- Drive change management initiatives, ensuring that the organisation is able to adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.
- Foster a positive and engaging workplace culture, promoting the company’s values.
- Continuously improve and evolve Bede’s People-related processes and practices, keeping up-to-date with the latest industry trends and best practices.
- Ensure that Bede’s diversity and inclusion initiatives are aligned with the company’s values and goals, promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace culture.
- Act as a brand ambassador for Bede Gaming, promoting the company’s employer brand and attracting top talent to the organisation.
- Manage the department’s annual budget

- Be a highly influential and engaging communicator who can build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen including financial planning and budgeting
- Have a passion for developing team members and empowering colleagues, promoting a positive and inclusive workplace culture.
- Be able to thrive in a competitive, fast-paced, and constantly evolving industry, using your creativity and resourcefulness to overcome challenges and seize opportunities.
- Hold a professional qualification in HR (e.g. CIPD), with a deep understanding of HR best practices and trends.
- Reside in the North East and be able to accommodate some international travel, bringing a global perspective to the role.
- Be a natural leader who can inspire and motivate others to achieve their best, promoting a culture of excellence and collaboration.
- Have a strategic mindset, with the ability to think creatively about the company’s People-related initiatives and how they can support the overall business strategy.
- Be adaptable and flexible, able to pivot quickly as the needs of the organisation evolve and change.
- Demonstrate a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, promoting a workplace culture that is welcoming and inclusive for all employees.
