We are looking for a Learning, Talent & Growth Manager to join our People & Culture team. At PROPER SNACKS, we are passionate about the growth of our people – giving our talent the experiences and opportunities they need to supercharge their career in PS and beyond. We’re looking for someone to drive this agenda, get the best from our people and ensure our skills and team are fit for the future.
The Person
The right person for this role will be passionate about helping people grow and will bring positive, motivating energy to the work they deliver. They will look beyond immediate needs, spotting opportunities to build stronger skills, leaders and teams for the future.
They will combine commercial awareness with genuine curiosity across all areas of the business. Comfortable working with both front line teams and senior leaders, they will ask thoughtful questions, challenge constructively and turn ideas into practical solutions. They will build strong relationships, bring people with them and communicate clearly in a way that feels engaging, relevant and aligned to our values and brand tone of voice.
The Role

Working closely with leaders across the business, you'll shape how we develop our people, strengthen our leadership pipeline and create clear pathways for growth, while ensuring strong learning and compliance foundations are in place – particularly at our factory. The initial focus of the role will be on our Nuneaton site where we want to ensure learning and compliance are fully embedded into the culture. The role will broaden to drive our learning agenda across the entire business – supporting all London and Nuneaton based talent.
