Job description

People Business Partner – Premium Brands & Creative Collective

£80,000 | Hybrid – 3 days a week in Central London | Immediate Start

We’re working with a global collective of creative agencies partnering with some of the world’s most exciting premium, luxury and lifestyle brands. They’re looking for a People Business Partner to work closely with agency founders and senior leaders, helping them build strong teams, develop leadership capability and create the right environment for their businesses to thrive.

This is a great opportunity for an HR professional who understands brand-led businesses, where creativity, culture and commercial performance go hand in hand. You'll be joining a growing group of independent agencies, each with its own identity and personality, but connected by a shared ambition to deliver brilliant work for exceptional clients.

The role

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you’ll be part of a collaborative, generalist HR team, partnering with Group HQ and a portfolio of agencies with a combined headcount of around x200.

The businesses are at different stages of their growth journey. Some have established people practices, whilst others need more hands-on support to develop their approach. You’ll need to be comfortable moving between the two – providing strategic advice where it’s needed, but equally happy getting into the detail and helping leaders work through day-to-day people challenges.

Working closely with founders and leadership teams, you’ll help shape people plans that support business growth, strengthen leadership and build high-performing cultures. Your remit will span complex employee relations, organisational design, restructures and change, alongside engagement initiatives and wider people projects.

What we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced HR Business Partner who enjoys working closely with senior stakeholders and understands the dynamics of creative, brand-led businesses. You might come from a luxury, premium or lifestyle brand, or have experience within a creative, media or agency environment.

You’ll be commercially minded, pragmatic and confident influencing leaders, with the judgement to balance business needs with a thoughtful, people-first approach. Just as importantly, you’ll know that one size rarely fits all. Each agency has its own culture and way of working, so building trust, adapting your style and bringing people with you will be key.

If you enjoy the mix of commercial thinking, strong relationships and creative culture – and want a role where you can genuinely influence how businesses grow – we’d love to hear from you.

We are committed to creating an inclusive recruitment process and welcome applications from all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
