About the Role
This is a standalone People role reporting directly to the CEO, operating in a solo capacity to own the People function end-to-end. It requires a 'strategic doer' with the autonomy to own and deliver the People agenda, with a hands-on, execution-focused remit encompassing the full employee life cycle. The role involves both day-to-day operational tasks and acting as a commercial partner to the CEO and business leaders.
Responsibilities
- Shaping a high-performing, values-led culture that attracts, develops and retains exceptional people.
- Leading the employee engagement agenda and using insight and feedback to continually improve the employee experience.
- Handling employee relations with sound judgement, discretion and fairness, and drawing on strong (UK) employment law knowledge to balance risk against opportunity.
- Using People data and workforce analytics to identify trends, inform decisions and measure impact.
- Continually improving People systems, processes and ways of working.
- Working closely with our Fractional Talent Lead; overseeing talent acquisition strategy and continuing to develop the employer brand.
- Spending your time across the business, acting as a true business partner.
- Facilitating the development and upskilling of our people managers.
- Assessing and evolving existing People processes and policies, keeping what works and improving what doesn't.
- Managing HR operations across the employee life cycle including employee benefits, payroll (with finance), HR systems/tooling, onboarding and offboarding.
Requirements
- Experience in a senior People/HR role, in a scale-up or tech environment.
- Comfortable running a People function solo, with no direct reports.
- Strong commercial instincts - able to act as a tactical and strategic partner to the business, not just a policy owner.
- Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice.
- Confident leading employee relations issues - pragmatic, with good judgement, and able to balance empathy with business needs.
- Confident using People data and workforce analytics to inform decisions.
- Experience with compensation frameworks, performance management systems, and HR tooling.
- Able to quickly assess an existing function (processes, policies, systems) and prioritise what to change first.
