Are you an organised, people-focused HR professional looking to take ownership of a broad and impactful operational HR role? We are delighted to exclusively offer this exciting opportunity for an experienced HR professional to join Society of London Theatre (SOLT) and UK Theatre - the membership bodies representing theatre producers, managers, owners and operators across the West End and the UK.
With an ambitious five-year strategy and a clear mission to champion theatre and help its members thrive, SOLT-UKT are evolving—and they are now looking for a talented HR Operations Manager to join their team.
This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of HR operations in a stand-alone role, working closely with the Director of Finance & Operations. You’ll lead the delivery of efficient, compliant and people-centred HR services for a team of around 60 staff, ensuring a seamless employee experience at every stage of the lifecycle. From onboarding to offboarding, performance management to policy development, you’ll continuously improve systems, processes and ways of working. You’ll also act as a trusted first point of contact for HR queries, provide guidance to managers, and use data and insights to inform decision-making at senior level.
You’ll already have experience in a similar HR operations or generalist role, ideally within a small or medium-sized organisation. You’ll be confident working independently, highly organised, and comfortable managing HR systems and data. Strong interpersonal skills are essential—you’ll build trusted relationships across the organisation, support managers with best practice, and help embed a culture of inclusion, fairness and continuous improvement. Up-to-date knowledge of UK employment law, a proactive mindset, and a passion for creating a positive employee experience will set you apart.
Why join SOLT-UKT? You’ll be part of a welcoming, collaborative team based in the heart of Covent Garden, with hybrid working (minimum 60% office-based). They also offer:
- Generous annual leave plus birthday day off
- Pension scheme and wellbeing support
- Learning and development opportunities
- Access to theatre tickets and industry events
- A strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion
- A lively social culture and meaningful sustainability initiatives
Most importantly, you’ll contribute to an organisation that sits at the heart of a £2bn industry that enriches lives and communities across the UK.
