• Own M&A people integration, culture alignment, TUPE, due diligence, and organisational design post-acquisition
• Be a partner to the CEO and SLT – drive transformation, talent strategies, and leadership development
• Lead change and create structure in an environment where pace often outstrips process
• Shape a high-performance, values-led culture, one that attracts, retains, and develops great people
• Oversee all core HR pillars , employee relations, recruitment, L&D, reward, compliance, and performance

Requirements:

• A punchy superstar, bold, business-savvy, and ready to own it
• 5–10 years of experience with at least 2+ years in a senior HR role
• Proven success in multisite HR and M&A environments (essential)
• Experience working in fast-moving, unstructured settings where you\’ve built the HR function from scratch
• Strong understanding of UK employment law, change management, and organisational design
• Someone up-and-coming, full of energy, fresh ideas, and the confidence to challenge and inspire
• A natural communicator and influencer able to connect with the shop floor to the boardroom

Why work for them?

• Shape the future of a business that’s scaling fast and thinking big
• Join a forward-thinking leadership team that backs innovation and bold thinking
• Real autonomy to make your mark
• Competitive salary + bonus
• Career-defining opportunity in an agile, high-growth company

🎯 This is your chance to step into a role with real influence, big impact, and huge potential. If you’re ambitious, passionate about people, and ready to lead a function from scratch – we want to meet you.
