Backed by GV, EQT Ventures, and C Ventures, we are now sold in 40+ markets with millions of users worldwide.

Do you ever wonder what it takes to launch a new mobile phone on a global scale? It's chaos the good kind! Our Global People team is the co-pilot to the business leaders making that magic happen, from the cutting-edge AI and Product ID teams right through to Marketing and Finance. We're a small, mighty, and highly strategic crew, moving at the speed of product roadmaps and go-to-market campaigns. This isn't your average HR role; it's about rolling up your sleeves to tackle massive, global organisational challenges every single day.

• Design and deliver organisation-wide change projects, everything from complex workforce planning and organisational restructures for fast-moving product teams to defining the spans & layers needed for global scale-up.
• Develop and implement high-stakes compensation and incentive schemes directly tied to commercial and product KPIs, ensuring pay governance and market competitiveness globally.
• Act as the trusted counsel and coach to senior executives, providing decisive, pragmatic guidance on complex people issues, crisis response, and high-pressure situations like product launches and corporate shifts.
• Analyse complex HR data and build robust business cases using advanced Excel models to inform senior stakeholder decision-making and report critical people metrics.

What You Can Bring

• 10+ years' significant HR experience with a proven track record in a strategic HR Business Partner or HR Management role, ideally within fast-paced technology or mobile/consumer electronics sector.
• Expert-level command of Organisational Development principles and a verifiable history of successfully delivering large-scale change projects in a rapid product environment.
• Solid experience in Total Rewards, designing commercial-linked compensation and bonus plans, and practical expertise in talent management and leadership development for senior/technical roles.
• Exceptional resilience and ownership, comfortable working autonomously and delivering end-to-end solutions.
• Advanced proficiency in data analysis and financial modelling, particularly with Excel.

Offices and Working Pattern

• London (Kings Cross & Farringdon offices)
• Full-time, in-office role (5 days a week) with flexibility for personal needs.
