HR Manager x2
William Grant & Sons | Bellshill | Permanent | 4 days on-site, 1 WFH

We’re delighted to be partnering exclusively with William Grant & Sons to appoint two HR Managers into their Operations HR team during a really interesting period of change and transformation.

These are broad HR generalist roles that offer a genuine mix of hands-on operational HR and wider transformation and project work.

You’ll partner closely with a busy manufacturing operation, managing complex ER, coaching and supporting leaders and building credibility on the ground, while also getting involved in a significant transformation agenda including: SuccessFactors implementation, leadership capability, continuous improvement and wider HR transformation.

What we’re looking for:

  • Strong generalist HR experience, with proven ownership of complex ER/casework and the confidence to advise, coach and constructively challenge managers.
  • Experience working in a busy operational environment, partnering with frontline leaders and managing multiple, changing priorities.
  • Demonstrable involvement in HR projects, transformation, change or continuous improvement alongside BAU delivery.
  • Evidence of moving beyond simply providing HR advice to coaching managers, influencing stakeholders and taking ownership through to delivery and outcome.

 

Manufacturing/FMCG experience would be highly advantageous but isn’t essential. We’re open to different sector backgrounds, but you must bring strong operational HR experience alongside evidence of contributing to wider change, improvement or cultural transformation.

The culture is a big part of the opportunity too. You’ll be joining a genuinely friendly, sociable and collaborative HR team, with significant long service and a manager who is passionate about her team.
