We’re looking for a confident, influential and highly credible HR leader who has real experience of enhancing cultures, driving forward key business objectives and capturing engagement across the organisation with a focus of the UK and EMEA. This is a role for someone who thrives working within a fast paced environment and can navigate change and ambiguity with ease.
You’ll act as a true strategic partner to senior leaders (particularly the MD of the business) translating business goals into practical HR initiatives that strengthen organisational capability, drive performance and embed a consistent, inclusive culture across the region.

This role also presents an exciting opportunity to re-evaluate how HR is delivered. You’ll be asked to review the current operating model and assess how Centres of Excellence (COEs) can be better leveraged allowing time to focus on high value, strategic HR activity. Candidates with experience partnering effectively with COEs will thrive here.

* Provide HR leadership across the UK and Continental Europe, ensuring compliant and consistent HR practices
