Your new role

Reporting into the global Head of HR, this sole-charge role will oversee the full spectrum of HR operations for their US business, with a focus on HR processes, compliance, payroll oversight, and strategic alignment with global processes. You’ll be the go-to HR contact for the US, supporting US employees and collaborating with international colleagues to mirror best practices from the UK.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Minimum of 5–7 years’ experience in HR operations within a professional services or similar high-performance environment

  • Degree or HR certification required
  • Comfortable working independently and managing multiple priorities across regions

What you'll get in return

This role offers the opportunity to lead and shape the HR function across the US while contributing to broader global initiatives.
