Human Resources Business Partner, Technology & Operations

Job Description

What is the opportunity? As a Human Resources Business Partner, you will provide strategic advice and counsel to Senior Leaders and their respective leadership teams in Technology & Operations (T&O), specifically Innovation & Technology, including RBC Borealis, on all aspects of human resources including talent management, diversity, organizational design, change management, workforce management, leadership, employee development, performance management and rewards and recognition.
What will you do?The following are key outcomes that you will drive in the HRBP role. Although listed separately, they often overlap and one influences the other.

Your role will require you to constantly prioritize, re-prioritize, and integrate these outcomes:

Talent Sourcing, Performance and Development. You will work with the leadership team to acquire and assess talent. You will recommend ways to develop people to better perform their current roles and/or to prepare them for future roles. This will include informal 1:1 dialogues to create development plans as well as managing HR’s performance, development, and succession cycles. This also includes the performance and development of the Leaders themselves, where you will provide feedback, coaching, and formal development recommendations.

Advice and Consultation. The people-related questions and issues a Leader faces every day are as unique as the individuals that make up RBC. You will partner effectively with the Leaders and with other sources of expertise in HR to provide your best advice and counsel on how to resolve issues and concerns in a way that meets the needs of the individual and the organization.

You will also be conversant with HR Data and its analysis so that you can inform decision-making and recommend actions around important topics such as Diversity and Inclusion, Engagement and all other outcomes listed here.

Organization Development and Change. Recognizing that the context within which people work (e.g. the organization structure, reward/compensation systems, leadership, their teams, and culture) all have an effect on their productivity and enjoyment, you will help Leaders in T&O to utilize these levers to achieve desired results and engagement while helping people to adopt any associated changes.

HR Strategy Execution. In your role, it will be key that you understand HR’s People and Culture strategy and are working with your the Leaders to determine people and organization implications for their teams. You will be an active force in imagining how the strategies apply and in determining local initiatives to ensure they are executed within the teams you support.

T&O Strategy Execution. The Leaders you support will be designing strategies to achieve business objectives. You will participate in the development of those strategies, and anticipate the people and organization impacts so that they can be fully considered in the design and implementation of those strategies.
