Are you a people-focused, commercially-minded HR professional ready to step into a pivotal leadership role? We’re looking for an ambitious HR Manager to join the team based at the Watford HQ. This is a fully on-site position reporting into a Fractional HR Director and the COO, managing one HR Administrator, with the scope to grow the team in future.

Deliver and evolve the HR strategy to align with broader business goals.
Support ongoing organisational change and transformation initiatives.
Lead the digitalisation of HR systems, processes and practices.
Embed a modern, added-value HR function that actively contributes to business performance.
People & Culture:
Champion the full employee lifecycle – from recruitment to retention – with a focus on engagement, development and wellbeing.
Build strong, trust-based relationships across all levels of the business, acting as a visible and accessible people partner.
Design and implement inclusive people initiatives that support a positive and high-performance culture.
Employee Relations & Leadership Coaching:
Lead on complex employee relations matters, including investigations, grievances and disciplinaries.
Provide commercially sound and legally compliant advice to managers.
Coach leaders to confidently manage teams and embed people-first leadership behaviours.
Change & Conflict Management:
Act as the go-to for conflict resolution across the business, fostering a collaborative and respectful workplace.
Champion initiatives that reduce absence, support wellbeing, and drive resilience during change.
HR Operations & Compliance?
Oversee recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and policy implementation.
Ensure accurate HR records, system integrity, and legal compliance across all HR activities.
Drive improvements through better use of data, technology, and streamlined processes.
What we’re looking for:
CIPD Level 5 qualified (or equivalent experience in HR leadership)
Proven generalist HR experience including employee relations, policy, change and transformation
Strong knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
Experience working in a fast-paced, multi-site environment (Retail, FMCG, Hospitality preferred)
Tech-savvy and confident in leading digital transformation within HR
A credible communicator and influencer, with the confidence to advise senior leaders
Commercially astute, hands-on, and driven to make a meaningful impact
