The Role

To shape and deliver people and talent strategies that unlock the potential of your business areas and support the turnaround of Superdry by enabling our people to be at their best.

Leading the people approach with a key focus on upskilling our leadership population, evolving our approach to employee relations and leading and developing your own People Advisor or Junior People Advisor.

The role requires an individual ready to face into a challenge.

Adaptable, self-motivated and confident in decision making, comfortable operating in a fast paced, high-change environment and building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels and with very different styles.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants a polished playbook; it’s for someone who wants genuine opportunity for impact, senior exposure and the chance to help build the future of an iconic brand.

• You Will
• Shape and deliver the people and talent strategy for your business areas, translating business priorities into clear people goals in line with the people strategy.
• Work to execute the people element of the turnaround plan, partnering senior stakeholders to plan, implement and land change successfully.

• You Are
• Experienced in HR Business Partnering or bringing substantial senior level HR advisory experience.
• Ideally holding a CIPD L5+ qualification, although this is not essential and equivalent experience counts just as much.
• Relaxed and personable in your approach, building trust with leaders informally rather than leading with process, and comfortable adapting to very different stakeholder styles.
• Comfortable giving challenge and holding your ground in robust conversations, at your best in a high challenge, high support team.
• Pragmatic in your application of employment law, able to weigh legal risk against commercial reality and offer balanced options.
• Adaptable and energised by change, comfortable leading it, creating and driving it, supporting others through it and experiencing it yourself.
• Happy to work across all areas of the People agenda, combining proactive project work with reactive business as usual queries .
