We are partnering with an exciting, high-growth FinTech to appoint an experienced Employee Relations Specialist. This is a unique opportunity to join a scaling business where employee relations is a critical function, supporting a large operational workforce and enabling business performance through effective people management.
We're particularly interested in speaking with ER professionals who have managed high-volume, complex casework within operational environments, such as distribution centres, logistics, facilities management, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, transport, customer operations, or other workforce-heavy businesses.

This role will suit someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys balancing commerciality with compliance, and is comfortable supporting managers who may have limited HR experience.
