HR Manager

Hays HR • Permanent • London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom • £65k - £70k / year • 18h ago

Your new role
A standalone HR Manager role partnering closely with both operational and leadership teams, taking full ownership for delivering practical, commercially focused people solutions within a UK-based business, while aligning with a wider international structure.

The position covers the full employee lifecycle, with a strong emphasis on employee relations, performance management and organisational change. It involves managing complex and sensitive cases, coaching managers to build confidence in handling people matters, and driving consistent performance and development practices.

Working closely with overseas stakeholders and a central HR function, the role ensures local delivery aligns with global policies, frameworks and processes, particularly across payroll, reward and compliance. At the same time, it requires autonomy in managing day-to-day HR activity and acting as the key point of contact for the business.

Responsibilities also include leading recruitment and talent planning, supporting succession and development of key individuals, and contributing to salary review and bonus processes. Alongside this, the role focuses on improving engagement and team effectiveness, using insight and feedback to implement practical initiatives and shape efficient team structures.

Overall, this is a broad, hands-on role suited to someone confident operating independently, managing risk, and influencing stakeholders within a commercially driven, international environment.

What you'll need to succeed
Demonstrable experience managing a broad range of employee relations matters, including complex and high-risk cases

CIPD Level 5 or Level 7 qualified, or operating at an equivalent level

Proven background in a senior generalist HR role with end-to-end ownership of the employee lifecycle

Strong experience leading on restructures and advising on sensitive issues involving senior stakeholders

Confident working within an international or matrix environment, with the ability to navigate cross-border HR considerations and stakeholder groups

What you'll get in return

Generos pay and benefits.
