Head of HR | 12-Month FTE | London | Onsite
Please note: This is not an HR Director role
Not every Head of People role comes with this level of impact.
We are working on a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Head of People to join a well-known, high-profile organisation on a 12-month contract. This isn't a role where you'll simply keep the HR wheels turning. You'll lead a team of HR professionals, partnering with senior leadership to shape people strategy across multiple business areas.
You'll be responsible for:
- Leading a high-performing HR team
- Driving organisational development and workforce planning
- Coaching leaders through complex ER and change
- Developing talent, succession planning and leadership capability
- Overseeing reward, benefits, engagement and DE&I initiatives
- Using people data and insight to influence business decisions
