This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced and commercially astute Group Human Resources Director to join a luxury hotel business with four properties in London, one in USA (with large expansion plans for USA.)
The role calls for a confident, credible and highly visible HR leader who can operate both strategically and hands-on across a fast-paced, people-focused hospitality environment. Working closely with senior leadership and property teams, you will play a key role in shaping the people strategy, strengthening culture and supporting operational performance.
This is not a behind-the-scenes HRD role. It requires presence, pace and genuine partnership with the business. You will be expected to build trust quickly, provide clear and commercially balanced advice, and lead with both authority and warmth.
The ideal candidate will bring strong, multi-site, international, luxury hospitality experience and the ability to balance strategic people leadership with the realities of a dynamic multi-property operation.

Key Responsibilities
Lead the people strategy across the group, ensuring HR is commercially aligned, proactive and visible within the operation
Support the people strategy for future international growth, including upcoming expansion plans in the USA
Help shape scalable people practices, policies and leadership frameworks that can support both the existing London properties and future openings.
Provide HR insight into international expansion planning, including talent mapping, leadership capability, culture transfer and operational readiness.
