People and Culture Manager
Location: Hampshire (Office-based with flexibility as required)
Salary: £50,000 - £60,000
Build the future of people and culture in a business that's growing fast.
Our client is an innovative manufacturer of hand protection solutions, recognised for its market-leading brand. Following the recent acquisition of another business, the business has grown to around 46 employees, with ambitious plans for continued expansion through both organic growth and future acquisitions. They are now looking for an experienced People and Culture Manager to partner with their CEO and leadership team, helping shape the next chapter of their people strategy.
This isn't a traditional HR role. We're looking for someone who enjoys building capability, developing high-performing teams, embracing technology, and creating a culture where people are supported to succeed while being held accountable for delivering results.
The Opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to inherit an established role with a structured handover before taking ownership of the function. Initially, you'll play a key role in successfully embedding their recent acquisition and supporting organisational change. From there, you'll lead the development of a modern, scalable HR function that supports an ambitious, growing business.
