People Advisor - 12-month contract in London

Join a fast-growing HR tech business shaping the future of global mobility. We’re looking for a proactive, people-focused People Advisor to join our growing team in London. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to play a visible role in building a high-performing, people-first culture within an ambitious HR tech business.

You’ll work closely with our Chief People Officer while taking ownership of day-to-day People Operations across the business. From onboarding and employee support to payroll coordination, ER matters, HR systems, and process improvement — you’ll be at the heart of the employee experience.

• Coordinating monthly payroll in partnership with Finance across multiple entities
• Managing benefits administration including enrolments and changes
• Supporting governance and compliance activities across the People function
• Managing purchase orders and approvals through ApprovalMax

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a People/HR role within a fast-paced startup, scaleup, or growing business

• Strong hands‑on experience using HiBob (essential)
• Solid understanding of HR operations, employee relations, and core people processes
• Experience supporting payroll processes alongside Finance
• Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and adapting in a changing environment
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Able to work independently, take ownership, and be self-sufficient
• Interest in or exposure to international HR operations / multi‑country environments

• You take initiative and enjoy being hands‑on
• You bring calm, structure, and organisation to a growing environment
• You build strong relationships and earn trust quickly
• You are practical, solutions‑focused, and adaptable
• You enjoy ownership and being the person people rely on
• You love improving processes while keeping the employee experience front and centre

• Hybrid working within a Central London office (2-3 days per week)
• Opportunity to make a real impact in a growing HR tech business
• Exposure to international people operations across multiple regions
• A collaborative, supportive environment where ideas and initiative are valued
• The chance to grow your career alongside an ambitious global business
