HR Manager - Media

A media business is looking for an HR Manager to join their team as soon as possible. This is a hands-on generalist role for someone who enjoys being close to the business and has some experience in the creative industries.

You'll be the go-to person for all things people, balancing day-to-day HR with a more partnering-focused approach. One minute you might be helping a manager work through a tricky ER case, the next you could be reviewing how the business onboards new starters, updating a policy that's fallen out of date, or supporting a team through a period of change. There is also the BAU work to cover, such as payroll, support with recruitment, and cyclical reviews.

While the wider business is creative, the team you'll be supporting day-to-day is more hands-on and a little gritty, so they need someone who is a true people partner and can adapt their style to suit the team. You'll need to be pragmatic, approachable and confident enough to have the conversations that need having, with good judgement and commercial awareness.

The ideal candidate will have solid generalist HR experience and strong employment law knowledge. Experience in media, creative, or another fast-paced industry would be beneficial.

The team are 5 days in the office, so this role will suit someone who loves to connect with the team in person.
