About the role

The Role

Few companies at this stage have this much to re-design at once: rapid geographic expansion and starting multiple legal entities put demands on our People Tech function to keep the pace.

As People Tech Manager, you’ll work on the design, implementation, and scaling of the systems, tools, and data infrastructure that power our people operations as we grow.

Reporting to the People Tech Lead, you’ll work hands-on across our HR tech stack while partnering closely with People Enablement, IT, Finance, Legal, and business leaders. Our mission is to ensure our people infrastructure scales with the company, not lagging behind it.

What You'll Do

  • Manage our people technology stack: HRIS, ATS, document management systems, and the cloud-based integrations that connect them.
  • Configure systems for scalability, security, and regulatory compliance, anticipating future requirements before they become blockers.
  • Maintain data accuracy, system reliability, and clear technical documentation, ensuring a single source of truth for our people data.
  • Maintain and evolve integrations that create seamless, reliable data flows between systems.
  • Ensure strong data governance, quality, and integrity across all people systems.
  • Translate complex HR operations and regulatory requirements into scalable, system-driven processes that embed compliance by design while increasing operational velocity.
  • Automate processes such as onboarding, offboarding, provisioning, approval chains, and lifecycle events. Design for self-service and track where things slow down or break.
  • Enable the People team and managers to use systems by designing intuitive, user-centric processes and by designing & conducting training for non-technical users.
  • Deploy and operate AI-enabled tooling to automate high-volume people processes such as ticket triage, document generation, and employee FAQs.
  • Partner with the People function to identify where AI can ease their work, and enable them to adopt the right tools confidently through hands-on guidance, clear guardrails, and ongoing support.

What You Bring

  • You’re a systems-oriented builder and a self-starter: when you encounter a manual process, you instinctively think about how it could be automated, standardised, or eliminated. You believe great people systems should be largely invisible, quietly enabling great work without creating friction.
  • You balance technical execution with long term thinking. You’re comfortable configuring complex HRIS workflows and maintaining integrations, while planning for what the organisation will need at a significantly larger scale.
  • You have 4+ years managing internal or people technology in high-growth environments, ideally at a company that has experienced rapid expansion.
  • You have deep, hands-on experience with modern HRIS platforms and the broader HR technology ecosystem.
  • You have the technical fluency to configure, maintain, and evolve cloud-based integrations and event-driven workflows.
  • You are strong on stakeholder management and the ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences.
  • You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and iterating quickly.
  • Experience with people analytics and dashboarding/reporting is a plus.
  • Experience with building agents/agentic workflows as part of people processes is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with configurations in Hibob and Ashby is a plus.
