Interim People Director
Macmillan Davies
People Director - Interim 3 Months
Manchester (Hybrid) – £80,000 - £85,000 FTE
Are you a Board-level People leader who thrives in complex, international environments?
Our client is an established, globally operating organisation seeking an experienced Interim People Director to step into a high-impact, 3-month assignment starting this month.
This is not a steady-state role. It's a visible, influential position at the heart of the Executive team, where governance, transformation and strategic People leadership intersect.
The Impact You’ll Make
You’ll operate as a trusted advisor to the Executive team, providing confident, commercially grounded leadership across the global People agenda.
With an international workforce spanning multiple time zones, this role requires someone comfortable working globally including availability for occasional evening calls to connect with overseas colleagues.
Key areas of focus include:
- Providing strategic People leadership at Executive level
- Strengthening governance, compliance and risk frameworks
- Leading and advising on complex TUPE activity
- Overseeing a significant HR systems upgrade
- Supporting organisational design and workforce planning
- Ensuring global alignment while respecting local legislative requirements
What We’re Looking For
This opportunity will suit a seasoned People Director who:
- Has proven experience influencing and advising at Board level
- Brings strong governance expertise and understands risk in complex organisations
- Has led or supported significant TUPE processes
- Has overseen HR systems implementation or transformation projects
- Can step in quickly, build credibility fast and make an immediate impact
You’ll be pragmatic, commercially astute and calm under pressure, someone who enjoys bringing clarity and direction during periods of change.
If you’re available to start in March and wish to be considered for this interim People Director role, apply today with an up to date CV and we’ll aim to respond at the earliest opportunity.
