At Runway East, we're on a mission to eliminate boring offices. Since 2014, we've created unique, flexible office spaces in London, Bristol, Bath, Birmingham and Brighton for teams of 1-100, featuring everything from dogs on demand to our famous Friday drinks trolley.
We offer great benefits, including private healthcare and team trips abroad, and we're a proud B Corp, committed to positive impact on the planet and people. With a strong brand and passionate customer base, we're ready to seize the opportunities presented by the evolving demand for flexible working.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
This role is open to part-time candidates. You'll need to be in our Tottenham Court Road office and on site regularly - this isn't a remote role - but we can be flexible to candidates requirements.
Requirements
Who You Are:
- You've been the senior person in the room before - probably at an early-stage startup, wearing five hats and making the calls yourself
- Reads the room fast - you clock what's really going on before anyone says it out loud
- People trust you with things they wouldn't tell everyone
- A communicator people actually want to talk to
- People warm to you fast, and trust follows just as quick
- Follows through without being chased
- Sweats the small stuff, in the best way
What you'll be doing?:
- Own recruitment start to finish - and how Runway East shows up to talent
- Make onboarding the kind people actually remember well
- Run our culture - Culture Squad, social committee, and beyond
- Own the goals process that sets the pace for the whole company
- Drive our performance and feedback rhythm
- Be the person managers call when people stuff gets hard
- Keep the People engine running - policies, perks, benefits, process
- Report straight into leadership - a seat at the table
