Join Brand Catapult — Where People, Ideas & Ambition Come Together
At Brand Catapult, we believe that great brands are built by great people.
We are a fast-growing, creatively driven Marketing & Communications agency, working at the intersection of strategy, branding, content, digital and communication. Over the years, we have partnered with brands across industries and markets, building meaningful work through a combination of strategic thinking, creativity and a deep understanding of culture and business.
Recently recognised as Best Design Studio 2026, Brand Catapult continues to grow as an industry-leading agency with an ambitious vision for the future.
But growth, for us, is not just about adding more clients or expanding our services. It is about building an exceptional team — one that is curious, driven, collaborative and excited by the opportunity to create work that makes an impact.
We are now looking for an HR Manager who can take ownership of one of the most important parts of our journey: our people.
This is not a role for someone who simply wants to manage HR processes.
We are looking for a strong, hands-on people leader who can help us attract exceptional talent, build a strong agency culture, strengthen our people practices and take complete ownership of the HR function as Brand Catapult enters its next phase of growth.
The OpportunityAs the HR Manager, you will work closely with the leadership team and take ownership of the complete employee lifecycle — with a particularly strong focus on building high-quality human capital for the agency.
Recruitment will be a key priority. We are growing aggressively and need someone who understands that hiring the right people can directly shape the quality of our work, our culture and our future.
You will lead our recruitment initiatives, strengthen our hiring processes, build a strong talent pipeline and ensure that we continue bringing in people who not only have the right skills, but also the mindset and ambition to thrive in a fast-paced agency environment.
You will be supported by a junior HR team member, but ownership of outcomes, quality and execution will rest with you.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who wants to build, not just manage.
What You’ll OwnTalent Acquisition & Recruitment- Lead and drive the agency's aggressive recruitment initiatives across departments and levels.
- Build strong talent pipelines and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of hiring.
- Work closely with leadership and department heads to understand business requirements and translate them into effective hiring strategies.
- Take direct ownership of key, senior and critical hires.
- Oversee and guide the junior HR team member handling day-to-day recruitment activities.
- Strengthen interview processes, candidate evaluation and overall hiring experience.
- Build Brand Catapult's employer brand and help position the agency as a workplace where ambitious people want to build their careers.

- Become a trusted bridge between employees and leadership.
- Create an environment where people feel heard, valued, challenged and motivated to do their best work.
- Proactively identify workplace concerns and opportunities for improvement.
- Drive employee engagement, team-building and internal initiatives that genuinely strengthen the organisation.
- Conduct feedback sessions, pulse checks and retention-focused initiatives.
Strategic HR Leadership- Lead the overall HR function with a strong focus on quality, accountability, performance and people development.
- Partner with leadership to understand growth plans and build appropriate workforce strategies.
- Continuously improve HR processes, documentation and systems to support a growing organisation.
- Recommend and help implement employee-centric policies and people management frameworks.
- Draft and manage HR policies, employee communications, official documentation and related processes.
Performance & People Development- Work with department heads to drive structured performance reviews and feedback processes.
- Support managers in identifying high performers, development opportunities and capability gaps.
- Ensure underperformance is addressed constructively and systematically, including Performance Improvement Plans where required.
- Help build a culture of continuous learning, knowledge-sharing and professional growth.
- Coordinate internal learning initiatives, workshops and relevant external training programmes.
Onboarding & Employee Lifecycle- Create a structured and welcoming onboarding experience that helps every new team member feel part of Brand Catapult from day one.
- Oversee induction, documentation, workspace readiness and cross-team coordination.
- Personally support onboarding for senior and key hires.
- Ensure smooth, professional and respectful offboarding processes.
HR Operations & Compliance- Oversee employee documentation, attendance, leave, payroll inputs and other HR operations.
- Ensure policies and internal processes are implemented consistently.
- Coordinate employee insurance and relevant vendor relationships.
- Maintain accurate employee records and support the continued improvement of HR systems and tools.
Who We’re Looking ForThe ideal candidate is someone who is equally comfortable sitting in a leadership discussion about the future of the organisation and rolling up their sleeves to solve an urgent people or hiring challenge.
You should have:
- Prior experience working with an advertising, marketing, creative or communications agency.
- A strong understanding of the agency ecosystem, its pace, its talent requirements and the mindset of people who work in creative environments.
- Proven experience in leading recruitment and talent acquisition initiatives.
- The ability to identify quality talent beyond simply matching CVs with job descriptions.
- Strong interpersonal, communication, conflict-resolution and people management skills.
- A high level of ownership, maturity and discretion while handling sensitive matters.
- A hands-on, solution-oriented mindset.
- The confidence to work directly with leadership while also building trust across teams.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfort working with Google Workspace, MS Office, HRMS and other workplace tools.
If you are someone who understands the energy of agency life, loves building strong teams and wants to take real ownership of a growing organisation's people journey, we would love to hear from you.
