We're supporting a global organisation at a pivotal point in their people journey, seeking a senior HR professional to lead a business-wide people improvement initiatives.

This is not a traditional HR Manager role. Instead, we're looking for someone with a consultative mindset and strong experience in continuous improvement and transformation, who can deep dive into existing processes and drive meaningful, sustainable change.

You will play a key role in reviewing and enhancing the end-to-end people function, working cross-functionally with teams including PMO, Finance, IT, and Payroll to identify opportunities for improvement and streamline ways of working.

While there is a small operational element (approx. 20% of the role), the primary focus is on programme delivery and business improvement.

Key responsibilities

• Lead a full review of the people function, identifying efficiencies and improvement opportunities
• Partner with PMO, Finance, IT, and Payroll to align people processes with wider business operations
• Support the launch and evolution of the people strategy
• Work closely with existing HR leadership to enhance current frameworks
• Deliver change in a complex, global, environment

About you

• Proven experience in HR transformation, continuous improvement, or programme-led roles
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across functions
• Comfortable operating in a global, structured environment (experience with systems such as SuccessFactors is beneficial)
• Pragmatic and commercially aware, able to balance innovation with corporate frameworks
• Available to start at short notice

This is a fantastic opportunity to join at the right time to reset, refine, and elevate the people agenda, working within a global business while driving real impact locally.
