VP People | High-Growth, Founder-Led Consumer Business

Overview

We’re partnering with a founder-led, high-growth online consumer business at a genuine inflection point.

The company has scaled rapidly over the past few years and is now shifting focus - from pace and expansion to raising the bar on talent, performance and execution across the organisation.

This is a senior People leadership role with real scope: hands-on, high-impact, and central to shaping how the business actually works and scales from here.

Responsibilities

• Talent quality and hiring standards
• Performance expectations and accountability
• Leadership capability, structure and ways of working

You’ll work closely with a highly engaged founder and leadership team who are self-aware about what needs to change - and are actively looking for a People leader who will challenge, not just support.

Qualifications

This role will appeal to someone who:

• Has led an innovative People strategy in a high-growth consumer or tech-enabled business
• Has lived through real scale and ambiguity, not just managed at maturity
• Is commercially minded, intellectually curious and low-ego
• Wants to make a visible, meaningful impact, rather than inherit something already finished

Location

Location - London HQ, with a strong in-office presence

Compensation

Compensation - Up to £170k base ++ package

If you’re motivated by building, raising standards and shaping the next phase of a business, we’d love to speak confidentially. Get in touch with our Senior Talent Partner, Kelly Tzelepis, who is leading this search - kelly@jdand.co.uk
