Company mission
To improve recycling efficiency and minimise the environmental impact of waste.
Role
Who you are
- Customer champion: You understand what our team actually needs, you communicate clearly and manage expectations honestly
- Impact: Things are measurably better because you are here: a supplier that used to cause problems now doesn't, people still mention how great an event that you ran was, you iterated a process that used to take a week and now takes an afternoon. You treat outcomes as yours from start to finish, and escalate things that need it rather than hoping no one will notice
- Agility: You know that our needs will change as we grow. You adapt your approach for what we need now, but you’re not precious about your work and when things change, you do too
- Integrity: You hold yourself accountable for what's yours. You’re motivated by the business succeeding and you help to build a business where our amazing team can thrive. When something goes wrong, you own it and ask for support, and we learn and grow as a team
- Curiosity: You’re constantly looking for ways to improve employee experience. When something isn’t working, you find out why and own the fix
- You have at least 3 years in People, HR or employee experience, and you're ready to own the employee experience at a growing company
- You've run People processes across the employee journey, from onboarding and benefits admin to exit interviews, ideally in an HRIS (we use HiBob)
- You've planned or run team events, workshops, retros or gatherings, and you can describe what changed for people as a result
- You've worked in a remote-first or distributed team and have ideas for how people stay connected across teams, locations and time zones
- You've developed or improved a process in a job, a project or a team you led
- You've used feedback and data, such as survey results and retention figures, to decide what to change
What the job involves
- Reporting to: Head of People
- As our People and Culture Manager, you'll shape how around 60 people across the UK and Europe experience Greyparrot, from their first day to their last: how they connect with colleagues beyond their own team, how they feel about the place they work, and how much they want to stay
- When we have in-person events, customer meetings or our annual retreat, you’ll be there to ensure that every moment reflects the standard of excellence we hold ourselves to
- You'll work alongside our Head of People with real ownership and room to make your mark, helping us build a People function that scales with the company
- You help to create an environment where our team can do their best work, wherever they are. You own how we connect as a remote-first team and the foundations of People Ops, so people feel proud of where they work and connected to colleagues beyond their own team
- In a remote-first company, time together has to count. Whether it is an All Hands, a cross-team workshop, a retro, our annual retreat or a monthly lunch in London, people know why they are there, leave feeling closer to colleagues, and see what we agreed turn into action
- Remote-first works when people know each other beyond their own team. Within a month of joining, a new starter knows colleagues across the company. Teams reach for each other to solve problems, and people feel part of one Greyparrot
- From the day someone applies for a role with us to the day they move on, people have an experience they would recommend. New starters feel welcome and get up to speed fast, wherever they join from. People are looked after at the moments that matter, leavers go with a proper farewell, and the basics are right, every time
- People tell us what is working and what isn't, and they see us act on it. Feedback turns into visible change, so the team trusts that speaking up makes a difference and Greyparrot keeps the people who make it great
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Some 60% of the 2 Billion tonnes of solid waste produced globally each year ends up in open dumps and landfill, causing major environmental impact. While global recycling rates are just 14%, a consequence of inefficient recycling systems, rising labour costs, and strict quality requirements imposed on recycled material. Hence Greyparrot is responding to a major opportunity of applying waste recognition software to boost recycling efficiency, reduce impurities and support scalability.
Greyparrot AI helps companies work in a circular economy by highlighting inefficiencies in sorting at waste facilities. The artificial intelligence vision can spot items on a conveyor belt faster and with better accuracy than a human. Their system automatically identifies different types of waste, providing composition information and analytics to help facilities increase recycling rates.
The opportunity for Greyparrot is clear, and the startup’s goal is to become the most accurate and widely used waste recognition software, unlocking the financial value of waste whilst having a measurable impact on the environment.
