• Oversee employee lifecycle administration and coordinate payroll-related activity.

About You

You will be an experienced HR generalist with strong employee relations knowledge, ideally gained within manufacturing, distribution or another operational environment. You will be confident influencing stakeholders, supporting workforce change and identifying opportunities to improve HR processes.

A pragmatic, commercially minded approach and the ability to hit the ground running are essential.
