People Operations

• Own the end-to-end people lifecycle: run onboarding, internal moves, offboarding and everything between. The result being that you create smooth, culturally aligned experiences that improve over time. You bring sound judgement, empathy and steady guidance to sensitive or high-stakes situations.
• Drive performance: run performance cycles, facilitate calibration, analyse data, design leadership tools and learning sessions, and give hands-on support. You coach leaders to tackle people challenges, grow their teams and build high performance.
• Design progression models: create clear, simple frameworks that show what great looks like and how to get there.
• Payroll and operations: partner with Finance to ensure accurate payroll across all jurisdictions and on share option schemes via Ledgy; from onboarding to exercises, and explore how to evolve our equity offering as we scale.
• Designing reward structures: building on the foundations already in place. This could mean designing reward structures, running pay review cycles and improving how our compensation philosophy shows up.
• Keep people data crisp: deliver insights, spot trends, and run culture surveys to inform decisions and surface opportunities.
• Optimise tools and systems: lead on evaluating and implementing tools, using AI and automation to streamline what doesn’t need human touch. Oversee third-party vendors (EoRs, background checks, benefits, etc.) for consistency and alignment.
• Work across Cultivate: partner closely with the CPO and team to keep everything coherent, occasionally stepping in to cover other roles (like hiring) during holidays.
