You would be working for one of our favourite employers - we know this global company well, having hired repeatedly for them to upgrade HR capabilities around the world, to help enable their continued growth plans.

Importantly this HR Manager needs to be a visible presence - able to quickly and assertively engage with the wider business to show the true value that HR can add. We are looking for someone with the appetite to focus on solutions rather than problems and who brings a level of professionalism, energy, and inspiration to others.
