Dish’d – Restaurant Quality Virtual Brands

Dish’d is the UK’s fastest-growing franchisor of virtual food brands. We partner with food operators, helping them maximise their kitchen capacity by launching and scaling delivery-only virtual brands across key platforms.

We are looking for an experienced HR Manager to take ownership of our day-to-day HR function across our UK and Egypt teams, while also supporting the effective management of company contracts and wider business administration.

This is a hands-on generalist role for someone who is confident managing the full employee lifecycle and enjoys working closely with managers and employees to ensure HR is practical, consistent and well run. HR will remain the primary focus of the role, covering recruitment, employee relations, performance management, HR processes and compliance. Alongside this, the role will provide oversight of contract administration and support broader business administration and coordination needs.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Co-Founder and leadership team to strengthen our people practices, improve internal processes and support the effective running of the business as it continues to grow.

What you'll be responsible for

• Managing day-to-day HR activity across the UK and Egypt.
• Leading recruitment from role scoping and advertising through to interviews, offers and onboarding.
• Managing the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, probation, performance, absence and offboarding.
• Supporting and advising managers on employee relations, performance improvement, conduct and other people matters.
• Maintaining HR policies, employee records and processes across both territories.
• Working with Finance to ensure accurate and timely payroll-related employee information.
• Maintaining people data and providing useful HR reporting and insight to leadership.
• Supporting employee engagement, retention and culture initiatives.
• Working collaboratively across the UK and Egypt to ensure a consistent and joined-up approach to HR.
• Maintaining oversight of company contracts, including contract records, renewals, expiry dates, notice periods, approvals and signatures.
• Coordinating contract-related activity with relevant internal teams and external advisers, ensuring key deadlines and obligations are appropriately managed.
• Providing broader business administration and coordination support where required, including document management, reporting, internal processes and ad hoc projects.
• Identifying opportunities to strengthen and improve HR, contract management and administrative processes as the business develops.

What we're looking for

• A degree in Human Resources, Human Resource Management or a closely related discipline.
• A minimum of 5 years' experience working in an HR Manager role with broad generalist responsibility.
• Strong practical experience across recruitment, employee relations, performance management and the full employee lifecycle.
• Good knowledge of UK and Egyptian employment law and HR best practice.
• Confidence advising managers and handling sensitive or complex employee matters.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively across different teams, cultures and territories.
• A practical, organised and solutions-focused approach.
• A recognised HR qualification such as CIPD, SHRM or equivalent would be advantageous but is not essential.
