People Advisory Partners use data, analytics and insight to inform decisions and enable the right outcomes to maximise business performance. You will be expected to proactively work with global HR teams owning key tasks to deliver high quality outcomes and within deadlines.

Barclays Europe is an inspiring place to be: we’re building a truly European bank with the support of one of the world’s largest and most respected financial institutions. We have a clear mission, huge sense of momentum and the energy of a new business. All of which means we can offer agile, determined and resilient people a platform for remarkable professional and personal growth.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager.
