Full time; 40 hours per week
Based in: Covent Garden, London
£32,000 per annum

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

People are centre stage of everything we do at RBO, and our Human Resources department work across the organisation, ensuring that in every department we have the right people in place who are supported to deliver their work to their fullest capacity.

The RBO is in the final stages of implementing a new advanced HR and Payroll system and we are looking for a highly organised and detail focused HR Systems Coordinator to join our HR team and play a key role in managing the full employee lifecycle through the effective utilisation of our new system. The postholder will ensure data accuracy, streamline processes and provide meaningful reports and analytics for the organisation.

To be successful in this role, you will need to be an excellent problem solver, have high attention to detail with an enthusiasm for systems and process optimisation. You will be a positive and committed team player, with the ability to work autonomously and take direction as required.

Our ideal candidate will have:

• A minimum of Associate CIPD membership, or able to demonstrate the equivalent level of skill and experience.
• Demonstrable experience of working with HR systems (HRIS) and Microsoft Office tools.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with experience of process and system improvement.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and accuracy.
• Strong numeracy with experience of analysing and reporting on complex data using strong MS Excel skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Prior knowledge of our art forms is not essential, though an interest in learning more about how a leading arts organisation functions is critical. We welcome applications with transferable skills and value the diversity of thought varied experience can bring to our team.

The Royal Ballet and Opera is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive. We particularly welcome applications from those who are from a global majority background and/or those who are disabled, as they are under-represented within our organisation. As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the essential minimum criteria for our vacancies.
