• Lead on organisational design, succession planning, and leadership development as the group expands
• Provide hands-on support across sites where needed, balancing strategic leadership with operational visibility
• Act as a key advisor to the board on all people-related matters during a period of significant change and growth

• Experience shaping and embedding culture and values within a growing business
• Commercially aware, with a clear understanding of how people strategy drives performance
• Experience within premium or high-quality environments is advantageous
• Resilient, pragmatic, and able to operate effectively in a fast-moving, evolving business
