Job Description:

What if your next HR leadership role wasn’t about maintaining the status quo… but completely transforming it?

TalentPool is delighted to be exclusively partnering with a market-leading fresh food manufacturer in the search for a People Director to join the Senior Leadership Team, reporting directly to the CEO.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of the People function within a business that has experienced significant growth and is now entering an exciting new phase of expansion following its acquisition by a global, family-owned food business.

Having grown from £150m to £280m in revenue over the past eight years, the business has ambitious plans to reach £600m over the next five years through its “Double Down” growth strategy.

The Opportunity

The commercial, operations and supply chain teams are already high-performing. The next priority is transforming the People function into one of the organisation’s greatest strengths.

This isn’t a business looking for someone to simply manage HR.

It’s looking for someone to redefine it.

The CEO is seeking a commercially minded People Director who can build trust across the organisation, elevate the capability of the People team and create a function that is recognised as a genuine strategic partner to the business. You’ll have the autonomy, investment and Board backing to make meaningful change.

Key Priorities

Build a high-performing, strategically focused People function
