Senior People Partner

Company Overview

Flux is pioneering a new class of AI accelerators called Optical Tensor Processing Units (OTPUs). Our work environment rewards innovation, speed, and bold thinking.

The Role

As our Senior People Partner, you will be the strategic people-operations lead for Flux’s rapidly scaling team. You will work closely with senior leaders across the business, coaching managers, shaping people-practices, and ensuring that our culture and processes support our ambitious growth plans. This role is based in our Kings Cross, London office and is 5-days a week in the office.

Responsibilities

• Partner with and coach our people managers and leaders.
• Provide operational guidance to ensure compliance with UK and US employment law.
• Support our short and long-term business goals, including driving people-practices that enable a high-performance culture.
• Lead on employee relations and People operations.
• Work cross-functionally on company-wide projects with other teams at Flux, e.g., Operations and Finance teams.
• Lead by example, demonstrate the Flux values, and be a cultural ambassador.

Skills & Experience

• Substantial experience (5+ years) in an HR role within a small, fast-paced, high-growth technology company.
• Demonstrable fluency in UK employment legislation and working knowledge of US employment law. 
• Proven ability to build strong relationships and influence without formal authority across all levels of an organisation.
• Comfortable operating at pace and managing ambiguity with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and organisational skills, capable of juggling multiple priorities and tight timelines.
• Strong analytical mindset, able to leverage both quantitative and qualitative data to guide people-decisions.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or related field.

Nice to have:

• Experience in deep tech or hardware-driven environments, especially where talent is scarce and highly specialised.

This is a rare opportunity for someone with the right mix of experience, ambition, and appetite for building. But it’s not for everyone. You will thrive here if you:

• See the strategic advantage that working side-by-side in an office can bring. We’re building fast, and proximity matters.
• Are excited to set aside the playbook for room to experiment and take a step away from default/standard practices to question them. You’re intrigued by unconventional approaches (see location-based policies below) and want to come up with more.
• Use ChatGPT multiple times a day. We’re scaling responsibly, and that means using AI as a starting point, a coach, and a constant amplifier of our work.
• Champion transparency across the business and know that People is no exception. We believe in sharing as much as reasonably possible, internally and early.

Details

• Competitive salary ranging from £81,000 to £102,000, depending on experience
• Generous stock options in a rapidly growing AI company
• Based in our new 5,000 sq. ft. office in the AI hub of Kings Cross, London
• To foster collaboration in our high-growth environment, we require all employees to work from our London HQ and live within a 45-minute commute. We offer an extra £24,000/year incentive for those living within 20 minutes.
• Comprehensive healthcare insurance
• 25 days PTO policy plus bank holidays
• Private access to our in-house 3D printer
