HR Director
Location: London
We are looking for a dynamic HR Director to lead our growing global team, playing a key role in supporting our people and fostering a high-performing workplace.
This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who wants to build — shaping how we hire, develop and look after people across multiple countries.
The HR Director will work closely with senior management and employees on the things that matter as we grow: getting the right people in, keeping them, and making sure our policies and culture keep pace with a fast-moving company. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about people, has a keen eye for detail, and thrives in a fast-paced, innovative environment. We’re looking for someone proactive, personable and pragmatic.
Responsibilities
- Support the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to performance management and career development.
- Partner with managers and other teams such as Legal to provide HR guidance, policies and ensure best practices across all teams as well as ensuring compliance with UK employment law.
- Manage employee relations matters, providing advice and resolution strategies.
- Oversee HR administration, including maintaining employee records and managing benefits alongside Legal, Finance and other relevant stakeholders.
- Manage the HR coordinators in London and New York.
- Identify opportunities to improve HR processes and support business growth, employee engagement and company culture.
- We are growing internationally: knowledge and responsibility for US and Canadian employment practices is a plus, and developing an understanding of relevant regimes will be expected.
