People Partnership & HR Projects

  • Support the wider HR team with employee relations matters where required, including performance, capability, conduct and absence management.

  • Support with learning and development initiatives, partnering with the Sr. HR Manager to build an engaging L&D strategy.
  • Support regional HR projects and initiatives based on changing business priorities.
  • Work collaboratively across the HR team, providing additional support during busy periods and taking ownership of ad hoc projects where required.

  • Proven ability to manage end-to-end recruitment across diverse functions and seniority levels.
  • Experience in beauty, luxury, retail, fashion or a similar fast-paced consumer industry is preferred.

  • Sound knowledge of compensation, benefits and market benchmarking, with an interest in building further expertise.
  • Exposure to broader HR activities, such as employee relations, performance management or HR projects, is advantageous.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
