People & Culture Coordinator in London

Rapha launched in 2004 to redefine cycling apparel. Today progressive design and storytelling has built a global movement.

We love cycling in all its forms, from the city streets to the highest peaks.

And we know its power to transform lives.

Led by innovation, we embody this love through a dedication to the world's greatest sport, by setting a new standard in design and pushing the cutting edge of performance and human craft.

At Rapha, our staff are a group of likeminded people who share a passion for cycling.

We're proud of the culture we've created, and as the company grows, maintaining our values and finding the right people to uphold them are essential to the continued success of the business.

The People & Culture Coordinator will play a key role across the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and on-boarding through to internal communications, employee relations, learning & development and staff benefits.

Reporting into the Senior People & Culture Manager, you'll take ownership of core P&C processes and systems, acting as a trusted point of contact for managers and employees across the business, while ensuring consistent and accurate application of HR policy and process.

Culture is also at the heart of this role.

Beyond day-to-day HR administration, you'll help bring our staff culture to life - coordinating internal activations, rides and events that keep the office connected to the sport and brand we all love.

Whether that's organising our Getting Started in Cycling programme, our company bike rides or an office competition around a Monument or Grand Tour, you'll be someone who enjoys building team spirit as much as you enjoy getting the process right.

THE ROLE

• Manage new starter and leaver administration, ensuring on-boarding and off-boarding processes run smoothly and on time

• Own internal communications and employee engagement initiatives
