Neon Search is partnering with a growing, purpose-led organisation to appoint a People Director into its senior leadership team. This is an opportunity for an experienced people leader to join a business at an important stage of its growth and help shape the next chapter of its people strategy.
Working closely with the leadership team, the People Director will take ownership of the people agenda across the organisation — building the structures, capability and culture needed to support continued growth while ensuring the employee experience remains at the heart of the business.
The Role
The People Director will be responsible for developing and delivering a people strategy that is both commercially aligned and genuinely impactful. The remit will include:
- Acting as a trusted partner to the senior leadership team on organisational and people matters
- Developing the people strategy in line with the organisation’s wider ambitions
- Leading organisational design and workforce planning as the business evolves
- Building leadership capability and supporting managers to lead high-performing teams
- Overseeing talent, performance, engagement, reward and employee experience
- Ensuring people processes, policies and infrastructure are fit for a growing organisation
- Using people data and insight to inform decision-making
- Leading and developing the People function
- Protecting and evolving the culture as the organisation continues to grow
About You
We’re looking for an established senior People leader who combines strategic thinking with the willingness to remain close to the business. You’ll be comfortable operating at leadership level, but equally capable of moving from strategy into execution when required. You are likely to bring:
- Significant experience in a senior People/HR leadership position
- Experience supporting an organisation through growth, evolution or transformation
- Strong organisational design and workforce planning capability
- A commercial and pragmatic approach to People leadership
- Experience building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders
- Strong knowledge across the broader People agenda
- The ability to bring structure and clarity without creating unnecessary complexity
- A leadership style that is collaborative, credible and comfortable challenging when needed
This role will suit someone who wants to have a genuine influence on how an organisation grows — not simply inherit an established People function.
