Senior HR Business Partner
Location: London (2–3 days in office) | Occasional European travel
We’re partnering with a high-growth fintech redefining how people engage with long-term savings.
With £1BN+ under management, strong backing, and profitability on the horizon, the business is entering a critical phase: scaling effectively while maintaining a genuinely strong culture.
This is where you come in.
The Role (What You’ll Actually Be Doing)
This isn’t a traditional, siloed HR role.
As a Senior HR Business Partner, you’ll work closely with senior leadership to support the growth of a multi-country business (UK + Europe), helping to shape a high-performing, engaged organisation.
You’ll act as a trusted partner to leaders while also being hands-on across core People initiatives.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Partnering with senior leaders to drive a high-performance, high-trust culture
- Supporting and delivering core People operations (contracts, policies, payroll inputs, compliance)
- Helping design and embed a clear and fair performance framework
- Coaching managers on expectations, feedback, and accountability
- Managing employee relations cases with confidence and sound judgement
- Supporting cross-border People matters (UK + European entity)
- Bringing structure and clarity while maintaining business agility
This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you’ll balance strategic input with operational delivery.
What They’re Looking For
You might currently be:
- A Senior HR Business Partner in a scaling business
- Or an experienced HRBP ready to step into a broader, more strategic role
Either way, you’re comfortable:
- Influencing and challenging senior stakeholders
- Working autonomously in a fast-paced environment
- Balancing culture, performance, and commercial outcomes
Key experience:
- Strong grounding in UK employment law
- Experience in a scaling environment (tech, fintech, or start-up preferred)
- Exposure to building or improving performance frameworks
- Confident handling employee relations independently
- Experience supporting international teams (Europe ideal)
What Makes This Role Different
- Real influence without the burden of heavy hierarchy
- Direct exposure to leadership and decision-making
- Opportunity to shape how the business scales its people practices
- A company that genuinely cares about culture and performance
What This Role Isn’t
- Not purely operational HR
- Not suited to heavily process-driven, corporate environments
- Not a team management role — this is an individual contributor role with high impact
