We're excited to be partnering this fast paced and market leading business in an attractive sector in a newly created role to take ultimate ownership of what is already an impressive Talent and People experience function. Sitting as a key part of the future business leadership, this is a tremendously dynamic and fast paced business but one with a genuine sense of its People and their success; this will really give the successful candidate the chance to own and drive all things Talent & Culture - and bring the fun with it! The successful applicant will be empowered and given the mandate to make change within the business where necessary - our client has already made incredible inroads to ensure that they're highly valued by top talent and existing employees alike (despite never having a PX lead before), but want to continue to push boundaries to stay at the top of their game. Being given the ultimate responsibility for all Talent strategy, it is essential that you've held such responsibility before, but please note, we are not looking for a candidate from a corporate background or a pure Recruitment background - this is a startup/scaleup situation and as such an incredibly hands on and flexible operator is needed operationally. Key duties include: Ownership of Talent and People Experience strategy, reporting into the Managing Director.

Fast paced, dynamic but purpose driven this is a wonderful role for someone who brings fun, but also seniority and leadership. While structure is part of the 'build' job, we're seeking applicants who find success in the grey - in an environment that can positively pivot really quickly - it's just not a role for leaders of large teams in large businesses. It's also not really a role for the 'traditional' HR leader, focusing on the Talent and Cultural piece with an Operational background would be a wonderful fit. An inclusive and positive working environment is in place with a stunning office environment for an SME; the business wants it's leaders to be visible as you'd expect, so applicants must be within a reasonable commute to the office location for a solid amount of the week accordingly. Both commercially driven, but highly culturally focused in it's make up, this is a superb opportunity that is rarely available on the local market for an established senior Talent leader, but one still with things to learn themselves, to really make their mark and drive the business forward with the Senior Leadership.
