Our Purpose:
We believe that AI's true potential is unlocked only when it's precisely aligned with business objectives and user needs. Our mission is to bridge the gap between technical possibility and business value, creating AI solutions that transform organisations at their core. We're looking for visionaries who can see beyond the technology to the human and business impact it can create.
Role Overview:
We’re looking for a Head of People who can blend strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. Someone who loves building People foundations from scratch, thrives in a fast-moving tech environment, and is excited to shape an AI-native People function that supports a company built on expertise, delivery excellence and constant learning.
You’ll be the go-to partner for our leaders and team, owning everything across the People lifecycle while building scalable, tech-driven processes that make life easier for everyone.
This would suit someone who enjoys autonomy, genuinely cares about the employee experience, and wants to play a hands-on role in how the company grows.

- Be a trusted strategic partner to founders and leaders, providing coaching, data-driven insights and clear recommendations.
- Champion a culture of feedback, learning and delivery excellence.
AI-Native People Operations
- Design and implement People processes that are AI-powered by default, using automation, tools and workflows to increase speed, quality and consistency.
- Build internal frameworks and knowledge hubs that make it easy for consultants to access guidance, templates and best practice.
- Drive experimentation with AI in everyday PeopleOps, from onboarding and performance conversations to ER documentation and workforce planning.
- Ensure our People systems are integrated, efficient and set up for scale.
Talent, Hiring and Onboarding
- Partner with the Talent team to shape hiring plans, build structured hiring processes and support interview capability across the business.
- Own onboarding end-to-end to ensure every new joiner has a clear, high-quality, supportive experience.
- Lead employer brand and early-careers initiatives as we grow.
Performance, Development and Career Frameworks
- Own and evolve our career framework across specialisms, ensuring clarity on expectations, growth and progression.
- Build learning pathways and development programmes tailored to our AI and engineering-focused environment.
People Operations and Compliance

- Own ER matters with a balanced, fair and pragmatic approach.
- Drive People data accuracy and reporting to support decision-making.
Culture, Engagement and Ways of Working
- Champion our culture and ways of working, ensuring they stay strong as we scale.
- Lead initiatives that strengthen connection, collaboration and wellbeing.
- Support leaders to communicate clearly and consistently, especially across client engagements.
What you'll bring:
- Experience in a People Lead or Head of People role within a tech, consultancy or high-growth environment.
- Strong understanding of UK employment law and People operations in small but scaling teams.
- Confidence building structure in ambiguity, with the ability to zoom out strategically and zoom in to execute.
- A practical, low-ego, collaborative style.
- Curiosity and confidence using AI to optimise People processes, with a desire to keep pushing what AI-native PeopleOps can look like.
