About PortSwigger:
PortSwigger is a company built around a simple belief: security should empower people, not slow them down. We create world-class tooling that helps security teams and developers uncover and fix real vulnerabilities, the kind that actually matter. Our products are crafted with care, backed by deep research, and shaped by a relentless drive to make the web safer for everyone.
We’re a successful, engineering-led organisation where small squads are empowered to take forward work in a suitable way, high-leverage work. Curiosity fuels us, craftsmanship defines us, and mutual support keeps us growing together. Here, you’ll have real agency, clear direction, and the freedom to push boundaries, supported by thoughtful coaching and a culture that values learning as much as delivery.
The Finance Tribe:
The Finance Tribe exists to provide clarity, control, and confidence in how PortSwigger operates and scales. The team partners closely with the rest of the business to ensure financial integrity, strong governance, and well-designed operational systems that support long-term sustainability. With a focus on accuracy, trust, and thoughtful improvement, the tribe enables Swiggers to move fast without losing control.
What you’ll be doing:
Own and operate day-to-day people operations across the full employee lifecycle.
Support payroll-adjacent processes, ensuring accuracy, data integrity, and alignment with Finance.
Maintain and improve people operations processes to reduce manual effort, increase reliability, and minimise risk.
Manage HR systems and employee data, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance with internal controls.
Produce people and payroll reporting to support business and financial decision-making.
Act as a trusted custodian of sensitive employee and compensation data.
Partner with Finance, Legal, and internal stakeholders to ensure processes are compliant, scalable, and well-managed.

What we’re looking for:
3+ years’ experience in People Ops, HR Ops, or payroll-focused roles, ideally in a scaling environment.
Strong attention to detail, with a focus on accuracy, structure, and operational excellence.
Hands-on experience with HR systems and ownership of operational processes.
Good understanding of payroll processes and the importance of data integrity and controls.
Comfortable working with sensitive and confidential data.
Experience collaborating with Finance and/or Legal teams.
Proactive and organised, with a mindset focused on improving processes and reducing inefficiencies.
