Human Resources Director
Sanderson King ·
HR DIRECTOR | HIGH-GROWTH CONSUMER BUSINESS | LONDON Up to £100,000 + package + equity I’m working with a high-growth, founder-led consumer business at an exciting stage of its development. With ambitious plans for the next few years, they are now looking to appoint a senior People leader who can build the function and help create the organisation needed to support that growth.
This is not a traditional HR Director role. You’ll be joining a relatively lean, entrepreneurial business where there is genuine scope to build, shape and influence. The opportunity - Build and own the People function end-to-end - Partner closely with the Founder and senior leadership team - Shape organisational design as the business grows - Lead hiring across leadership, central and operational teams - Introduce pragmatic performance, reward and development frameworks - Help define culture, standards and ways of working - Build the infrastructure needed to support significant headcount growth - Remain hands-on and comfortable moving between strategic and operational priorities We’re particularly interested in people who: - Have built or significantly evolved a People function within a growing consumer, retail, hospitality or multi-site business - Have operated successfully in founder-led or entrepreneurial environments - Are comfortable with pace, change and ambiguity - Can combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery - Understand the commercial impact of hiring, retention, performance and organisational design - Enjoy building rather than inheriting established structures - Bring energy, judgement and a strong sense of ownership This probably won’t suit someone looking for a large existing HR team, significant infrastructure or a highly defined corporate environment.
Package - £75,000–£100,000 base - Additional package - Equity opportunity - London / hybrid This appointment forms part of a broader investment in the senior leadership team and represents an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the next stage of the business.
