The Handle People Experience team is excited to be working with a hugely successful and well regarded independent creative agency. They are looking to bring in an inspirational Global HR Director into a newly created role to steep them on this next phase of their journey

This global agency of c350 founded over 10 years ago and HQ'd in London is continuing its global growth and constantly evolving as an agency. They have always prioritised People and Culture as a business - they have a fantastic well established existing HR team of 6, and are doing great work with a thriving and engaged employee base and leading the way when it comes to DEI.

This new hire will strategically head up this function, looking at how they can take what they have been doing instinctively and elevate that. Reporting to the COO, you'll be working at csuite level, and equally be highly connected to the people and acting as that bridge between business reality and leadership. They want their HR strategy and EVP to be as creative and dynamic as their work and external brand are. You'll play a key role in the businesses continues growth, with further M&A plans and opening new global offices.

Who are they looking for?

This exciting opportunity would suit someone with global director or head of level generalist HR experience in the media/ creative industry. You'll bring a strong foundation of employment law knowledge and proven track record of success working across international regions. They have a big focus around Talent Attraction and Talent Development like most creative industry organisations right now, so would love someone to bring in fresh perspectives around these areas. Above all you'll be someone who really connects with the business, you'll be able to get under the skin of their culture and essence and deliver strategy that lands with this as well as inspires change.
