A dynamic, high-growth organisation and recognised leader in its field, this organisation partners with clients on critical work as they navigate complexity, manage risk, and adapt to an increasingly digital world. With a global footprint and a reputation for specialist expertise delivered with a strong customer focus, its trajectory reflects bold ambition backed by significant international expansion already underway. Supporting this growth is a commitment to innovation and continuous investment in talent, ensuring the organisation remains agile, highly sought after, and firmly future-focused.

The Director, People Services will play a pivotal role in shaping a function that supports this scaling and globally ambitious business, ensuring it is fit for both today and the future.

About the Role

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, the Director, People Services will play a pivotal role in driving operational excellence, modernising service delivery, and enabling scalability as the business continues to expand. The remit includes leading a small but high-performing payroll team with a strong compliance record, supporting reward governance and leading the delivery of HR Services.
