SF Recruitment are exclusively partnering with a well-established and growing organisation within a fast-paced, exciting sector to recruit an experienced standalone HR Manager. This is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded HR professional who enjoys being visible, hands-on and close to the business. It's a broad generalist role combining operational HR with the opportunity to influence the wider people agenda and work closely with senior leadership.

About You

• I'm looking for an experienced HR professional who is comfortable working autonomously, can build credibility quickly and is confident taking ownership of the HR function with a high level of independence.
• Ideally, you'll have previous standalone and multi-site HR experience, with the confidence to support different areas of a business while building strong relationships with managers and senior stakeholders.
• You'll need strong generalist and ER experience, excellent stakeholder-management skills and, importantly, the ability to switch comfortably between hands-on operational HR and more strategic conversations with senior leadership.

Due to the timescales around the appointment, I'm particularly keen to speak with candidates who are immediately available or on a short notice period. If you're interested and would like to hear more, please apply or contact me directly for a confidential conversation:
