People Director

This isn''t a business looking for a traditional HR leader. It''s looking for a commercially minded People Director who wants to influence, challenge and help shape the future of an ambitious consumer brand.

If you thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments where people are seen as a genuine driver of business performance, this one is for you.

Working closely with an experienced and highly respected Chief People Officer, you''ll be a key member of the senior leadership team, partnering with executive stakeholders to shape and deliver a people strategy that supports ambitious commercial growth.

This is a broad leadership role covering organisational design, culture, engagement, leadership capability, talent, workforce planning, employee relations and business transformation. You''ll work alongside an established People team, influencing senior leaders across the business and helping drive meaningful, lasting change.

We''re looking for someone who is naturally commercial, highly credible and confident operating in a fast-moving environment. You''ll enjoy influencing at executive level, coaching leaders, navigating complexity and bringing people with you through change.

What you''ll bring:

  • Significant senior HR leadership experience, ideally as a People Director, Head of People or equivalent.

  • A proven track record of partnering with executive leadership teams to deliver business change.

  • Strong organisational design, transformation and leadership capability experience.

  • Commercial credibility with the ability to influence and challenge at senior level.

  • Experience within a fast-paced consumer, retail, hospitality, FMCG or similar environment.

In return, you''ll join a business where the People agenda is genuinely valued as a commercial driver, giving you the autonomy, visibility and support to make a real impact.

Roles like this in the North West don''t come around very often!
