Senior Human Resources Manager

Malaberg is not a creative agency. We are a Direct-to-Consumer brand holding company. We build and grow brands from product development to marketing and customer service. We build brands that solve real problems, and scale them using data-backed performance marketing. Doing so, we’ve created some of the fastest-growing D2C brands worldwide.

The Mandate

We are looking for an experienced Human Resources professional to play a key role in delivering our people strategy to optimise talent, performance and engagement across the organisation.

This is both a strategic position, where you will influence business decisions and lead change initiatives, and a hands-on role overseeing HR and payroll administration in a company of c. 100 employees based across London, Oxford, and Sheffield.

You will work closely with leaders to design and implement HR strategies aligned with company priorities. You will lead on critical areas such as leadership and talent development, performance optimisation, employee engagement, learning and development, and reward and recognition.

You will ensure that accurate HR records are maintained, from a compliance perspective, and work with Finance on ensuring payroll runs each month smoothly.

This is perfect for an accomplished HR professional with strong commercial acumen, exceptional relationship-building skills, and a proven track record in HR partnering and organisational development in a fast-paced environment.

The Skills You Will Have When You Apply

• Proven HR generalist ownership, with the ability to manage the full employee lifecycle independently within a standalone capacity;
• Hands-on proficiency in payroll and HR administration, ensuring accuracy, data integrity, and legislative compliance;
• Advanced proficiency in influencing senior stakeholders, fostering trust-based relationships and acting as a commercial partner;
• Experience of delivering high-impact coaching and structured programmes for both leadership and early-career development;
• Comprehensive knowledge of employment law and HR best practice, applied with a pragmatic and results-oriented approach;
• Resilience in adapting to dynamic organisational contexts, staying agile while managing the competing priorities; 
• Ability to work across all 3 sites and adapt to travel requirements as necessary.

What We’ll Give You For This Role

• Competitive salary considering skills, experience and qualifications;
• Holiday allowance of 25 days plus bank holidays;
• Flexible working from our office or your home (with travel, as required); and
• Employee assistance programme for employee wellbeing.
