The Role

This is a broad and varied HR role, suited to someone who enjoys being involved in all areas of HR within a smaller, creative business environment.

The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the day-to-day HR function, helping to ensure the studio has clear processes, compliant policies and a positive employee experience.

This role would suit someone who is confident working independently, enjoys building strong relationships across a business, and is happy to take ownership of both administrative and advisory HR duties.

This role is likely to suit someone currently working as an HR Executive, HR Advisor, People Advisor or similar.

Candidates with an HR Manager title may also be considered, provided they are comfortable working in a hands-on, operational role rather than a senior strategic or director-level position.

• Comfortable working independently across all areas of HR
• Strong understanding of HR processes, policies and compliance
• Hands-on and operational approach

This is an excellent opportunity to join a luxury, design-led studio where you can play an important role in supporting the continued growth of the business.

The role offers the chance to work closely with leadership, support a creative team and help shape the studio’s HR processes, people experience and culture as the business continues to develop.
