HR Manager

We're partnering with a well-established, international media organisation undergoing a period of transformation to hire an experienced HR Generalist on a fixed term, 12 month basis.

This is a broad, hands on role supporting c.150 employees across the UK and parts of Europe, working closely with a Head of HR in a lean, high impact team.

The role

This is a true generalist position with end to end responsibility across the employee lifecycle.

You'll be responsible for:

• Managing ER cases end to end, including more complex issues
• Supporting organisational change and restructuring activity
• Coaching and advising managers across performance and people matters
• Overseeing onboarding, offboarding, and contracts
• Partnering with payroll and reward teams
• Supporting internal communications (intranet, LinkedIn)
• Assisting with recruitment when required
• Organising employee engagement initiatives and events

This role requires someone comfortable operating across both strategic and administrative tasks - there is no dedicated HR support layer.

What we're looking for:

• Proven HR generalist experience within a fast paced environment
• Strong ER knowledge and confidence handling complex cases
• Ability to work autonomously and manage competing priorities
• Comfortable operating in an evolving, sometimes ambiguous environment
• Strong stakeholder management skills
• Good Excel skills (reporting and data handling)
• A hands on, proactive approach

Desirable:

• Experience with Workday

The opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to join a business in transformation, where you'll have real exposure to change and the chance to make a tangible impact.

This is a fixed term contract, with potential for longer term opportunities, but candidates should be comfortable committing to the role as a contract position.
