Some are about rolling your sleeves up, building relationships and making a genuine impact in a fast-moving business.

We're partnering with an exciting lifestyle brand to appoint an HR Manager who thrives in a commercial, entrepreneurial environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established business that has been through significant transformation and is now focused on its next phase of growth.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll become the trusted HR lead across the business, partnering with managers to provide practical, commercially focused HR support that helps the business move forward.

This isn't a business looking to overcomplicate HR. They're looking for someone who can bring common sense, credibility and confidence, balancing what's right for the people with what's right for the business.

Manage the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding through to exit.

Coach and advise managers on people-related issues.

Review and continuously improve HR policies and processes.

Ensure compliance with employment legislation and HR best practice.

Build trusted relationships across the business, influencing at all levels.

Help shape and develop a pragmatic, commercially focused HR function.

About you

You'll be a confident HR generalist who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

You'll bring

Experience operating as an HR Manager, Senior HR Advisor or HR Business Partner.

Strong employee relations and employment law knowledge.

A commercial, pragmatic approach to HR.

The confidence to influence and challenge managers where appropriate.

A hands-on mindset with the ability to adapt quickly.

Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.

Experience within retail, fashion, lifestyle, sport or another customer-led environment would be advantageous.

Most importantly, you'll enjoy working in an agile business where you can make decisions, build strong relationships and genuinely influence the direction of the people agenda.

Why apply?

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a business where you'll have real visibility, work closely with the Managing Director and play a key role in shaping the future of the HR function.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely make an impact within a growing, commercially minded business, we'd love to hear from you.
