Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) is the voice of our members and the 5.5 million-strong small business and self-employed community. We exist to protect those who start out on their own, and work hard to build and sustain their business, by making sure we’re on their side when they need help. We provide services and support when they are needed most, and we connect the like-minded small businesses in all local communities across the UK. We also connect our members with government in its many forms. We inform and lobby the government in Westminster, the devolved nations and local decision-makers on the range of issues that matter to our members – small businesses and the self-employed. Through our campaigning we bring attention to the day-to-day issues that business owners face, and propose practical solutions which will help, and that those in power can adopt. We are now looking for an exceptional Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development. This role sits at the heart of the executive team, and at the heart of our business. Your role will be fundamental to the organisation's strategy going forward and will enable you to lever all your skills. These will include your expertise and experience in harnessing digital and other technologies to analyse, anticipate and support our workforce ambitions to drive the best decisions which affect our people, policies and bottom line. Wherever you are now, this is a pivotal senior appointment. Leading a small team, you will have considerable influence across the organisation with an astute, resilient, visionary, but also professional approach, with the highest levels of integrity in approach and practice. Flexible and adaptable with the ability to thrive in ambiguity, you will bring the skills to quickly assimilate information and a problem-solving mindset. This is a hugely exciting time to join FSB with significant opportunities ahead, including a future-facing digital infrastructure and innovative commercial ambitions for 2025. If you believe you have the skills, qualities and attributes, this is an unrivalled chance to have a lasting impact on small businesses throughout the country.
