We’re recruiting for an exceptional Senior HR Business Partner opportunity within a dynamic, fast-paced and highly successful organisation. This is a genuine strategic partnering role, offering significant visibility across the business and the opportunity to shape people strategy at senior leadership level.
Reporting directly to the Head of HR, you’ll act as a trusted advisor to the Leadership Team and management population, partnering across a diverse range of functions including operations, logistics, finance, sales and marketing.

- Drive continuous improvement across people processes and business operations
- Deputise for the Head of HR when required
