Want to build the people function of an ambitious technology company from the ground up?

A well-funded, VC-backed technology company is building a real-time logistics and decision intelligence platform. Following several years of research and development, the business is now entering a significant period of commercial delivery and growth.

The London team is small today, with engineering, QA and data hiring already underway and plans to grow significantly over the next 24 months. The next step is putting the recruitment; people processes and culture in place to support that growth.

Reporting to the COO, you will take ownership of HR & Business ops. You will improve how the company recruits and assesses people, build fantastic onboarding, develop the employee lifecycle and coach managers on feedback, performance and line management, to improve employee experience and retention, alongside project work with the COO for Business Operations

It is a role for someone comfortable working where things are not defined yet. You will bring structure without unnecessary bureaucracy and proactively understand what the business and its people need.
