We’re partnering with a well-known media organisation to appoint a Senior People Manager to join their established People team on a 14 month maternity cover contract. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, commercially driven environment and enjoys being truly hands-on across employee relations and manager coaching.

- Coaching and upskilling managers
- Managing challenging stakeholder conversations
- Performance and conduct cases
- Sickness and absence management
- Flexible working requests
- Day-to-day people advisory support
This role is heavily ER focused and relationship-led, with a real focus on BAU people support rather than project work.
We’re looking for someone with:
- Strong experience managing complex, high-volume ER cases
- Confidence influencing and coaching senior stakeholders
- Previous exposure within Media environments
- A calm, pragmatic and solutions-focused approach
- Experience supporting fast paced creative populations and/or working within unionised environments would be highly advantageous, although flexibility can be shown here.
Must be happy to travel into the central London office 3 days.
We’re particularly interested in speaking with individuals who may be:
- Coming to the end of a contract in June and able to start in July
- Those happy to move into a FTC to work within an exciting well known Media brand
