People Operations Manager

Hi there We’re Stotles.

Our mission is to unlock the potential of business and government working better, together. We’d love for you to join us on our journey.

About Stotles

The partnership between business and government is vital in making our communities productive & cohesive, but inefficiency and bureaucracy is currently the norm. We are using a modern approach to change this.

Our SaaS platform gives businesses a clear view of opportunities to work with the public sector, and the tools needed to manage them. We are bringing together a massive amount of messy government data to bring clarity and transparency to a space that desperately needs it.

We’ve seen fantastic traction from industry leading customers such as Salesforce, Civica, Vodafone, and many others. We’re also backed by some of the best investors out there (Headline, Acton, Speedinvest, Seedcamp, Form Ventures, FJ Labs, and more!)

What You’ll Do

As People Operations Manager at Stotles, you will be the first port of call for all things HR and People. Your skills, input and experience will be required throughout important People discussions across the team.

You’ll be working across the full spectrum of work on “people operations”, executing on major workflows to ensure that the business continues to run smoothly.

For example:

• Employee Development and Retention

  • Run our performance management cycles

• Training and Development

  • Identify and coordinate high-impact training to supercharge the team

• Culture building

  • Managing team building and other initiatives to support our values and our culture (eg. everything from team building exercises to socials)

• Payroll

  • Working with our accounting team and managing the HRIS to ensure pay-day is seamless for the team

• Compensation & benefits management

  • Benchmarking and evolving our compensation and benefits to ensure a merit-based and fair reward structure is supporting our team (we use a variety of tools and data sources to do this!)

• Employee relations and ethics

  • Our eNPS is world class, but to maintain that we expect you to continuously and systematically gather feedback on how the team is feeling to drive constant evolution and improvement

  • Case management: Things happen and with support from the wider People function, you will be the point-person to manage them fairly, objectively, and empathetically.

• HRIS management

  • Owning our “source of truth” of people data (we use Humaans)

Our style of work is outcome-focused: we do not measure time-at-desk. We set clear and realistic objectives, complete them on time, and then enjoy our lives outside of work!

  • You’re not afraid to say, “I don’t know the answer. But I have a few ideas on how we can find out”

  • You are coach-able and low ego. You put learning before pride and are always open to constructive feedback.
