People Partner 12-Month FTC (Maternity Cover)

Job description

We're growing fast, and our People function needs to keep pace. Sophie, our People Partner, is heading off on leave for 12 months and we need someone who can step in and keep things moving from day one. You'll be the first point of contact for all People queries across the business, owning KPIs, engagement, performance reviews and ER casework. You'll report into our VP of People. We’re looking for someone who's approachable and calm under pressure, with a coaching mindset. You'll empower managers to solve problems themselves rather than doing it for them. Comfortable working without a rigid playbook, switching context quickly between competing priorities, and confident pushing back constructively on senior stakeholders when needed. High EQ, and genuinely comfortable with ambiguity. **Given this is a maternity cover, we'd love to hear from people who can start before October to allow for a 2 week handover.**
