People & Culture Coordinator (12M FTC)

We are at an exciting inflection point — standing up our own People & Culture infrastructure as an independent organisation. This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role that sits at the heart of that transition. As People & Culture Coordinator for the UKI market, you will work closely with our Global P&C team to build and operationalise our core people systems — including payroll, benefits, and HRIS — ensuring a seamless experience for our employees throughout this change. You will also provide on-the-ground support to our centralised Global Centres of Excellence (COEs) in areas such as Talent Acquisition and Learning & Development. This role is ideal for someone who is detail‑oriented, comfortable working with data, and energised by getting things done. You do not need to have all the answers — you need to be the person who executes them.

Working With Us

This is a part‑time, fixed‑term role of approximately 20 hours per week, with flexibility on how those hours are structured. You will be embedded in the UKI market while working closely with a Global P&C team — giving you exposure to an international people function at a genuinely exciting moment in our company’s story. We are building something new, and we want people who are energised by that — who take pride in the details and understand that great execution is what makes strategy real.

Responsibilities

• Support the setup and launch of UKI payroll operations, working closely with Global P&C and external providers to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Assist in implementing and configuring a new benefits platform for the UKI market, including employee communications and enrolment.

• Act as the day‑to‑day point of contact for UKI employee queries related to payroll, benefits, and HR systems during the transition period.
• Maintain well‑organised records, trackers, and documentation to support audits, reporting, and governance requirements.
• Provide administrative and coordination support to Global COEs including Talent Acquisition (e.g., interview scheduling, offer processing, onboarding logistics) and Learning & Development (e.g., training coordination, attendance tracking, system uploads).
• Prepare and maintain standard reports and data outputs for the P&C team using Excel and/or HRIS reporting tools.
• Support continuous improvement of P&C processes and templates as the organisation evolves.

• Experience in an HR, People, or administrative support role — ideally within a fast‑paced or transitioning environment.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, data formatting, and reporting).
• Experience working with an HRIS platform (e.g., Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, BambooHR, or equivalent).
• Exceptional attention to detail, particularly when handling sensitive employee data.
• Ability to follow established processes accurately and flag discrepancies proactively.
• Clear and professional communicator — comfortable working cross‑functionally and with remote global teams.
• A self‑starter mindset with the ability to manage tasks independently within a part‑time schedule.
• Exposure to payroll processing or benefits administration in the UK or Ireland.
• Experience supporting HR system implementations or migrations.
• Familiarity with talent acquisition or L&D coordination workflows.
