Job description

At McLaren, our mission is to set the standard for high performance in sport. And everyone, in every part of the team, has a role to play. So if you want to test your ideas with the world watching... And measure your progress in milliseconds... And play your part in racing history... You belong here. High performance starts with you.

Purpose of the Role:
As our team grows, you’ll be helping us on our journey to becoming a World Championship contending race team - by making sure we also become a world leading employer.

You will be confident in providing tailored, operational advice and support, and rolling out agreed initiatives. As a confident HR practitioner, you will be able to act as a sounding board, provide key solutions as well as build and foster strong working relationships – being an integral part of the teams you support.

Role Dimensions

Your main stakeholders will include our team members, team leaders, managers and senior managers in the functional areas you support, collaborating closely with the relevant Finance Business Partners too.
