We're Hiring: HR Manager (FTC 6–9 Months)
Location: Andover (Hybrid – 2–3 Days Onsite Weekly)
Start Date: Within 2–3 Weeks
Are you a bold, creative HR professional ready to roll up your sleeves and make a real impact? We’re looking for an experienced HR Manager to join us on a 6–9 month fixed-term contract during a pivotal time of transformation. Reporting into the HR Director, this is a hands-on, high-impact role where HR drives strategy, and you’ll be at the heart of it.
With a unique and special culture, we’re an ambitious, fast-moving organisation entering our next exciting phase: digital transformation. There’s huge headroom for growth, and this is your opportunity to play a key part in shaping our future.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Partnering with Commercial, Marketing, and Business Performance teams
* Owning the full employee lifecycle for c.90 employees
* Leading recruitment, coaching, and advisory support
* Driving talent reviews and development planning
* Delivering key outcomes for our salary review and bonus cycle (Oct–Dec)
* Shaping our inclusive, high-performance culture through engagement and behavioural frameworks
* Supporting reward and data processes – no HRIS, so you’ll need to be hands-on and resourceful
* Working closely with shared services and navigating low maturity of COEs
This is a deep partnering role, not a broad generalist. You’ll get stuck in, build trust, and deliver meaningful change.
What You’ll Bring
* HR expertise in transformation-focused FMCG or similar environments
* Experience of Salary Review and Bonus
* Strong facilitation and design skills, with a passion for enabling people to thrive
* A bold, curious mindset and a drive to pioneer new ways of working

* Drive, accountability, and a high-performance mindset
* A human approach – we work hard and live harder
