Job Description
A growing production group is looking for an experienced HR Manager to join their London-based team. The company brings together two sister brands under one roof, working across content creation, studio production and high-end creative services - this is a fast-moving environment with big plans for the future.
You'll have full ownership of day-to-day HR operations, as well as a seat at the table to help shape the longer-term strategy for the people function. The business is going through a period of exciting growth and transformation, so you'll be stepping into a role where your input will make a genuine impact.
You'll be responsible for everything from employee relations and performance conversations to policies, payroll and onboarding. You'll work closely with managers and senior leadership to offer practical, people-first advice that balances compliance with culture. You'll also play a key role in evolving the company's people practices - identifying what's working, what needs a rethink, and what can be improved with a more proactive and streamlined approach.
The ideal candidate will be a confident and capable HR professional, ideally with experience in a creative, production or agency-style setting. You'll have a strong understanding of UK employment law, feel comfortable advising at all levels, and be happy juggling both day-to-day delivery and bigger-picture thinking.
You'll also need to thrive in a bit of organised chaos - this is a creative, energetic environment where no two days look the same, and the pace is part of the appeal. Quick thinking, clear communication and a calm head will serve you well.
Because this is such a people-facing, hands-on role, you'll need to be based full-time on-site in the central London studios - boots on the ground and in the mix with the teams you're supporting.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves variety, wants to have real influence, and enjoys working in a fast-paced, ideas-led business that's anything but corporate.
