Job Posted: 8 days ago

Salary: £ 50,000 - 60,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Wrexham

Expire in: 19 days

Job Description

We are partnering with a growing, owner-managed SME within the distribution sector to appoint an experienced HR Manager based at their Wrexham site. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape a people function from the ground up within a business that is evolving quickly and investing in its future.

Client Details

Our customer is an owner-managed SME within the distribution sector. With a headcount of circa 150 employees across multiple UK locations, the organisation is entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation.

This business is known for its customer-centric approach.

Description

This is a standalone, hands-on HR leadership role with a strong operational focus, working closely with the day-to-day needs of the business while also contributing to longer-term strategic direction. Initially, the role will be heavily aligned to operational delivery - supporting managers, embedding core processes, and building credibility across the workforce. Over time, there is clear scope for the role to evolve into a more strategic position as the function matures and the business continues to grow.

Reporting into a Divisional Managing Director, with a dotted line to the Group CEO, you will play a key role in shaping the people agenda across the business.

While the role is based in Wrexham, you will support additional sites across the UK, including locations in Lancashire, the Midlands, and the South East.

Key Responsibilities:

Establish and develop the HR function, policies, and processes from scratch
Provide hands-on, operational HR support across employee relations, performance, and day-to-day people matters
Partner with senior leadership to gradually shape and deliver a forward-looking people strategy
Lead initiatives across engagement, management development, and organisational culture
Support diversity, equity & inclusion and social impact initiatives
Contribute to organisational design projects at both divisional and group level
Coach and support managers to build capability and confidence in people management 

This role is based on-site in Wrexham, five days per week

Profile

Proven experience in a standalone or senior HR role within an SME or growing business
Comfortable operating both operationally and strategically, with the ability to flex as the business evolves
Strong generalist skillset across employee relations, performance, and engagement
Commercially minded with the ability to influence and partner with senior stakeholders
Adaptable and hands-on, with a proactive and solutions-focused approach
Experience supporting multi-site operations is advantageous 

This role offers the chance to make a genuine impact by shaping the future of HR within a business that values its people and is committed to growth. You will have the autonomy to build a function that adds real value, with the opportunity to grow the role into a more strategic leadership position over time.

Job Offer

This role pays up to £50,000 to £60,000 per annum (dependant on experience), inclusive of a car allowance, performance related bonus and a suite of benefits
