Job description

About this role

You'll act as trusted advisor to our engineering, data and platform leaders, aligning people strategy to roadmap execution and organisational evolution. You'll hold overall accountability for people partnering across the full Technology and Product organisation, with one Senior People Partner reporting to you covering Product and adjacent functions. Your own focus is Engineering: a globally distributed, senior population where genuine fluency in how engineering organisations are built, levelled and retained matters far more than adjacency to them.

Responsibilities

  • Lead org design: workforce planning, levelling and team transformation in a function scaling and reshaping simultaneously
  • Own Engineering and Product end to end: full accountability for people partnering across both, with a Senior People Partner reporting to you
  • Lead and grow a partner: coach, develop and set direction for your direct report, building the partnering standard for the whole technology portfolio
  • Use people analytics to inform action: partner with Centres of Excellence to turn data into decisions on capability, attrition and cost
  • Drive distributed team effectiveness: optimise performance, engagement and team dynamics in a fast-paced, asynchronous, multi-country environment
  • Handle complex employee relations: own the senior and sensitive end of the ER caseload for your portfolio

Qualifications and requirements

  • Senior HR experience partnering with engineering organisations in a scaling technology or fintech business
  • Experience leading or formally coaching HR business partners, with the ability to raise the standard of someone else's work
  • Proven org design depth: you've led real structural change (levelling, spans and layers, function redesign), not just supported it
  • Strategic and operational range: equally comfortable designing long-term org strategy and working at team level
  • Remote and global savvy: experience supporting cross-cultural teams across multiple regions
  • Strong business acumen: able to translate between people priorities and business outcomes at leadership level
  • Comfortable operating with autonomy at C-level
