People Operations Partner

The Role

Masabi is expanding and this role shapes how People Operations supports that journey. You will bring clarity, care and consistency to the employee experience, from onboarding and everyday support through to people programs, systems and the moments that matter most.

You will own the day-to‑day running of People Operations end‑to‑end, from onboarding and employee queries through to core programs, employment and compliance processes, payroll inputs, systems and vendor coordination, helping everything run smoothly and without unnecessary friction.

This role sits at the intersection of strong HR fundamentals and operational thinking. You will be hands‑on, trusted to improve workflows, build better ways of working and reduce manual work using systems, data and automation where it makes sense.

This is a builder role for someone who enjoys spotting what feels unclear, repetitive or overly manual, and turning it into something simpler, more thoughtful and more effective.

The right person will care as much about people as they do about how things run. You will notice where employees or managers experience friction, and take the lead in making things simpler, more human and easier to navigate.

Location

Fully remote for candidates based in the UK.

Responsibilities

• Own the running of People Operations across a globally distributed workforce, from employee queries and lifecycle changes to onboarding, offboarding, contracts, benefits and HR systems.
• Partner with the wider People team to deliver key People programs such as performance reviews, engagement surveys, compensation cycles and probation tracking.
• Build and improve processes, workflows, programs and self‑service experiences so they’re clear, consistent and easy to follow.
• Keep people data accurate and useful, maintaining BambooHR, supporting reporting and giving the team visibility when they need it.
• Keep core People Operations compliant, organised and audit‑ready across systems, training, documentation and employee records.
• Work closely with Finance, IT, People Partners and external providers to keep payroll inputs, onboarding, EOR processes and vendors running smoothly.

About You
