Senior HR Officer

Hello, there is a job which requires both HR generalist (including payroll) and strategic roles and you will be the only HR person in the company (approximately 50-60 employees).  This role reports to the Managing Director.  As this is a standalone HR roles which requires a wide range of experiences on operational and strategic sides, is Senior HR Officer a proper job title? Or it should be HR Manager or HRBP? Looking forwards to your advice, many thanks!

    I agree with the other contributors to the debate that a name is not the key thing but however the name does reflect peoples' views of what should be delivered by the role. From what you have said it does not feel like a HRBP which is most organisations delivers strategically whereas your role appears very much hands on so a title "manager" may be more relevant. What is key is to ensure the job description and person specification accurately reflects the requirements so that your recruitment process provides you with candidates who understand what the role is expected to deliver.
