With 80 people across London, Hong Kong, LA and China, they’re a team of producers, makers, creators and problem-solvers - all fuelled by craft and curiosity.

Now, they’re hiring their first ever in-house HR professional.

And this is where you come in.

The Role

You’ll be the go-to HR voice across the business, reporting into the CFO and partnering closely with CEO.

This is a hands-on generalist role with strategic scope. Think:

Building out HR foundations across UK, US, and Asia

Reviewing and updating policies, onboarding & contracts

Owning the global HRIS (Dosen) and ensuring it's fit for purpose

Partnering with managers to build confidence and people leadership capability

Designing and rolling out management development training

Supporting performance reviews, career conversations & succession planning

Leading engagement surveys and acting on the insights

Reviewing and evolving benefits in line with what teams really need

Being the calm, trusted advisor on employee relations when needed

Helping define the People strategy for the next phase of global growth

You’ll bring clarity, structure, and support, without stifling the creative spark that makes RDP special.

What’s on Offer

• A truly global remit - working with teams in London, LA, HK & Shenzhen.
• Autonomy and influence from day one.
• Scope to define the people strategy and build the function from the ground up.
• A warm, creative team who are ready to be guided and supported.
• A business that is legally compliant and culturally engaged, they now need the HR glue.

What You’ll Bring

• HR generalist or People Partner experience, ideally in creative, media or agency settings.
• Experience working across international teams (Asia/US highly beneficial).
• A commercially grounded, emotionally intelligent approach.
• Happy in the weeds one minute, presenting to the CEO the next.
• Collaborative, curious, and not afraid to challenge or roll your sleeves up.

This is a rare opportunity to build something lasting, global and people-first, in a business that values creativity, agility and authenticity.
