The Organisation

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
