Job description

Join a fast-growing autonomous systems company and build the people and operational foundations from the ground up. We’re looking for a hands‑on HR & Operations leader who can design scalable processes, shape company culture, and make growth smooth – not chaotic.

In this role, you'll own the full people lifecycle (hiring, onboarding, performance, engagement) while also driving critical business operations across processes, compliance, tools, and reporting. You’ll work closely with the COO and leadership team to ensure the company runs efficiently, compliantly, and with a strong values‑driven culture.

If you're a builder who thrives in ambiguity, loves creating structure, and enjoys a mix of People (70%) and Ops (30%), this is an opportunity to shape a UK tech startup from day one – with a pathway to senior leadership.

Location: London | Full-time

What we offer:
A chance to architect and lead the people function, drive operational excellence, and grow into Director or C‑suite level. Competitive salary, benefits, and performance incentives.
