Job Specification

We’re a 24-person team that helps UK SMEs access the funding they need to succeed. Our culture is collaborative, ambitious, and values-driven. We believe that business growth starts with people—and we want an HR leader who shares that mindset.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Maintain personnel records and HR systems

This is a standalone role where you'll have space to create, lead, and grow the HR function as the business continues to scale.
