PPeople Director – FMCG
£120,000 + car allowance & bonus
Berkshire | Full-time | Office-based
We’re partnering with a high-performing, fast-paced FMCG business in the food sector to find a commercially minded People Director. This is a rare opportunity to join a small but ambitious organisation that punches well above its weight—and is on an exciting growth trajectory.
Reporting directly to the MD, you’ll lead the end-to-end People function and play a key role as part of a close-knit, collaborative senior leadership team. Based at the Berkshire head office (alongside the rest of the SLT), you’ll also occasionally visit the company’s second site.
Your mission? To shape and deliver a people strategy that drives engagement, supports business growth, and sharpens operational performance. You’ll inherit a well-run function and a capable team of 10, supporting a workforce of around 600. The focus will be on building a forward-looking, commercially aligned People agenda that adds real value to the business.
What we’re looking for:
* Senior HR leadership experience within the FMCG sector
* A track record of managing and developing high-performing HR teams
* Strong influencing and stakeholder engagement skills
* A practical, commercial mindset with a hands-on approach
* A broad generalist background and a willingness to roll up your sleeves
While this role is office-based five days a week, the business fosters a culture of trust and flexibility—recognising the importance of balancing work and life in a way that works for individuals and the business.
