Griffin is looking for a Senior People Partner to architect our next-generation People operations and be integral to the entire people lifecycle. You'll think like a product leader, spotting opportunities and finding new ways to deliver value for the company, its people, and our culture.

What You'll Do

Own the end-to-end people lifecycle: run onboarding, internal moves, offboarding and everything between, creating smooth, culturally aligned experiences.
Drive performance: run performance cycles, facilitate calibration, analyse data, design leadership tools and learning sessions, and give hands-on support.
Design progression models: create clear, simple frameworks that show what great looks like and how to get there.
Partner with Finance on payroll and operations: ensure accurate payroll across all jurisdictions and manage share option schemes via Ledgy.
Design reward structures: building on existing foundations, which could mean designing structures, running pay review cycles, and improving compensation philosophy implementation.
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 processes. Oversee third-party vendors (EoRs, background checks, benefits, etc.).
Work across the Cultivate (People) team: partner closely with the CPO and team, occasionally stepping in to cover other roles (like hiring) during holidays.

What We're Looking For

Experienced in high-growth environments: background gained in similar senior people roles in Fintech, banking, or other high-growth tech companies.
Employment law literate: solid UK employment law foundation, plus practical, hands-on experience managing EoRs, overseas arrangements and the associated complexities.
Regulatory fluency: comfortable navigating the practical application of frameworks like SM&CR and the PRA remuneration code.
A trusted advisor: people turn to you for practical advice. You ask great questions, give honest feedback and coach through complex situations with patience, empathy and pragmatism.
Experience-driven: energised to make work feel smooth, meaningful and enjoyable. Creating seamless, friction-free people operations touch points sparks joy.
Strategic and tactical: you identify root causes and patterns, then design tools, habits and processes that solve systemic challenges.
A builder with bias to action: you think like a product manager by thoughtfully defining problems, gathering insights, shipping Minimum Lovable Products, then iterating.
Creative problem-solver: who sees complexity as an opportunity, not a blocker.

Team & Environment

You'll be part of the 'Cultivate' (People) function and report directly to the CPO.
