HR & Business Operations Manager, Start up (seed phase) Tech company, London, £75-85k

For the right person, this is more than an HR role. It is a chance to shape how an ambitious technology company grows, operates and looks after its people from the very beginning.

An early-stage autonomous systems start-up is assembling the foundations that will allow its engineering teams to move fast without losing control. Robotics engineers, technical founders and product specialists are already pushing the boundaries of what the technology can do. The next step is building the people, culture and operational infrastructure that allows the company to scale properly.

Reporting to the COO, this role sits at the centre of that effort. You will design and implement the company’s people and business operations framework from the ground up. That means creating the hiring processes, creating fantastic onboarding and performance frameworks, establishing HR policies and compliance, and introducing the operational structure that keeps a fast-moving technical environment running smoothly.

It is a role for someone comfortable working where things are not defined yet.  Early-stage companies bring ambiguity, pace and occasional chaos. You will add value by bringing your energy and skills to give clarity and structure while working alongside highly technical teams focused on building complex robotics and autonomous systems.

Largely what you’ll be doing

• Designing and implementing the full employee lifecycle including recruitment, onboarding, performance frameworks and career development
• Building HR policies, compliance structures and employee relations processes suitable for a growing UK technology company
• Supporting leadership with headcount planning, operational metrics and workforce insight
• Selecting and implementing internal tools that allow the company to scale smoothly
• Build out Business & Operational Processes as well as HR processes

Experience building HR or People Operations functions in a start-up or high-growth technology environment will be needed, particularly if you are comfortable creating systems where none previously existed.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a business early, bring order to complexity and play a defining role in how the company grows.
