People Operations Coordinator

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential AI infrastructure organisation in their search for a People Operations Coordinator based in London. Our client is a fast-growing startup building cutting-edge technology infrastructure, and they need someone who can establish and scale their people operations function from the ground up.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves building systems, automations, and workflows. You'll own the employee lifecycle and the tooling that supports it, with a strong emphasis on making processes run themselves rather than manually managing them. If you get excited about turning repetitive tasks into automated workflows and building scalable systems in a high-growth environment, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Run end-to-end new joiner onboarding, continuously identifying opportunities to automate manual steps and improve efficiency
• Administer employee lifecycle changes including promotions, transfers, and terminations across multiple systems
• Create and maintain process documentation, SOPs, checklists, and playbooks to ensure knowledge is shared and accessible
• Ensure compliance with UK and US labour laws and internal policies across different regions
• Coordinate payroll processing with external providers, handling changes, corrections, and new starters/leavers
• Serve as first point of contact for employee questions on payroll, leave, benefits, and general HR administration
• Design and build automations and workflows across HR systems (HiBob, Ashby, Notion) to eliminate multi-step manual processes
• Maintain and improve employee handbook and HR policies, ensuring compliance with regulatory changes
• Translate employee feedback into actionable improvement initiatives with clear owners and timelines
• Use data from people systems to identify inefficiencies and drive continuous improvement
• Coordinate team socials, offsites, and activities that build connection in a distributed team

What We're Looking For

• Experience working in high-growth, fast-paced environments, ideally with remote teams across multiple geographies
• Background building people operations systems in scaling companies, particularly during periods of rapid growth
• Practical, hands-on approach with comfort building from scratch rather than inheriting established processes
• Strong technical aptitude for building automations, workflows, and integrations across HR technology platforms
• Comfortable working asynchronously across EMEA time zones
• Strong commercial judgement and ability to influence managers and senior leaders through credibility
• Thrives in ambiguous, low-process environments where adaptability matters more than following playbooks
• Bias toward shipping working solutions quickly and iterating, rather than spending excessive time planning
• Genuine enthusiasm for making unglamorous operational tasks disappear through automation
• Knowledge of UK and US employment compliance requirements, or demonstrated ability to build fluency quickly
