Analyst, Chief Investments Office
Homes England
About the job
Job summary
Working in the Chief Investments Office team, the Analyst will play a critical role in overseeing Investments recruitment and people activity, lead on processes and be an advisory point for hiring managers. You will be joining a small but enthusiastic, friendly and supportive team, who are committed to supporting the Chief Investment Officer and the Investments directorate to deliver on operational priorities and objectives.Job description
The team focuses on delivering a first-class customer service, resolving conflict informally wherever possible, and taking an innovative and creative approach to complex issues that arise in the recruitment and people space. Working in a collaborative way is a priority and the team values diversity in experience and perspective to foster good decision making and creative problem solving.
This is a rare chance to shape the future of the Investments directorate in a fast growing, national organisation with real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders within our Finance and HR teams, you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective resolution of sensitive resource and budget issues. You will work closely with the Investments Senior Leadership Team and will have the opportunity to build and maintain meaningful, trusting relationships.
This role is vital to ensure there is an established recruitment process in Investments and there is a real need for key strategic advice to support budget holders with decision making. There are some exciting projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery whilst bringing innovative solutions to the unique challenges we face.
Person specification
Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our hiring managers, colleagues and stakeholders, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and be able to prioritise high volume workloads accordingly. You will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate, aiming to get to the best result in the most efficient way possible.
You'll be comfortable working with senior colleagues to support with complex, and often sensitive, people issues, aiming to resolve problems or advise where things are outside of our remit. You will be comfortable engaging with colleagues at all levels to ensure HR processes and policies are applied consistently.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a business enabling team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
As a confident communicator you’ll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way. You will be comfortable having difficult conversations, keeping business need at the forefront of your focus.
