About FIDO Tech
FIDO Tech is a deep-tech SaaS business with a mission to help solve global water loss through our award-winning AI. FIDO’s market-leading AI is now used around the world to reduce the 30% of world piped water which is lost to leaks and other forms of non-revenue water. With proven deployments across four continents, and growing, we’re scaling our global impact in water security, utility performance, and climate resilience.
The Role
As a fast-growing global business FIDO relies on a thriving, high-performing team culture.
We are looking for an experienced and people-focused HR Manager to support FIDO through its next phase of growth. This is a hands-on, flexible, part-time role ideal for a confident, CIPD-qualified HR professional (or working towards qualification) who wants to make a meaningful impact in a fast-paced, purpose-driven scale-up.
You’ll lead our core people operations – from recruitment and onboarding to policy and process. You’ll also be a trusted partner to the leadership team on cultural and organisational matters. FIDO has a diverse and talented growing team, so you’ll need to ensure our HR systems and compliance foundations are rock solid, including visa sponsorship and payroll admin.
This role is hands-on, flexible, and right at the heart of our mission to create a thriving, high-performing team culture.
What You’ll Do
* Talent & Recruitment: Own and improve our end-to-end hiring and onboarding processes. Manage our internship programme and external recruitment partners to ensure a pipeline of top talent.
* People Support: Be the go-to person for everyday HR matters, coaching and supporting our people to be their best.
* Policy & Compliance: Lead the development and upkeep of all HR documentation, from contracts to handbooks to policies.
* Leadership Partnership: Provide HR input on disciplinary and grievance issues, org change, and help protect and nurture FIDO’s culture.
* Operations & Systems: Fully own HR operational processes, including HiBob (HRIS), SAGE Payroll, and administration of our UK visa sponsorship programme.
* External Engagement: Represent the CEO where appropriate with key partners, investors, or stakeholders.
About You
* You’re a qualified (or working towards) CIPD professional with solid generalist HR experience.
* You thrive in a growing business where you can roll your sleeves up and make things happen.
* You understand the balance between people-first culture and commercial HR.
* You communicate clearly, handle sensitive issues discreetly, and influence with confidence.
* You enjoy being both strategic and operational – able to zoom out and dive in as needed.
Nice to Have
* Experience in a tech, SaaS, or startup/scale-up environment.
* Familiarity with HiBob or similar HR platforms.
* Knowledge of UK visa sponsorship or international hiring.
What We Offer
* A mission with purpose: we fight water loss with AI.
* A direct line to leadership and true strategic influence.
* Competitive compensation, equity options, and a flexible hybrid work model.
* A fast-moving, bold, authentic culture where people matter.
