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
