The Company Behind The Role

They specialize in primary market research, helping clients across the life sciences make better decisions through meaningful insights.

With in-house moderation and analysis and a strong emphasis on partnership, they work closely with their clients and their teams to deliver high-impact, detail-oriented work.

What You'll Do

• Own the full recruitment journey across the UK and US - you'll be the person candidates remember for all the right reasons, from first conversation to first day.
• Think beyond the immediate vacancy; you'll be building talent pipelines and thinking ahead so the business is never scrambling to hire.
• Make new starters feel genuinely welcomed - you'll lead inductions that actually excite people about where they've landed, not just tick a compliance box.
• Play a key role in keeping the HR function running smoothly - supporting systems, maintaining accurate records, and making sure the day-to-day doesn't miss a beat.
• Be a trusted point of contact for managers and employees on HR queries - providing practical, helpful answers and knowing when to escalate to the HR Business Partner for guidance.
• Handle the paperwork that matters - contracts, amendments, benefits admin, leaver letters - making sure everything is right first time, every time.
• Help keep payroll and benefits ticking along without a hitch, because getting people paid correctly and on time is non-negotiable.
• Have honest, thoughtful conversations with people as they leave - and use what you learn to make things better for those who stay.
• Bring fresh thinking to how HR gets done - whether that's a process that needs a rethink, a benefit nobody's heard of yet, or an engagement idea that actually lands.

What You'll Bring

• Real-world HR generalist or talent acquisition experience - you've done this before, and you're good at it.
• A genuine love of recruitment and an instinct for matching the right people to the right roles.
• Enough employment law knowledge to give confident, practical advice - not just theoretical awareness.
• Experience working with HR systems and payroll providers, and an appreciation for why accuracy in these areas really matters.
• A calm, considered approach to employee relations - you know how to handle sensitive conversations with care and consistency.
• The kind of organisational skills that mean nothing slips, even on a busy day with competing priorities.
• Communication skills that flex - whether you're reassuring a nervous new hire or presenting to a senior stakeholder.
• A CIPD Level 3 (great if you have it, not a dealbreaker if you don't).
• Bonus points if you've worked in a fast-growing or small to medium business environment and know what it feels like when things move quickly, and everyone has to pull together.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• A culture that genuinely cares - this team fosters a balanced, healthy work environment where people are supported and encouraged to grow.
• Hybrid working allows flexibility to support work-life balance and a people-first culture.
• Summer Fridays.
