  • Own the full recruitment lifecycle, partner with hiring managers, and design an unforgettable onboarding experience for new hires.

  • Champion workplace culture by managing bi-annual employee engagement surveys and leading the follow-up actions with the leadership team.

  • Act as a trusted advisor to managers, guiding them on performance management, L&D initiatives, and team development.

  • Oversee monthly payroll, drive the annual salary review process, manage HR policies, and report on key people and CSR metrics to the Senior Leadership Team.

What You Bring to the Table

  • 5+ years of generalist HR experience at a Senior People Manager level, ideally within an SME environment.

  • CIPD (or equivalent) qualification and have a sharp, up-to-date understanding of UK employment legislation.

  • Exemplary communication skills, a proactive "self-starter" mentality, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities seamlessly.

  • Global People experience is desirable but an advantage

  • 28 days annual leave, plus we close the office between Christmas and New Year.

  • True hybrid working, plus the ability to work from anywhere in the world for two weeks each year!

  • Fully paid 4-week sabbaticals (with a company contribution to your plans) at your 5 and 10-year work anniversaries.

  • Quarterly Wellness Allowance, a comprehensive medical cash plan, and 24/7 access to Employee Assistance Programme.
