đź‘‹ About Us
We are Foundation Partners - a consultancy working with some of the world's most exciting tech companies on all things people + culture. Why? Well, quite simply, not all technology companies have the financial resources, capacity, or experience to tackle the challenges of scaling a business and driving performance. A world-class People, Culture & HR operation is instrumental for this. As such, we’ve built a blended service so companies get the experience and support - both strategically and day to day - that they need to build an exceptional business.
Currently, we are a small but mighty team of 9, with backgrounds in commercial, people + culture, VC and consulting. We have ambitious plans for growth, and as part of that we’re hiring for this super exciting and progressive role.
Alongside Unleashed & JBM, we are part of Amplified - the people services group that supports technology companies from inception to IPO.
đź’Ľ About The Role
This role is a unique opportunity for you to lay early foundations and accelerate your development in career in People + Culture as you’ll get to work with a variety of clients and topics at pace
As a member of a small client-facing business, you’ll work directly with our partners on projects - experienced people and business builders. You’ll work on both the client work itself, as well as being behind the scenes supporting the growth of our own business. This role is well-suited to someone who loves streamlining processes, pays attention to detail, and takes pride in exceptional execution.

A People team built for ambitious businesses
The old model for People & Talent doesn’t work for today's businesses. We've built a better one.
Traditionally, early-stage Founders had two options: handle People & Talent themselves, losing precious time they should be spending on product or go-to-market, or hire a generalist, expected to cover everything from culture to recruitment to performance. We offer a more impactful alternative: A fully flexible, fractional People & Talent team with specialist skillsets and hands-on delivery, ready to start driving impact for your business in weeks, not months.
