United Kingdom onlyKody, a fast-growing Fintech specialising in bringing online payments and better financial services to brick and mortar businesses, is seeking a People Manager to join their dynamic team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing startup where you'll take the initiative to shape our People function. This role is to start in Q3 2024.
We're hiring for a people manager to support employee engagement, events, hiring and HR admin. You'll report directly to the C-Suite. You'll be responsible for ensuring that People ops run smoothly and effectively to deliver maximum value to the organisation as a whole. You'll need to work flexibly and resourcefully to get things done, implementing new tools, systems or processes as appropriate.
This is a generalist role offering the opportunity to work across all aspects of HR, including hiring, onboarding, evaluation, comms, employee engagement, payroll, culture and building out our employee value proposition.
