Head of HR | London | £100k–£120k
This Head of HR offers a strong mix of commercial thinking and hands-on delivery. They have built their career in people-critical environments where pace, clarity, and trust matter.
Their view of HR is simple.
Sustainable performance comes from taking people and culture seriously.
They began their career in operational management, gaining first-hand exposure to frontline pressure, performance targets, and day-to-day leadership challenges. This early experience shaped a practical, commercial mindset and a clear understanding of what drives engagement at team level.
From the outset, their focus went beyond outcomes to developing managers, coaching leaders, and building teams that could perform consistently under pressure.
That foundation led them into HR, where they have built broad generalist experience across startups, SMEs, and international organisations. They have supported businesses at different stages of maturity, from early growth through to complex change.
Their strength lies in linking people strategy to business need, ensuring HR decisions remain practical, credible, and grounded in commercial reality.
Most recently, they have partnered closely with CEOs and senior leadership teams as an HR Consultant, supporting organisations navigating growth, complexity, and transformation.
Their work spans workforce and organisation design, leadership and succession planning, performance and capability frameworks, employee relations, people risk, DEI, wellbeing, and data-led people strategy. Their focus is always on long-term impact rather than short-term fixes.
Alongside consultancy work, they bring strong in-house experience at Head of HR and HR Director level. They have led end-to-end people agendas in both creative and operationally complex environments, acting as a trusted advisor during periods of growth, restructuring, and change.
They are comfortable operating at pace and making sound judgements in challenging situations.
Their international experience has given them strong cultural awareness and the ability to adapt their leadership style to different workforce profiles. Colleagues describe them as calm, credible, and approachable, with a leadership style that builds trust quickly.
They are particularly effective in organisations that need to professionalise their people function while protecting identity and culture.
They are CIPD Level 7 qualified and hold a Master’s degree in International Human Resource Management. Their technical capability includes employee relations, organisational design, workforce planning, leadership coaching, and governance, with confidence operating at board and executive level.
They are now exploring Head of HR opportunities in and around London and are open to permanent roles or longer-term interim assignments. Salary expectations are in the region of £100,000 to £120,000.
For organisations seeking a Head of HR who can think strategically, deliver at pace, and lead with judgement, this candidate would add value from day one.
