Role
Who you are
- 3–5 years in a Talent Acquisition role, either with experience in People Operations or a strong desire to work within a broader People remit
- You’ll have previously worked in a Series A / B B2B SaaS startup and will have a good, foundational understanding of typical organisational structures and roles
- Proven experience hiring for a broad range of roles across R&D & GTM - ability to learn quickly about a business area, requirements, capability & skills to ensure we find the best people, at pace
- Ideally, you’ll have some experience with people & talent tools or systems—either having used or been an admin for Greenhouse, Otta, LI Recruiter, HiBob (and others)
- Practical knowledge of people operations administration (benefits, leave, onboarding, guides)
- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, scaling startup environment with strong communication, capacity management and prioritisation skills
- Someone who deeply values emotional intelligence & maturity. In every interaction you have, you look to set a positive example but also learn from the person in front of you
- A quick learner, resilient and adaptable—able to pivot and hire into new areas as the business evolves, juggling multiple roles at any given time
- A considered and collaborative partner who takes thoughtful, sustainable approaches to building trust with hiring managers, candidates, and colleagues
- A critical thinker who considers all angles (risks, challenges, opportunities) before driving forward, especially where important decisions are concerned
- A focus on outcomes & impact - able to track the right activities and metrics to ensure hiring and all relevant activity is on track across all roles. Cares about the ultimate impact a hire has on the business, long-term
- Curious, open & proactive - a natural hunger to grow your skills, to connect the organisational dots and constantly look for opportunities to improve yourself and the business
What the job involves
- You’ll be responsible for delivering our hiring efforts, directly shaping the future of our product & engineering capability and commercial growth engine
- The People function is a core part of our company strategy—you’ll have a fantastic opportunity to work alongside the leadership team and Finance to ensure our people and talent foundations scale with us
- This role blends hands-on talent acquisition with light-touch people operations activities, giving you breadth as well as focus - you’ll further your t-shaped skillset
- You’ll help to evolve and nurture a high-trust, high-performing, inclusive environment through the talent you bring in and help to integrate into the business
- Career growth is flexible—this role could develop into a fully-fledged Talent role or a People Business Partner role depending on your aspirations, suitability and what the business will need
- Work alongside our Senior Talent Partner to deliver full-cycle hiring in the UK for roles across Product & Engineering (Engineers, Product Managers, Designers + others), Commercial roles (AEs, SDRs, Marketing SME’s, Customer Success & Support) and Operations (Finance, Security & IT + others)
- NB: For the initial 6+ months, we’d expect this person to be able to work across all junior-mid level roles across the business to gain a broad but deep understanding of how everything fits together. After this period, as we scale, we’d like look to split ownership of business areas between Talent Partners
- Execute on our hiring strategy with a focus on calibre, retainability and technical/behavioural excellence: sourcing passive talent, screening with confidence, supporting the end to end interview process and offer stage with exceptional candidate management whilst acting as a sounding board to Hiring Managers
- Build high-touch candidate experiences aligned with our inclusive, values-led approach whilst keeping up momentum and energy to secure top talent
- Gain a deep understanding of our R&D and GTM engines and business areas, ensuring external talent efforts and internal people considerations align whilst showcasing our employer brand
- Adapt quickly to new areas of hiring as the business scales—we have a lot of new areas of capability to build yet, alongside scaling existing capability. You’ll be able to stretch your experience in terms of what and who you hire for
- Manage people onboarding & off-boarding - from ensuring a smooth transition from talent, to working with IT & Security around joiners, movers & leavers, coordinating all pre-boarding activities, through to keeping Hibob data & employment records updated
- Help to manage people operations administration including benefits enrolment, liaising with Finance around payroll admin and managing HiBob integrations and workflows
- Maintain and improve relevant internal people guides and frameworks in Notion (including leave and policies)
- Contribute to wider people initiatives and projects that improve employee and candidate experience, with opportunities to own smaller pieces of work yourself
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Risk Ledger was founded with the goal to shift the way organisations deal with cybersecurity and information management in the supply chain. Through its platform, Risk Ledger is marking a turning point in the process of discovering, measuring and then mitigating security risks for companies, their clients and their suppliers. Risk Ledger is trying to lower the number of data breaches experienced by companies and consumers as a consequence of supply chain attacks on a global level.
According to research, over 60% of organisations have suffered a data breach originating in the supply chain with fines inevitably following. Mainstream risk assurance methods are no longer be able to effectively detect and mitigate the growing risk associated with more complex and more global supply chains. SMEs are also generally less resilient to security attacks than multinational corporations due to smaller budgets and teams; over 50,000 SMEs in the UK could collapse after a successful cyber attack.
Risk Ledger has helped customers collect supplier data up to 70% faster than before and reduced per-supplier costs by up to 90%. Its challenge now is to provide integrations with different tools and, by doing so, turn Risk Ledger into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution.
