What you'll be doing :

Build a solid framework for our people processes so we can scale efficiently across countries.

Own our HRIS (we use Bamboo) and know how to optimise it to save time, automate tasks, and get useful data out.

Take charge of all post-offer admin : background checks, visa sponsorship, contracts, etc making sure new hires have a smooth journey.

Help shape onboarding experiences that minimise the admin required whilst keeping candidate experience high and business risk low.

Lead off-boarding processes that protect the business and leave departing employees with a positive impression.

Enable our finance team to run payroll smoothly for new joiners, leavers, promotions, etc and make sure all data changes are captured and reflected accurately.

Manage the end to end benefits administration process quickly and effectively.

Keep all our systems and records up to date, and create people reports that help the business make smart decisions.

Work with external partners like benefits providers, payroll providers, etc to keep things running smoothly.

Assist our Head of HR by keeping one eye on any legislation changes, etc that are coming in that may impact us and reflect any changes needed in our processes, documentation, etc.

Stay sharp on all things AnyVan — our products, processes, policies, and service standards.

Jump in on any other ad-hoc people operations work that comes up (because there’s always something new in a scale-up!). For example we're growing fast, so there's opportunity to assist our Head of HR by researching employment laws, benefits, and local requirements in new markets.

What you’ll need to succeed

Solid experience in a people operations role in a fast-paced environment.

You'll be used to working in small, highly visible teams with lots of accountability.

Confidence in documenting processes, writing policies, and creating clear process flows.

Strong understand of HR legislation and how to apply in an SME to keep things moving quickly whilst minimising business risk.

Hands-on experience with HR and Payroll systems like Bamboo, Sage, Payfit and you know how to get the most out of them.

A data-driven mindset, with the ability to build reports and use people metrics to inform decisions.

Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple priorities at once.

The ability to deliver quality work at pace.

Strong alignment with our company values.
