People & Culture Coordinator (12M FTC) in London

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.

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.

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.

Help stand up and maintain the HRIS for UKI employees, ensuring data accuracy, system hygiene, and process documentation.

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.

• Exceptional attention to detail, particularly when handling sensitive employee data.
• Ability to follow established processes accurately and flag discrepancies proactively.
