About the role
We are looking for a People Partner to build the foundations of our People Operations function.
You will stay close to the people doing the work, build trusted relationships across technical and operational teams, and turn a strong understanding of the business into practical people support.

To thrive here you will need to be comfortable working at pace, with the autonomy to make decisions and execute on them quickly. If you’re excited by hard technical challenges and want a role where you will make a real difference each day to the future of the company, we may be the place for you.
