- Builds trusted relationships across all levels of the business.
- Is curious, pragmatic and solutions-focused.
- Communicates confidently and adapts their style to different audiences.
- Balances empathy with commercial thinking.
- Takes ownership, uses sound judgement and follows through on commitments.
- Thrives in a collaborative environment and embraces change.
- Is passionate about creating a brilliant employee experience.
Main Responsibilities
- Partner with managers, providing practical advice and coaching on people matters.
- Lead employee relations cases fairly, consistently and in line with employment law.
- Own employment law updates, recommending improvements to policies and processes.
- Deliver People initiatives and projects that support our People strategy.
- Own core People operations, HR administration and HR systems.
- Maintain accurate employee records, reporting and compliance.
- Equip managers with the confidence and tools to lead effectively.
- Use data and feedback to improve the employee experience.
Our Ideal Candidate
- Proven experience in a People Partner, HR Advisor or similar generalist People role.
- Strong employee relations knowledge and up-to-date understanding of UK employment law.
- Experience coaching managers and influencing people decisions.
- Confident balancing operational People work with strategic projects.
- Comfortable working in a scaling business where priorities can change.
- Excellent relationship-building, communication and stakeholder management skills.
- A proactive, organised and commercially minded approach with strong attention to detail.
And a massive bonus if:
- You've worked in a SaaS or technology business.
- You've improved people systems, processes or ways of working.
- You've supported organisational change initiatives.
- You have experience using BambooHR or another HRIS.
