Head of Culture and Engagement

So, what will I be doing?

We believe food can be a force for good.

Not just in what it tastes like, but in what it makes possible - for people, for farming, for nature and for generations to come. We are building a business that proves commercial success and deep responsibility can, and must, go hand in hand. A business rooted in sustainable food systems, organic principles, regenerative thinking, co-ownership and a long-term commitment to the health of our land, our communities and our future.

Our ambition is not modest. We want to help shape a better food system while building a co-owned organisation where people feel they truly matter - where voice is real, contribution is visible and success is shared. We want people to feel proud of what we make, how we make it and the difference they make by being here.

That is why this role exists. To Nurture & Nourish People & Planet by Making Great Food the Right Way. Forever.

As our inaugural Head of Culture and Engagement, you will help shape the future character of the organisation.

This is a pivotal leadership role at the intersection of purpose, people, performance and transformation. You will create the conditions for co-owners to feel informed, involved and inspired - connected not only to the strategy of the business, but to the deeper reason we exist. You will help build a culture where people understand where we are going, believe in why it matters and feel empowered to influence how we get there.

You will lead the evolution of how culture is experienced across the organisation: how communication flows, how leaders show up, how people navigate change, how wellbeing is championed, how feedback is heard and how co-ownership becomes something people genuinely feel, not just something they are told.

In a period of strategic growth and organisational change, your impact will be felt everywhere. You will bring clarity in complexity, energy in moments of uncertainty and direction in moments that matter. You will partner senior leaders, shape the co-owner experience across multiple sites and lead a talented team to deliver bold, insight-led work that strengthens trust, belonging, performance and shared accountability.

This is a rare opportunity to build something significant - not from the sidelines, but from the centre.

You will be accountable for creating a culture and engagement approach that helps the organisation thrive as a purposeful, co-owned business.

You will define and drive a compelling culture and engagement strategy that connects co-owners to our purpose, values and long-term ambition. Your work will help people feel part of something meaningful and ensure culture becomes a lived experience across every site, team and key career moment.

You will help turn co-ownership into a genuine organisational reality - strengthening ownership, accountability, pride and shared success. You will create frameworks, experiences and communication that deepen people's sense of influence and connection to the future of the business.

You will set the direction for how the organisation communicates with clarity, honesty and impact. You will build an approach that cuts through noise, supports understanding and helps people engage with what matters most. You will also raise leadership capability so managers and senior leaders communicate with confidence, consistency and authenticity.

You will own the end-to-end co-owner narrative - ensuring what people hear, see and experience feels coherent, human and credible. You will lead the evolution of the engagement and voice approach, using insight to improve the moments that matter most: onboarding, development, recognition, change, transition and everyday working life.

You will design and deliver communication and engagement strategies that help people navigate change with clarity and confidence. This includes major People and Culture initiatives and wider transformation activity, ensuring change is well-governed, well-sequenced and experienced as something people can participate in, not something that happens to them.

You will make our wider mission visible and meaningful inside the…
