People Manager - Advertising
Hybrid - 4 days on site / 1 day WFH
£60,000
12-month FTC
This creative advertising agency has an opportunity for an experienced HR Manager to partner with a fantastic client group of around 200 employees. Reporting to the Head of People and working as part of a collaborative generalist team, this is a hands-on, operationally focused role where you'll build trusted relationships across the business and provide pragmatic, commercial people support.
The advertising landscape is constantly evolving, so we're looking for someone who thrives in fast-paced, ever-changing environments and is comfortable operating where there isn't always a clear playbook. You'll be confident navigating ambiguity, balancing employee relations matters with organisational change, supporting Heads of Department through restructures, while ensuring the day-to-day employee lifecycle continues to run smoothly. This is a role for someone who can make sound judgement calls, adapt their approach to different situations, and doesn't rely on rigid processes or black-and-white answers to deliver great outcomes.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
