**Job summary**:
**Business Unit Overview**

The government spends around £49 billion each year on contracts with third-party providers. Not only is this a huge sum of money, it also represents a vast array of important (and often life-enhancing or life-saving) goods and services, making the government’s need for capable commercial specialists increasingly important. Recognising this, the Government Commercial Organisation (GCO) was established in 2014 to be the employer of senior commercial professionals (now Grade 7 and above) and support departments in improving their commercial capability.

Working to the Government’s Chief Commercial Officer, the award-winning Commercial Capability Team, was set up at the same time, within the Cabinet Office to support those in the GCO and the wider Government Commercial Function (GCF). Over the past few years the size of the GCO has increased to circa 1500 employees, and requires a team of professionals to support this population.

The HR Operations Team acts as the central engine room, supporting the delivery of key objectives to improve the workplace, ways of working and employee experience, whilst ensuring the key administrative responsibilities of the People Services teams are efficiently managed and governed. The team also effectively manages relationships across a diverse range of stakeholders and boundaries.

Reporting to the Deputy Director of the Commercial Capability People Services team, the Head of Operations - People Services role offers a fantastic opportunity for a person with a passion for delivering and improving the customer journey. It is a multi-faceted role comprising the delivery of services across Recruitment, HR, Business Partnering, Talent, Performance Management and Reward requiring the role holder to balance strategic and operational demands.

**Job description**:
The main responsibilities of this role involve leadership and direction of the People Services Operations team. Key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

- ** HR Services**: leading a team of circa 10 people to ensure that they are providing clear, timely and accurate HR advice to the Commercial Specialists employed in the GCO. This involves collaborative working with the wider Heads of HR to provide customer focused HR activity across the full employee life cycle.
- ** HR Systems**: overseeing the current HR system and helping to ensure that any new system will meet the needs of GCO employees and the organisation is ready for the change. This involves attending Workday board meetings and the design authority meeting to approve changes or feed in requirements to improve the user journey.
- ** New joiners**: being accountable for the new joiner experience ensuring the onboarding process is smooth and in the future working with the Head of Recruitment to integrate the recruitment operations team into the current HR operational team.
- ** Performance Management**: ensuring the system enables the new approach to performance management to be delivered effectively. This involves working with the Head of Performance & Talent in particular to design suitable solutions and engagement sessions to help build line manager capability.
- ** Pay and annual pay award**: managing the third-party payroll provider so that employees are paid on time, escalations are resolved and errors reduced plus supporting the operational delivery of the annual pay award so that annual compensation changes are delivered in line with the strategy. This involves working with the Head of Reward in particular.
- ** Finance and budget management**: managing the relevant budget ensuring that appropriate cost and controls are in place to pay our suppliers. This involves working with finance and commercial colleagues.
- ** HR Policy Development/Continuous Improvement**: Development of HR Policy and champion best practise with innovative ways of working that deliver a high-quality service for end users, which promotes growth and efficiency within the team.
