services, consultancy, or law firms.

    Exhibit strong organisational skills, enabling effective year-ahead planning, alongside a proven track record of successful collaboration with senior management in complex international organisations.

    Demonstrate robust commercial acumen, capable of influencing strategic direction and creative issue resolution, coupled with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage with stakeholders at all levels, particularly senior management, fostering strong client relationships.

    Thrive in a collaborative team environment, contributing to fast-paced, intellectually rigorous settings, demonstrating flexibility, resilience, and sound judgment when addressing sensitive issues.

    Should you require additional support at any stage of the recruitment process due to a disability or a health condition, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our recruitment team who will work with you to provide any adjustments as required.

    We are an equal opportunities recruiter and do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
