About the role
- Partner with leaders and managers – pragmatic advice, no fluff. Coach managers to lead with impact.
- Lead and support our Talent & People Partner. Oversee hiring across all functions – fast, precise, high quality.
- Work closely with the CEO and SLT to drive strategic People priorities: from org design and internal comms to international expansion.
- Own the full employee lifecycle – onboarding to exits – keeping performance and engagement high.
- Protect and grow our high-performance culture – outcomes clear, accountability strong, values lived.
Requirements
- You’ve led People in a startup or scale-up and know what it takes to build structure without slowing things down.
- You love building high-performance teams and you’ve got the scars (and wins) from doing it at pace.
- You’re a true partner to founders and execs, able to challenge, influence and move things forward fast.
- You’ve done international expansion before – and know how to make new markets click, culturally and operationally.
- You’re AI-native – you don’t just tolerate new tools, you grab them to supercharge how we hire, onboard and scale.
- You bring calm in the chaos – pragmatic, decisive, and clear under pressure.
- You’re organised and resilient, but never rigid – you flex as things shift, keeping an eye on both today’s fires and tomorrow’s growth.
- Above all, you bring energy, urgency and ownership – the drive to keep Nory scaling fast without losing focus or culture.
