📍 Location: Bracknell

🕐 Hours: Full-Time | Hybrid/On-Site

💼 Level: Senior Leadership

💰 Salary: Competitive + Bonus + Benefits


The Role:

We’re on the hunt for a smart, driven, and passionate Head of HR — someone bold enough to challenge the status quo and brilliant enough to build something better.


As a growing, fast-paced FMCG company with multiple sites across the UK (and more coming through mergers and acquisitions), we’re looking for someone who’s not just ready for change but hungry to lead it.


You’ll be the first strategic HR leader, stepping in above our current HR Admin function to shape and scale the HR team, policies, culture, and people strategy, all while sitting at the senior leadership table.


Responsibilities:


* Build the HR function from the ground up, define the people strategy, implement structure, and drive best practices across all locations
* Own M&A people integration, culture alignment, TUPE, due diligence, and organisational design post-acquisition
* Be a partner to the CEO and SLT – drive transformation, talent strategies, and leadership development
* Lead change and create structure in an environment where pace often outstrips process
* Shape a high-performance, values-led culture, one that attracts, retains, and develops great people
* Oversee all core HR pillars, employee relations, recruitment, L&D, reward, compliance, and performance


Requirements:


* A punchy superstar, bold, business-savvy, and ready to own it
* 5–10 years of experience with at least 2+ years in a senior HR role
* Proven success in multisite HR and M&A environments (essential)
* Experience working in fast-moving, unstructured settings where you've built the HR function from scratch
* Strong understanding of UK employment law, change management, and organisational design
* Someone up-and-coming, full of energy, fresh ideas, and the confidence to challenge and inspire
* A natural communicator and influencer able to connect with the shop floor to the boardroom


Why work for them?


* Shape the future of a business that’s scaling fast and thinking big
* Join a forward-thinking leadership team that backs innovation and bold thinking
* Real autonomy to make your mark
* Competitive salary + bonus
* Career-defining opportunity in an agile, high-growth company


🎯 This is your chance to step into a role with real influence, big impact, and huge potential. If you’re ambitious, passionate about people, and ready to lead a function from scratch - we want to meet you.
