  • Create initiatives that drive employee engagement, wellbeing, inclusion, and retention.
  • Ensure the employee experience remains exceptional throughout the entire employee lifecycle.
  • Lead internal communications and people initiatives that reinforce company values and behaviours.


Talent Acquisition & Employer Brand

  • Partner with hiring managers to build effective recruitment strategies.
  • Develop employer branding initiatives that position the company as an employer of choice within the fashion and creative sectors.
  • Ensure recruitment processes support both speed and quality of hire in a competitive market.


Leadership & Performance

  • Build and embed performance management, goal-setting, and development frameworks.
  • Coach and support managers in building high-performing teams.
  • Develop learning and development initiatives to support individual and organisational growth.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, feedback, and continuous improvement.


People Operations & Compliance

  • Oversee all HR operations, policies, and processes, ensuring compliance with UK employment legislation.
  • Drive HR systems, reporting, and data-driven decision making.
  • Identify opportunities for automation and process improvement to support scale.
  • Manage employee relations matters with professionalism and commercial judgement.


About You:


Experience

  • Significant experience within a Head of People, People Lead, Senior HR Business Partner, or equivalent role.
  • Proven success in scaling high-growth businesses, ideally within fashion, retail, consumer, creative, or founder-led environments.
