Our Mission
At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.
We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.
The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for.
Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.

Overview
We're looking for someone hungry to learn and early in their career to join us as our People Operations Associate! (Please note we will either hire someone as a people operations associate or as an office manager, rather than both - this role can take a slightly different shape and career path depending on people's aspirations and experience!)
You'll get an inside look at how a high-performing tech startup operates: this is a great opportunity for exceptionally smart, motivated individuals who want to immerse themselves in the world of tech startups and gain real exposure to what it takes to keep a high-growth startup moving.
Your day-to-day will involve hands-on support across logistics, workflow automation (onboarding, offboarding, IT), office administration, events and internal operations. Beyond this, you'll have the opportunity to assist with projects wherever an extra set of capable hands is needed, including exposure to finance and other internal teams. Along the way, you’ll gain practical insight into startup life and how different functions collaborate with one another.
This is a rare opportunity to learn first-hand from a uniquely high-performing team as we scale a category-defining tech startup at speed.
What You Can Expect
- Operational Cadence: You’ll help handle the admin, workflows and logistics that free up our leaders to focus and enable the entire business to move faster. You'll build and maintain our onboarding, offboarding, contracting, scheduling, and administrative workflows, from everything from setting up laptops for new joiners to making sure our contract filing system is robust and always up to date
- Beating heart of keeping the office culture running: you will help maintain our office environment (weekly food orders, office moves and fit-outs, managing our service providers for cleaning and reconfiguration) and plan our regular London socials and events.
- Wide exposure: You'll assist with projects across all of Operations, gaining real visibility into how a startup runs behind the scenes, whether it's helping out with month-end bookkeeping or regular payment runs, or helping the sales team plan their quarterly kick-offs.
- Learn by doing: Get involved in a range of tasks - help with onboarding, audits, events, socials, merch and scheduling. Where we have our company monthly meetings, you will also get exposure to IT and AV to make our hybrid events a great experience.
- Momentum: You’ll get a front row seat to what it's like to scale a company just as we enter a phase of high growth, with the systems, challenges, and excitement that come with it.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About You
We’re looking for someone curious, proactive, and ready to roll up their sleeves. You might be a recent grad, early in your career or pivoting from a different field - what matters is your energy, problem-solving mindset, organisational skills, and desire to learn.
- You’re organised, resourceful, and detail oriented: you like systems, details, and getting things done well. You get a lot of satisfaction from knowing that all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed. You take satisfaction in knowing that things are ordered and up-to-date
- You’re technical for a non-technical person: you can figure out how to do stuff with AI, build good workflows and systems, and you're comfortable learning a lot about IT and AV
- You’re exceptional at time management: you can comfortably manage changing priorities and are able to switch gears with ease and aren't thrown off by people making regular requests at the last minute
- You’re humble: we're seldom the stars of the show in operations, and parts of the job are not as glamorous! You take satisfaction in a job well done without needing to feel you own the limelight
- You have a strong track record: graduated with strong results and a clear drive to learn and push yourself, and you have some impressive experience - it doesn’t need to be formal work experience, it could be launching a side hustle, building a society at university, running events, or anything that shows you’ve taken initiative and made something happen.
- You’re good with people: you’re just as comfortable chatting to a senior leader as you are with a new hire - you'll be one of the first people that a lot of our new joiners meet.
- You're excited about startups: not just as a job, but as an environment where you can learn quickly, contribute meaningfully, and build the kind of hands-on operational expertise that only comes from being at the centre of a fast-growing company. You adapt quickly, handle ambiguity, and keep things moving forward.
- You're based in London or nearby: this is a hybrid role (standardly 3 but for this role, sometimes 4 days a week in-person) in Victoria.
