Our client is widely recognised as a specialist market leader in their Food Production sector. As a mid-tier, progressive and ambitious family company, they have carved out a successful niche as a supplier of choice. Due to ongoing expansion, a superb opportunity has arisen for an experienced Head of Transformation, People and Culture to play a key role in the current and future growth and success of the business.
OVERVIEW
This is a newly created, senior leadership role, established to give people strategy the dedicated focus it has outgrown sharing across the General Manager's day-to-day responsibilities. You'll own the strategic direction of my client’s people agenda, working closely with the Group Leadership Team, while the HR Manager and HR Assistant continue to run the operational and compliance side of HR day to day.
As the business grows, the people function of the business aims to move from a transactional, process-driven model to one that actively shapes culture, retention, leadership capability and reputation as an employer of choice.
