Description

We are at an exciting inflection point — standing up our own People & Culture infrastructure as an independent organisation. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role that sits at the heart of that transition.

As People & Culture Coordinator for the UKI market, you will work closely with our Global P&C team to build and operationalise our core people systems — including payroll, benefits, and HRIS — ensuring a seamless experience for our employees throughout this change. You will also provide on-the-ground support to our centralised Global Centres of Excellence (COEs) in areas such as Talent Acquisition and Learning & Development.

This role is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, comfortable working with data, and energised by getting things done. You do not need to have all the answers — you need to be the person who executes them.
 

Working With Us

This is a part-time, fixed-term role of approximately 20 hours per week, with flexibility on how those hours are structured. You will be embedded in the UKI market while working closely with a Global P&C team — giving you exposure to an international people function at a genuinely exciting moment in our company's story.

 

We are building something new, and we want people who are energised by that — who take pride in the details and understand that great execution is what makes strategy real.
