Senior HR Manager | Tech |c £80K | Hybrid | City of London

Are you ready to build something from the ground up? We're partnering with a growing, international tech business to appoint its first dedicated people leader. This is a unique opportunity to create, shape and embed a modern HR function within a highly successful organisation that is continuing to expand both in the UK and internationally.

This is not a role for someone who wants to inherit a well-established HR department. Instead, you'll have the opportunity to design processes, influence culture, support leaders and build a people agenda that genuinely adds value to the business.

Working closely with senior leadership, you'll be the trusted advisor on all people matters while remaining hands-on enough to manage operational activity when required.

You'll be responsible for:

• Developing and implementing HR policies, processes and frameworks
• Providing expert guidance on UK employment law and employee relations
• Supporting and coaching managers across the business
• Driving workforce planning and organisational development initiatives
• Using people data and insights to support business decisions
• Leading on boarding, performance management and employee life cycle activities
• Creating a positive, engaging and high-performing culture
• Building the foundations for a scalable HR function as the business continues to grow

About You
We're looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach.

• Experience within fintech or technology environments is essential
• Strong generalist HR leadership experience
• Excellent knowledge of UK employment law
• Experience building or improving HR processes and people frameworks
• Confidence influencing senior stakeholders
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Strong interpersonal skills and natural presence
• The ability to balance challenge with approach ability

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys building relationships, thrives in a collaborative culture and isn't afraid to roll up your sleeves when needed.

What's on Offer?

• Opportunity to build and shape a people function from the ground up
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and key business decisions
• Growing international business with ambitious plans
• Hybrid working environment
• Genuine opportunity to make a lasting impact

This role would suit an ambitious HR professional who wants to move beyond maintaining processes and instead create them.
