This is very much a delivery-focused HR role where you'll be trusted to manage a varied workload, prioritise effectively and build strong relationships across the business.

The environment itself is incredibly creative and varied, spanning studios, production environments, household staffing and an evolving music/media arm. The person joining the business needs to be comfortable with ambiguity, changing priorities and an ebb-and-flow workload.

The culture is entrepreneurial, highly trusted and refreshingly non-corporate. This role would suit someone who enjoys being embedded in a business rather than sitting behind process. Someone pragmatic, emotionally intelligent and calm under pressure, who enjoys balancing operational detail with commercial thinking and doesn't need a large team around them.

Key Responsibilities

You'll take ownership of a broad operational HR remit including:

• Providing day-to-day HR advice and coaching to managers across the business.
• Managing employee relations cases including disciplinaries, grievances, absence, performance and capability.
• Supporting recruitment across a variety of business areas.
• Overseeing monthly payroll and benefits administration.
• Managing onboarding and offboarding.
• Preparing contracts, policies and HR documentation.
• Supporting organisational change where required.
• Maintaining HR systems and ensuring employee records remain accurate and compliant.
• Partnering with the private office on confidential HR matters where discretion and sound judgement are essential.
• Identifying opportunities to improve HR processes and ways of working.

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys being close to the business and delivering high-quality operational HR support.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience as an HR Manager, Senior HR Advisor or operational HR Business Partner.
• Strong generalist HR experience across the full employee lifecycle.
• Confidence managing employee relations cases independently.
• Experience overseeing payroll and HR administration.
• A practical, solutions-focused approach to problem solving.
• The ability to build credibility quickly with managers and stakeholders at all levels.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• A calm, resilient and pragmatic approach.
• The confidence to work autonomously while knowing when to seek advice or escalate matters.

Experience within a creative, media, entertainment, production, founder-led, private office or SME environment would be advantageous, but isn't essential.

The role is primarily based across Soho and other London locations, with occasional travel to regional sites when required.

Why Join?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a genuinely interesting business where no two days are the same.

You'll have the autonomy to manage your workload, exposure to a hugely varied employee population and the opportunity to become a trusted HR partner across multiple areas of the business. If you enjoy broad, hands-on HR in a fast-moving environment and thrive on variety, autonomy and building strong relationships, we'd love to hear from you.
