The Opportunity

Soar Group is the UK's fastest-growing performance agency group - Hambi Media, For You Advertising, and Soar With Us. We're around 100 people across London and remote, and the lifecycle activity that keeps a group this size running well has become a craft in its own right.

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive HR Coordinator to support the day-to-day operations of the People function. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys creating structure and consistency, and is passionate about delivering an outstanding employee experience.

The HR Coordinator will play a key role in supporting recruitment, onboarding, employee administration, HR compliance, and internal people processes across the business.

  • Coordinate interviews and scheduling across departments
  • Manage candidate communication throughout the hiring process
  • Support job posting creation and management across hiring platforms
  • Maintain recruitment trackers and hiring documentation
  • Assist hiring managers with interview coordination and candidate feedback

  • Support internal HR reporting and people data management
  • Ensure HR systems and trackers remain accurate and up to date
• Employee Support
  • Act as a first point of contact for general HR-related queries
  • Support employee engagement initiatives and internal communications
  • Assist with company events, team activities, and culture initiatives
  • Provide administrative support to the wider People team

Requirements

Must-Have:

• Contracts, references, and onboarding admin are running cleanly with zero slips
• You've built trusted relationships across the group
• You’re proactively identifying stories to evangelise our employer brand

By month 6:

• Lifecycle operations run so well they're invisible - the highest compliment this work can receive
• You've co-launched at least one meaningful culture moment that team members talk about
• You're operationally independent, trusted to run coordination with minimal oversight
• You've identified at least two process improvements that have made the function measurably better
