JOB PURPOSE
As HR Manager for the Swansea plant, you won’t just support the business — you’ll help shape it. Working closely with the Plant General Manager and Senior Management Team, you’ll drive a people-first agenda: building engagement, strengthening capabilities, and embedding a culture of accountability and performance that delivers lasting impact.
You’ll be part of a wider international HR community across Amcor’s EMEA network and Meat & Dairy Business Unit, giving you exposure to broader initiatives, best practices, and opportunities to collaborate beyond the local site. Backed by the scale and expertise of a global organisation — while retaining the autonomy to make decisions locally — you’ll play a visible and influential role in both the plant’s performance and employee experience.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, want your work to make a tangible difference, and are excited by a role with real scope, visibility, and influence, then this role is for you.
