Job Description

Group Head of HR – Multi-Brand Hospitality & Retail Group




A fast-growing hospitality and retail group is looking for a Group Head of HR to build and lead a modern people function across its diverse portfolio of brands.

This organisation spans restaurants, street-food concepts, beauty and cosmetics retail, nail and spa salons, and a specialist design & construction arm. With more than 450 employees and multiple new sites opening every year, the company is now entering a phase of structured, sustainable growth.


This is a chance to join a founder-led business with big ambitions, where people, culture, and operations genuinely matter.


The Opportunity

The Group Head of HR will take full ownership of building an in-house HR function from the ground up. The business currently uses external providers and admin support; now it’s ready for a dedicated leader who can create consistency, support managers, and introduce HR systems that scale.

You’ll work closely with the senior leadership team on everything from organisational design and compliance to talent strategy, culture, and engagement. The role is a blend of strategic thinking and hands-on delivery, ideal for someone who enjoys shaping structure in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments.
