Job description

Interim HR Director (c10 months) – Greater Manchester (Hybrid) – FTC – £85k–£95k + Benefits (DOE)
.
Who’s the business?

A well-established, successful manufacturing business with sites across the UK and overseas. They're serious about what they do and even more serious about doing it better—always evolving, whether that’s product innovation or tightening up internal systems and processes.

What’s the role about?

You’ll be stepping into a key HR Director role, leading a, well-established team and working closely with the Exec to bring the People Plan to life. This isn’t a blank-page strategy role—it’s about taking a well-thought-out roadmap and getting it delivered.

There’s a transformation programme already in motion, so your focus will be on execution: ensuring delivery is smooth, well-communicated, and keeps people on side throughout the change.

You’ll oversee BAU HR, but a big piece of the puzzle is improving and embedding the HR transactional service, including new systems rollouts. You’ll also take the lead on complex ER issues and be a trusted advisor and coach to leaders across the business.

Collaboration is key here—you’ll be working closely with colleagues across OD, Talent, and Change, plus regional and international teams, to keep things consistent and aligned across the board.

Who are we looking for?

An experienced senior HR generalist, with a strong background in HR Shared Services / People Services / HR Ops. You’ll need to be confident navigating HR systems, leading high-performing teams, and managing through change. Ideally, you’ll bring experience from a unionised manufacturing setting—you’ll understand the pace, the people, and the practicalities.

What’s on offer?

• Salary: £85k–£95k DOE
• Benefits package
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office / 2 from home

Contract details:This is a 10-month FTC, starting early September (possibly late August). Interviews are set for mid to late July—so if this sounds like your kind of challenge, now’s the time to apply.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion are integral to everything that we do. We are committed to these values and they are central to our mission. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, and we are more than happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that you may require.
