• A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach, with the ability to balance business needs and employee experience.
• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively as part of a wider HR function.

Experience within FMCG, manufacturing, retail, logistics, hospitality or other operational environments would be advantageous.

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join an established international organisation where HR has a genuine influence on business performance and people development.

You'll have the opportunity to build strong relationships across the business, contribute to meaningful people initiatives and make a tangible impact on leadership effectiveness, employee engagement and operational performance.
