This is a truly exciting opportunity to join a values-led, purpose-driven business that's helping some of the world's most important institutions thrive in the internet era. They've grown by nearly 70% in the past year alone and are now looking for an exceptional senior People leader to shape the future of their People function at a critical point in their journey.
The organisation
This is a digital transformation consultancy working with major public bodies and global institutions across six continents. They combine digital-era culture, technology, and team-building to enable large organisations to deliver better outcomes for citizens, users and customers.
They are values-driven to the core - only working with clients who align with their ethical stance - and their impact is already being felt across governments, global NGOs, and multilateral institutions.
With a growing remote-first team spread across the UK, Africa, and the Americas, they're scaling quickly, with plans to close the year at 100 people.
The role
As People Director, you'll report to the COO and sit on the senior leadership team, leading the People strategy across the organisation globally. You'll be both a strategic advisor and a hands-on driver of key initiatives, including:
* Building a performance management framework that truly distinguishes outstanding contributions
* Leading a strategic reward review, ensuring alignment with the company's values and ambitions
* Shaping and embedding ED&I principles across every aspect of the employee lifecycle
* Creating a full L&D function from the ground up, aligned to business and user needs
* Leading the development and evolution of People operations and policies as the business matures
* Coaching and developing the People team while advising leaders across the business
This is a rare chance to help architect the future of People strategy in a company that is truly global, mission-led, and growing at pace.
About you
You're a visionary HR leader who thrives in scale-up and consultancy environments. You're comfortable with ambiguity, excited by growth, and deeply people-centred in your approach. You'll likely bring:
* Chartered CIPD membership (or equivalent experience)
* Proven senior People leadership in a fast-paced, evolving organisation
* Deep generalist expertise: reward, employee relations, systems, L&D, DEI, performance
* Strong track record of building inclusive cultures and embedding values into strategy
* Experience partnering with exec teams and influencing at board level
* Familiarity with professional services, public sector is highly desirable
* Bonus if you've worked in/with the UK Civil Service or other global public bodies
* Experience in a fast-scaling organisation will also be a great plus
* Experience in international organisations and working with international teams is also highly desirable

In their own words:
"We fundamentally believe transformation is about people. That change comes from building empowered, diverse teams - and that includes our own. We want to be bold about fairness, reward, and inclusion. This role is central to helping us get there."
Role details:
* Part-time role: 50%-60% FTE (can be flexibily spread across the week). Wednesday mornings will be required
* Salary: £130,000-£150,000 (pro rata) plus excellent employee benefits
* Hybrid working: attendance in the central London office will typically be 2 days per week
* Successful candidate will ideally be starting in October 2025, therefore, we will only be considering those with 3 months notice period or less
