Developing and implementing the Group HR strategy alongside the Group CEO.
Creating and maintaining a positive and engaging employee culture.
Developing strategies to improve employee retention, engagement and development.
Managing compensation, benefits and HR policies across the Group.
Establishing salary banding and clear career pathways.
Developing skills matrices and supporting managers with training and development.
Leading recruitment and onboarding processes in partnership with hiring managers.
Managing employee relations and disciplinary processes, working alongside external advisors where required.
Supporting payroll processes, including gathering hours and holiday information.
Producing monthly HR metrics, reports and action plans for the Group Board.
Managing HR budgets and benefits programmes.
Ensuring accurate employee records and HR documentation.
Driving consistency and alignment of Group policies and processes.
Developing manager capability and accountability.
Supporting performance management, KPIs and employee evaluations.
Organising employee engagement and team-building initiatives.
Presenting the Group people strategy and priorities to employees and managers.
Supporting HR activity across multiple UK locations and working closely with the local HR representative in the US.
About You

You will ideally have:
Proven experience in an HR management or senior HR role.
CIPD Level 7, or equivalent senior HR management experience.
Experience developing and implementing HR strategy.
Strong knowledge of UK employment legislation and HR best practice.
Experience working across multiple sites or businesses.
Strong employee relations and conflict resolution experience.
Experience with HR systems and HR processes.
Strong commercial awareness and the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
Excellent communication and leadership skills.
Strong organisational and planning skills.
Experience managing recruitment, performance, reward and employee development.
The ability to work autonomously while collaborating effectively with senior leadership.
Willingness to travel to other Group locations as required.
Experience of international HR, particularly the US, would be advantageous but is not essential.
The Opportunity
This is a newly created role offering the opportunity to genuinely shape the people function of a growing organisation.
You will have significant autonomy to develop the Group's HR infrastructure, introduce best practice and build a consistent people strategy across an expanding multi-site and international business.
If you are an experienced HR leader looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact and help shape the people agenda through a period of significant growth and acquisition, we would be keen to hear from you.
