• Strong experience in handling ER cases and providing HR administrative support.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of effectively engaging with all levels of the organization.
• Ability to prioritise and manage multiple projects in a fast‑paced environment.

Desirable skills

• Familiarity with HiBob, Workable, Pinpoint and other HR systems for employee management, payroll, and recruitment.
• Experience in FinTech or high‑growth startups.

Salary: £55,000.00 and 20% bonus based on performance.
