Senior HR Business Partner / HR Leader (Consumer)

Elliott Scott - HR search & recruitment

About the Role

We’re partnering with a high-growth, category-defining consumer brand to hire a HR Business Partner / HR Leader to support a rapidly scaling business at the intersection of consumer products, digital commerce, and brand.

This is a builder role — designed for someone who wants to operate inside the business, not alongside it.

The Opportunity

You will partner directly with senior leadership across:

  • Commercial / GTM
  • Brand & Marketing
  • Product & Operations

…helping to scale a modern consumer organization in real time.

This is a business that is:

  • Experiencing significant growth and expansion
  • Building infrastructure while scaling (not after)
  • Operating with speed, ownership, and ambition

Why This Role?

  • Build vs Maintain- You’ll help shape how HR operates — not inherit a fixed model
  • True Business Exposure- Direct partnership with senior commercial and operational leaders
  • Pace & Impact- Decisions happen quickly — your impact is visible and immediate
  • Modern Consumer Environment- A blend of CPG, eCommerce, and digital-first brand building

Role and Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as a trusted HR partner to leadership teams
  • Support organizational design, team effectiveness, and scaling efforts
  • Coach and develop leaders in a high-growth environment
  • Navigate employee relations and performance matters with sound judgment
  • Identify people risks and proactively drive solutions
  • Help build fit-for-purpose people processes aligned to business growth

Key skills required:

Core requirements

  • 7–12+ years HR experience
  • Background in high-growth consumer, eCommerce, retail, or CPG environments
  • Strong HRBP experience supporting commercial / GTM functions
  • Proven ability to operate in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Experience coaching leaders and influencing at senior levels

Who you are

  • A builder, not a maintainer
  • Commercially minded — understands how businesses scale
  • Comfortable with pace, ambiguity, and evolving priorities
  • Practical, solutions-oriented, and highly credible

Why explore this?

Even if you’re not actively looking, this is a chance to:

  • Work inside a high-growth consumer business at a pivotal stage
  • Help define how HR supports a modern, scaling organization
  • Gain exposure to a unique operating model blending brand, product, and commerce
