Primary Objective: Paperchase Accountancy is seeking a results-oriented Assistant Manager/ Manager – Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) to serve as a strategic people partner to an assigned business unit, translating business priorities into coherent people interventions that strengthen talent effectiveness, employee experience and organizational capability. This is not a transactional HR administration role; it is a mandate to sit at the table with business leaders and shape how people practices advance commercial outcomes. Operating at the intersection of business strategy and employee experience, the incumbent will own the full employee lifecycle for the assigned unit — from performance management and talent identification to engagement, retention and workforce analytics — ensuring that every people intervention is grounded in business context and measured against business impact. The successful candidate will be a credible advisor to line managers, a trusted point of contact for employees, and a builder of the mechanisms — dashboards, forums, frameworks — that make people decisions evidence-based rather than reactive. Why This Role Matters Paperchase operates in a competitive talent market where the ability to attract, develop and retain the right people is a direct driver of business performance. As business units scale and client commitments intensify, the quality of on-ground HR partnering determines whether growth translates into a stable, engaged and high-performing workforce. The Manager – HRBP is the primary custodian of that partnership at the business-unit level. The role exists to ensure that performance conversations happen on schedule and add value, that high-potential talent is identified and nurtured rather than lost to attrition, that the employee voice is heard and acted upon, and that people data informs decisions rather than sitting unused in a dashboard. In short, the mandate is to make HR partnering a source of business advantage — practical, data-informed and close to the ground.

• Drive recognition and rewards programmes that make consistent high performance visible and valued.
• Partner with leadership on identifying critical talent and top performers whose loss would materially impact business continuity.

• Generate insights and recommendations from people data, translating numbers into specific interventions.
• Support data-driven decision making across the HR agenda, from workforce planning to retention strategy. 8. Change Management & Culture Initiatives
