About the role

We’re growing fast! We’re a team of around 200 in 4 locations, and we’re looking for someone to help keep our people processes running smoothly as we scale.

You’ll be the go-to person for employee questions and the engine behind our day-to-day People ops, from onboarding and contracts to HRIS data and compliance. You won’t just be running processes, you’ll be building them too, so there’s real ownership and lots of room to make things better. It’s a broad, hands-on role, and it’s perfect for you if you’re organised, curious, and love making things work seamlessly behind the scenes.
