Job Description

Head of HR Consultancy - Glasgow

We're exclusively representing a leading UK HR and employment law consultancy who are looking for a high impact - HR Consultancy Manager to take full ownership of their Glasgow operation.

This is not a "keep the lights on" role. It's a lead-from-the-front leadership position where you'll run the HR Advisory function like your own business - driving performance, developing talent, and delivering outstanding service to a diverse client base.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading, motivating and developing a high-performing team of HR Advisors
  • Owning performance, quality and KPI delivery - with client sentiment front and centre
  • Acting as the senior escalation point for complex employment and service issues
  • Coaching, mentoring and developing team leaders and consultants
  • Driving commercial thinking, continuous improvement and service innovation
  • Partnering closely with senior leadership, marketing and other departments
  • Playing a key role in recruitment, training, engagement and retention
  • Taking ownership of the Scottish client base and helping grow it further

What we're looking for

  • A confident, inspirational people leader with strong HR advisory experience
  • Commercially astute - someone who treats operations like a business, not a function
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
  • Excellent employment law knowledge and client-facing skills
  • Calm under pressure, solutions-focused and decisive
  • A natural coach who brings the best out of individuals and teams

Why this role?

  • Genuine autonomy and influence
  • The opportunity to shape, grow and elevate a major regional operation
  • A role where your impact will be visible, valued and rewarded

If you're an ambitious HR leader ready to step into a role with real ownership, pace and purpose, we'd love to hear from you.
