Human Resources Director

🚨 HR Director | PE-Backed | Midlands | £110,000–£120,000 + Executive Benefits

I’m partnering exclusively on the search for an exceptional HR Director to join a growing, PE-backed, blue-collar business at a pivotal point in its evolution.

This is not a role for someone looking to simply maintain the status quo.

The People function is at an important point of transition, creating a genuine opportunity to build, transform and professionalise HR from the ground up.

I’m keen to speak with commercially minded HR leaders who can demonstrate experience across:

• Building and developing high-performing HR functions

• Managing, developing and coaching a small HR team, creating capability, accountability and pace

• Operating within industrial, operational and blue-collar environments

• Ideally combining a strong HR background with broader operational experience or a genuine understanding of operationally led businesses

• Working across multi-site, unionised environments

• Delivering culture change, EVP and organisational development

• Coaching and constructively challenging senior leaders

• Developing workforce planning, talent and succession strategies

• Managing complex employee relations and trade union relationships

• Working effectively with executive leadership teams and Private Equity stakeholders

• Bringing energy, pace and commercial thinking to business transformation

You’ll work closely with the Managing Director and wider leadership team, acting as a trusted adviser while also providing the challenge needed to support the next stage of growth.
