Job description

Head of People Forget everything you think a traditional Head of People role looks like. This is a seat at the table in a business that moves quickly, thinks commercially and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo. We're looking for a commercially minded People leader who wants to partner with senior leaders, influence business decisions and genuinely shape the future of a fast-paced, entrepreneurial organisation. This isn't a business where HR sits on the sidelines. You'll be a key member of the leadership team, helping to shape the people strategy, drive performance and create an environment where both the business and its people can thrive. You'll work across the full people agenda, from organisational design and leadership coaching to culture, engagement, talent, change and performance. It's a broad role with real influence, allowing you to make a lasting impact. We're looking for someone who enjoys working at pace, thrives in an evolving environment and isn't afraid to challenge, influence and bring fresh thinking. You'll be equally comfortable discussing long-term strategy one minute and rolling your sleeves up the next. What you'll bring: • Experience operating at Head of People level, or within a senior HR leadership role. • A commercial mindset and the confidence to influence senior stakeholders. • Strong experience across organisational design, employee relations, leadership development and business transformation. • Experience within a fast-paced, consumer-facing, retail, hospitality, FMCG or similar environment. • The ability to balance strategic thinking with a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In return, you'll join a business that genuinely values its People function, gives you the autonomy to make decisions and the opportunity to influence both culture and commercial performance. If you're looking for a role where you can challenge, shape and leave a lasting impact, please get in touch for a confidential conversation. BH36803
