You’ll bring at least two years of relevant HR experience, ideally with exposure to UK employee lifecycle administration or benefits, and be comfortable working with HR systems such as Workday. You’ll report to the People Operations Manager, EMEA, as part of a global People team.

What You’ll Need

• At least two years of relevant HR experience, ideally including UK employee lifecycle administration or benefits.
• Working knowledge of UK employment processes, including right to work and statutory leave, with good judgment about when to elevate.
• Experience with HR systems, preferably Workday, with strong attention to detail and data accuracy.
• Strong organisation, communication, and relationship‑building skills across local and global teams.
