    People & Culture Manager - London, United Kingdom - Grind

    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    A bit about us.

    Grind is a coffee company that lives in London. Since opening Shoreditch Grind in 2011, we've expanded across London with cafés, coffee trucks and a state-of-the-art coffee roastery. Today, we serve millions of cups of coffee across London and the UK each year, and we've helped hundreds of thousands of people make better, more sustainable coffee at home.

    You'll find our coffee beans, compostable coffee pods and ready-to-drink coffee cans in people's homes, supermarkets across the UK and in hotels around the world.

    Based in Shoreditch, we have a team of talented people working on everything from product development to finance, to customer experience. We're looking for someone to join our growing team and help us in building the future of Grind.

    We think coffee can be a force for good. Whether it's through creating the UK's first compostable coffee pods, our plastic-free packaging or carbon-free shipping - we're on a mission to be the world's most sustainable coffee company.

    In 2023, we created our charity, the Better Coffee Foundation, to undo the damage done by the global coffee industry - in our first year, we recovered 43 million pods' worth of ocean-bound plastic.

    A bit about the role.

    As the HR Business Partner for Grind Coffee Roasters (GCR), you will play a pivotal partnership role to our Roastery (coffee warehouse & production) and Head Office teams. These units of the company are composed of approximately 100 diverse and driven employees in two different professional settings. As the People and Culture lead for these units, you will be responsible for executing both the strategy and processes. Your responsibilities will span across all aspects, offering an exceptional opportunity to create positive impact.

    With a keen understanding of UK labour legislation, you will provide leadership in job/team design, talent acquisition, organisation development, employee relations, talent development, compensation and benefits, and contribute to shaping a vibrant and inclusive work environment. This role requires a seasoned HR professional capable of navigating complex challenges, driving change initiatives, and promoting a high-performance culture within a fast-paced environment. A true HR generalist, your expertise will be instrumental in propelling Grind forward as a dynamic and progressive workplace, committed to the growth and well-being of our team members.

    The successful candidate will split their time between our Roastery in Bermondsey and our head office in Shoreditch.
