Our Mission  

We unleash the potential of organisations through the science of board effectiveness, building better businesses and benefiting society. 

The Role  

Board Intelligence is a leading governance technology and advisory firm, PE-backed and in active growth. We are building an AI-first operating model — not as a future ambition, but as a present-day commercial imperative. Our People strategy has AI Readiness as a core pillar, and the People function is expected to lead from the front in demonstrating what AI-enabled work looks like in practice.

The AI/HR Business Partner is a newly created role sitting at the intersection of People and AI. With an HR foundation and a forward-facing digital mindset, this person partners with the CPO and business leaders to redesign how work gets done — embedding AI into role design, workflows, and capability development across the organisation.

This is not a traditional HR generalist role. It is a commercially aware, technically curious People professional who understands both the human and operational dimensions of an AI-augmented workforce. HR and ER responsibilities are retained but delivered through a modern, data and technology-enabled lens.

You are AI-fluent, tool-agnostic, and instinctively reach for LLMs to accelerate your work — whether that's synthesising survey and attrition data to surface people-management patterns, prototyping workshop content and roleplay scenarios in hours instead of weeks, or building prompt-driven workflows that personalise enablement at scale.

The CPO owns the organisational design strategy. This role is the CPO's delivery partner in bringing that strategy to life — working directly with function heads and managers to identify, design, and implement AI-enabled ways of working at team and role level.

Main Responsibilities

AI Enablement & Organisational Design Support

• Partner with the CPO to map and redesign roles across functions, identifying where AI can augment, automate, or reframe how work is done
• Work directly with function heads and managers to assess AI readiness at team level — identifying skill gaps, workflow inefficiencies, and role evolution opportunities
• Support the design and implementation of AI-augmented role profiles, ensuring job architecture reflects an AI-first operating model
• Translate CPO-led org design decisions into practical implementation plans at team level, managing change sensitively and effectively
• Build manager capability to lead in an AI-enabled environment — facilitating workshops, providing coaching, and developing practical toolkits
• Track and report on AI readiness across the workforce, surfacing insight and progress to the CPO

HR Business Partnering

• Act as a trusted Business Partner to allocated functions — providing commercially grounded HR advice to managers and leaders
• Use people data, analytics and AI-assisted tools to anticipate workforce risks and identify opportunities before they require escalation
• Support managers to lead their teams through change with clarity and confidence, particularly where AI adoption is reshaping roles and responsibilities
• Partner with the CPO on workforce planning, translating strategic intent into team-level people plans
• Contribute to cross-functional People initiatives within the CPO's direction, bringing both HR expertise and digital perspective

Employee Relations — AI-Enabled Delivery

• Handle employee relations matters independently within agreed guardrails — using data and AI tools to inform case management, track patterns, and improve consistency of outcomes
• Apply an analytical lens to ER trends, surfacing patterns to the CPO before they escalate into systemic issues
• Involve the CPO in complex or sensitive ER matters, presenting well-structured options and risk framing rather than problems
• Support managers to handle day-to-day people challenges more independently through digital guidance, self-serve tools, and capability building

People Operations — Technology & Process

• Identify and drive improvements to People processes through automation and digital tooling — reducing manual administration and increasing quality and speed of delivery
• Ensure HR data integrity across all systems, using data dashboards to provide the CPO with a real-time view of workforce health
• Maintain HR policies and documentation, ensuring they reflect modern, AI-enabled ways of working and remain legally compliant
• Support onboarding and offboarding processes, incorporating AI tools that improve efficiency and employee experience

Employee Engagement & Culture

• Act as a visible culture champion — building trust across the business and creating psychological safety around AI adoption and role change
• Support employee engagement initiatives, using data to surface themes and translate them into actionable recommendations for the CPO and leadership team
• Partner with managers on motivation, team health, and the human dimensions of an AI-augmented working environment
• Support internal communications that connect employees to the company's AI strategy and direction — helping people understand what change means for them

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven HR generalist or People Partner experience, with a track record of working in fast-paced, commercially driven organisations
• Demonstrable interest in and practical experience of AI tools, digital platforms, and automation in a workplace context
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and ER case management
• Analytical mindset — confident using people data to drive conversations, identify trends, and inform decisions
• Experience supporting or leading change management in environments undergoing technology or operating model transformation
• Strong commercial awareness — able to connect People and AI work directly to business outcomes in a PE-backed environment
• Operates at pace with a responsive, proactive communication style — keeps the CPO informed in real time, ensuring no surprises across stakeholder groups
• High interpersonal credibility — able to build trust with sceptical stakeholders and bring people on a change journey

Desirable

• Experience in a PE-backed or scaling technology business
• HR qualification and/or relevant experience
• Direct experience designing AI-augmented roles or supporting workforce transformation programmes
• Familiarity with AI workflow tools and people analytics platforms
