People Operations & Policy Manager - 6 month FTC
Iconic Resourcing HR are working with an established business, who constantly work at pace and who are seeking a People Operations & Policy Manager to support and lead a dedicated team, during a period of transition on a 6-month FTC basis. You'll be stepping in at a critical time, offering stability, driving process improvement, and ensuring the smooth delivery of core people services across the business.
Day to day you will:
* Leading a team across people operations, including payroll coordination, monthly reconciliations and employee lifecycle administration.
* Providing hands-on leadership and support to a developing team during a time of change.
* Taking ownership of the relationship with an outsourced payroll provider—you won’t run payroll, but you’ll need to speak the language and confidently hold them to account.
* Driving policy development and ensuring best practice in employment relations.
* Improving processes and identifying smarter ways of working—manual spreadsheet tasks need refining, and your experience will help modernise and streamline.
* Supporting change projects, including simplification and restructuring initiatives.
What we’re looking for:
* An experienced People Operations or HR Services Manager, with a strong grasp of people policy, payroll oversight, and process improvement.
* Proven ability to lead and develop a team—especially through times of flux.
* Comfortable operating at pace and juggling high volumes with precision and care.
* A collaborative leader who can “wrap their arms” around a team and provide calm, structured support.
* Ideally from a FMCG or similarly fast paced environment, but open to those who thrive on variety and momentum.
* Strong understanding of employee relations, policy compliance, and change management.
