Job Description
HR Manager – Build, Shape and Lead the Future of People at Brunetti Classico
n
About Brunetti Classico
n
Brunetti Classico is a name synonymous with premium Italian hospitality — a brand built on craft, consistency, and experience. From the first greeting to the final espresso, everything we do reflects our passion for quality, tradition, and service.
n
As we continue to evolve, we're focused not just on maintaining our legacy, but on shaping what comes next — with a explicit ambition to elevate how our people perform, grow, and experience work.
n
The Opportunity
n
This is a newly created role with a clear mandate: build, elevate, and lead the HR function.
n
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will operate as a true strategic partner — designing the systems, frameworks, and capabilities that enable our business to perform at its best. You'll play a central role in shaping culture, lifting our people capability, and embedding modern, scalable people practices across the organisation.
n
This is a role for someone who wants to take an organisation to the next level, create from a blank page, influence at the highest level, and deliver meaningful organisational change.
n
This will be either a part-time or full-time role, depending on the candidate (3-5 days per week).
n
What You'll Be Responsible For
n
Partner with the CEO and leadership team to align people strategy with business goals
n
Design and implement scalable systems across performance, recruitment, and development
n
Lead initiatives that uplift capability, culture, and performance
n
Build practical tools and processes that empower leaders and teams
n
Use people data and insights to inform decisions and drive better outcomes
n
Provide expert advice and hands‐on leadership on complex people, culture and compliance matters in a people-intensive environment (ER/IR, awards, investigations, etc.)
n




Lead and develop our HR Coordinator while ensuring operational continuity
n
What This Role Does Not Include
n
Not a transactional or admin‐heavy HR role — but one that does step in personally on complex, high‐risk, sensitive and strategically important matters requiring senior judgement
n
Not responsible for day‐to‐day people management issues — leaders own their teams
n
Not focused on routine recruitment or payroll processing
n
Not about maintaining the status quo — this is about building and evolving
n
About You
n
You're a strategic and hands‐on HR leader who enjoys building and improving.
n
You bring:
n
5–10 years' HR generalist experience, including time in a leadership role
n
A track record of building or transforming HR functions, systems, or culture
n
Solid commercial thinking, with the ability to translate business goals into people strategies
n
Confidence across both strategy and execution, and working across a broad HR remit — from performance and capability to ER/IR and compliance
n
Experience in people‐intensive, multi‐site, or evolving environments (hospitality, retail, manufacturing, or similar)
n
Comfortable building structure, capability, and discipline in a fast‐moving business where HR maturity is evolving
n
Just as importantly, you're:
n
Collaborative, approachable, personable, and high in emotional intelligence
n
Adaptable and comfortable navigating ambiguity
n
A natural coach who lifts capability in others
n
Confident leading change and managing through complexity
n
Why Join Us
n
This is a rare opportunity to build something meaningful.
n
You'll have the autonomy to shape the function, the backing of leadership to drive change, and the platform to make a genuine impact on how our people experience work.
n
At Brunetti Classico, we take pride in what we do — and how we do it. You'll be joining a business that values quality, collaboration, and respect, with a strong sense of team at its core.
