About the role
Reporting to the CFO, you’ll lead the people function, combining strategic leadership with hands-on delivery. You’ll advise senior leaders, develop the People/HR function and build the systems, policies and processes that support an effective international team.

Alongside recruiting employees, you’ll build a trusted network of specialist contractors and advisers who can support government partners when expertise is needed.
