Artis Recruitment Ltd

BLOCK, The Fairfax, Pithay Court, Bristol, BS1 3BN

HR Manager

Artis HR are with a growing tech business that’s at a really exciting stage in its journey.

They’ve scaled steadily over the past few years and are now at the point where they’re investing more into their people function. This role has come about as part of that shift, moving HR towards a more strategic, forward-thinking approach.

It’s a great opportunity to step into a role where you’ll have real ownership, visibility, and the chance to shape how HR supports the business as it continues to grow.

The role

Reporting into the CFO and working closely with the leadership team, you’ll take ownership of the HR function across the business.

This isn’t a “fix everything” role. The foundations are in place, but there’s plenty of scope to evolve, improve and lead on projects that will genuinely make a difference.

You’ll be a key point of contact for managers and employees, balancing day-to-day HR with longer-term initiatives.

What you’ll be doing

-Partnering with senior leaders to support business growth and people planning

-Coaching managers on employee relations, performance and day-to-day people challenges

-Driving forward performance management and development initiatives

-Supporting hiring activity and improving the overall candidate and onboarding experience

-Reviewing and evolving HR processes and policies to suit a scaling business

-Overseeing HR systems, payroll inputs and benefits administration

-Leading on HR projects that add value as the business grow

What they’re looking for

-A well-rounded HR generalist, ideally from a growing or SME environment

-Someone pragmatic, adaptable and comfortable in a fast-paced setting

-Confident working with senior stakeholders and building relationships across the business

-Either an existing HR Manager or someone ready to step up into their first standalone role

-CIPD Level 3+ (with support available for further development)

Why this role?

-Genuine ownership of the HR function

-Opportunity to step into a more strategic role

-A business that is growing but still values a down-to-earth, collaborative culture

-Support for development and progression over the next few years

-Flexible, hybrid working with a focus on output over hours

The environment

This is a business where things move quickly and people take ownership. It’s not overly corporate, and they’re looking for someone who can bring a bit of common sense, build strong relationships, and add value without overcomplicating things.

Interested?

If you’re looking for a role where you can grow, take ownership and make a real impact, I’d love to have a chat.

Please note, you must have the right to work in the UK and be within a commutable distance of Bristol for this role.

We aim to respond to every application, however due to high volumes this isn’t always possible. We may be in touch via phone or email to ask a few additional questions or to arrange an initial screening call.
