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
