Start Date: Within 2–3 Weeks

Are you a bold, creative HR professional ready to roll up your sleeves and make a real impact? We’re looking for an experienced HR Manager to join us on a 6–9 month fixed-term contract during a pivotal time of transformation. Reporting into the HR Director, this is a hands-on, high-impact role where HR drives strategy, and you’ll be at the heart of it.

With a unique and special culture, we’re an ambitious, fast-moving organisation entering our next exciting phase: digital transformation. There’s huge headroom for growth, and this is your opportunity to play a key part in shaping our future.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Partnering with Commercial, Marketing, and Business Performance teams
  • Owning the full employee lifecycle for c.90 employees
  • Leading recruitment, coaching, and advisory support
  • Driving talent reviews and development planning
  • Delivering key outcomes for our salary review and bonus cycle (Oct–Dec)
  • Shaping our inclusive, high-performance culture through engagement and behavioural frameworks
  • Supporting reward and data processes – no HRIS, so you’ll need to be hands-on and resourceful
  • Working closely with shared services and navigating low maturity of COEs

This is a deep partnering role, not a broad generalist. You’ll get stuck in, build trust, and deliver meaningful change.

What You’ll Bring

  • HR expertise in transformation-focused FMCG or similar environments
  • Experience of Salary Review and Bonus
  • Strong facilitation and design skills, with a passion for enabling people to thrive
  • A bold, curious mindset and a drive to pioneer new ways of working
  • A collaborative, hands-on approach and the ability to build trusted relationships
  • A genuine commitment to diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing
  • Drive, accountability, and a high-performance mindset
  • A human approach – we work hard and live harder
