Job description

Group Human Resources Manager
Industry: Creative | Salary: Competitive + Benefits
Are you a dynamic, people-first HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment?
We are exclusively partnering with an innovative, multi-industry group to hire a Group Human Resources Manager — a truly pivotal role in shaping a vibrant, high-performance culture across their growing business.
This role offers the chance to make a real impact — leading the charge on employee engagement, people development, and HR operational excellence. If you're passionate about creating inspiring workplace cultures and have the gravitas to support business growth, this could be your next big career move.
About the Role
As the Group Human Resources Manager, you'll be the driving force behind a range of people initiatives — from talent development and performance to wellbeing and culture. Reporting into Group HR, you'll work closely with leaders and teams across both creative and operational functions, supporting business needs while championing a people-first approach.
This is not your average 9–5 role. You'll need to bring energy, flexibility, and commitment, but in return, you'll join a business that values innovation, inclusivity, and continuous learning.

About You

5. A champion of culture with a genuine passion for people
6. Experience in a fast-paced, creative, or multi-industry environment a plus
7. Proficient in HR systems and Microsoft Office suite

Why Apply?

1. A chance to join a values-led, growing company where people come first
2. Play a key role in shaping the employee experience and business culture
3. Hybrid working and a highly collaborative, entrepreneurial environment
