Head of Human Resources (Permanent)
📍 London | Hybrid - 3 days in office
💰 £105,000 - £120,000 + discretionary bonus
Robert Half is partnering with a growing management consultancy (c.180 employees) to appoint a Head of HR. You'll take on an established function with a settled team already in place, and a clear opportunity to shape its next phase as the firm continues to grow.
You'll be the senior HR voice in the business, working directly with Practice Directors on how the firm staffs, develops and retains its consultants. You'll manage a team of two (an HR Business Partner and an HR Advisor, both established in their roles) and will be expected to build on a solid foundation while bringing your own ideas to where the function goes next.
The Role
- Refine and evolve the HR strategy, with an early focus on career progression frameworks
- Partner with Practice Directors on resourcing and workforce planning as new service lines come online
- Manage and continue developing your direct reports (HRBP & HR Advisor)
- Lead succession planning at Manager and Senior Manager level, where retention has been inconsistent
- Own annual performance reviews, compensation benchmarking, engagement surveys, and use the results to sharpen decisions, not just report on them
- Bring workforce data (attrition by grade, time-to-promotion, utilisation) into leadership discussions
- Continue the firm's DE&I and wellbeing agenda, with board-level support to build on what's already in motion

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Currently operating as a Head of HR, HR Director, or a strong Senior HRBP ready for their first standalone leadership role, ideally within a consultancy or professional services firm

- Experience managing and developing an HR team, not just individual delivery
- A generalist skillset, with particular strength in organisational design and talent
