At Stint, we’re using AI tools to transform how hospitality businesses operate. We started by building the UK’s largest flexible workforce of hyper-local students available for short 2–3 hour shifts, working with brands like PizzaExpress, Pret a Manger, Gails, and many more. Now, we’re combining that workforce with an AI tool – creating a platform that no competitor can replicate.
In just 10 months, our new AI software has surpassed £1m in ARR and we are on track to multiply that in the next 12 months. We are aggressively capturing the UK market, and international expansion is next - with plans to launch big in the US soon.
We’re looking for a People Lead to own and shape the people experience at Stint. You'll own everything from attracting and hiring great talent, to onboarding, employee experience, people operations and supporting our managers as we continue to grow.
Working closely with our founder and team leads, you'll help build the people foundations that enable Stint to scale successfully. You'll ensure we continue to attract exceptional people, create a great employee experience, and develop the processes, systems and culture needed for our next phase of growth.
This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role. You'll be the primary owner of our People function, balancing recruitment, people operations and employee experience while helping shape how we grow as a business. It's an opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, and wants to have a meaningful influence on both the people and the future direction of a company.
