As an HR Business Partner at EY GDS, you will operate as a strategic advisor and a trusted partner to our service line leadership. Your role will go far beyond traditional HR support — you will help shape people priorities, anticipate talent needs, and influence strategic decisions that enable business growth.

You will combine maturity, business acumen and operational agility, developing a deep understanding of the service line’s direction while translating HR and Talent strategy into impactful actions. You will also play a key role in providing and interpreting people insights to guide leadership decisions and strengthen our talent agenda.

• Create a positive and connected employee experience, building engagement and a strong sense of belonging.
• Lead and support key areas such as engagement, performance management, workforce planning, organization design, staffing, learning & development, rewards & recognition, and HR program deployment.
• Proactively identify talent risks and opportunities; manage and escalate HR concerns with sound judgement.
• Own people insights: maintain and interpret key HR metrics (e.g., retention, inclusion, headcount), delivering clear, meaningful analytics.
• Contribute to global and local projects focused on digitalization, process simplification and continuous improvement — bringing a modern, growth‑oriented HR mindset.

 

To qualify for the role, you must have

 

• 5+ years of HR experience, ideally with hands‑on HR Business Partner exposure within a multinational environment.
• Sound understanding of labour law and modern HR practices.
• Excellent English and Polish communication skills — clear, influential and concise.
• A proactive, agile mindset with a strong sense of ownership.
• Confidence in engaging with senior stakeholders; ease operating in a matrix and global environment.
• Strong analytical, organizational and problem‑solving capabilities.
• Empathy, resilience and strong interpersonal skills — including the ability to navigate conflict constructively.
• A global mindset and cultural sensitivity, enabling effective cross‑border collaboration.

 

Ideally, you’ll also have

 

• A degree or postgraduate qualifications in Psychology, Economics or HR.
• Experience in consulting or a similar professional services environment.
• Experience working in complex, virtual, geographically dispersed teams.

 

What we look for

 

• Someone energized by collaboration and partnership in a fast‑moving, matrixed environment.
