Dato: for 2 dage siden
By: Århus, Region Midtjylland
Kontrakttype: Fuld tid
As a People Partner at GroupM Aarhus you will coordinate and carry out our People & Culture agenda and initiatives related thereto and across our People Community. You will understand the needs of employees and align with all Aarhus units, Aarhus leadership and the full GroupM business.

Each agency in Copenhagen has a People Partner (similar to an HR Business Partner), and we are looking for a new colleague to support our Aarhus team of 45 colleagues working across GroupM, Wavemaker and EssenceMediacom.

Key Responsibilities

As a People Partner you will be overall responsible for driving below areas and initiatives related to the People & Culture agenda in close collaboration with the People Leads, and the rest of the People Community. To us, the People Partner must always have an overview of the People landscape.

People Development Cycle

Driving talent performance, and in cooperation with the leadership ensuring goal-setting, career-development and performance review conversations with all employees are being conducted and reported in CultureAmp (our joint People Development platform).

HR support

Responsible for keeping an overview of personnel matters in collaboration with the People Operation Team.

  • Support both employees and managers by being an ambassador in relation to all HR matters.
  • Being the critical voice ensuring all aspects in relation to HR matters are being considered/taking into account.
  • Assist in personnel matters, terminations, and HR-related issues.

Talent Planning

The overall Talent Planning is a joint responsibility between the People Partner, management, team leads and Talent Team. However, the People Partner plays an essential role in contributing to the bigger puzzle by looking one to six to 12 months ahead to ensure that all teams have the right talents in place.

Learning and development, course and education planning

The overall offering of learning and development opportunities is planned by the People Partners, Talent Team, and management. On an agency level, the PP is responsible for:

  • Proactively drive and develop the educational program.
  • Facilitating the flow and ensuring the progress of employees participating in courses.
  • Administrative planning of employees to participate in education and development courses.

But you also have responsibilities within:

  • Recruitment & Onboarding - coordinating processes that ensure a continuous flow of the right talent.
  • Internship Program - an essential part of the organization’s talent attraction.
  • Mental Health Ambassador - ensuring the effective implementation of programs to promote well-being among employees.

How To Succeed As a People Partner

The ideal colleague is first and foremost passionate about people development and culture. It requires teamwork and networking skills and the ability to engage and motivate others to learn and grow. As a People Partner, you are motivated by the success of others and seeing the organization, the leaders and the talents grow.

You have physical presence at the office where the People Partner is a known face to the employees and a go-to person for employees who view the PP as open, a person who listens to their needs, and who is approachable – also for those who just need “two minutes”.

To fill the PP role, you need to have:

  • Strong business understanding and extensive operational experience.
  • HR and/or leadership experience.
  • Experience with team facilitation.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills.
  • Experience in facilitating change initiatives and projects.
  • Ability to build a plan and execute it accordingly.

OUR PEOPLE COMMUNITY

As a People Partner, you will be the forefront in Aarhus in close collaboration with the local leadership. In Copenhagen you will find our People Lead, who are overall responsible for the People Strategy and shaped by the business and drive the people agenda from the top down. And then you will find 3-4 People Partner colleagues who share the responsibilities between our agencies and specialist units.

Additionally, we have a central People Operation Team (HR admin, benefits, etc.) and a Talent Team focusing on recruitment, talent pipeline, education program, and leadership coordination.

Who We Are

We are the leading media agency group in the Nordics with more than 1.200 employees working across our agencies Mindshare, EssenceMediacom, Wavemaker, Choreograph and GroupM. Our capabilities include Media, Communication, Creativity, e-commerce, Customer Experience and Data & Technology, all united under a vision to shape the next era of media and communication where advertising works better for people.
