Company mission
To improve the clinical research experience and build a better clinical research organization.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in People Ops, HR Generalist, or People Partner roles
- International workforce exposure, ideally UK and US as a minimum
- Proven HRIS ownership; you've built or overhauled a system, not just used one
- Track record of building scalable processes and effectively rolling out company-wide initiatives
- Systems-Oriented and Scalable: You think in frameworks, not quick fixes. You naturally document, streamline, and automate processes so they grow with the business instead of creating manual workarounds
- Commercially Fluent: You understand how a high-growth company operates. You can connect people's insights to business outcomes and speak confidently with founders and functional leaders about performance, trade-offs, and results
- Calm, Credible and Measured: Whether handling employee relations issues, organisational change, or rapid hiring, you stay steady and clear-headed. People trust your judgement
- Ownership Without Ego: You step into ambiguity, create structure, and see work through to completion. You hold high standards, give honest feedback respectfully, and challenge constructively when it matters
- Technically Literate: You use tech-enabled solutions to improve efficiencies, ease bottle necks and streamline processes whilst maintaining the human touch where appropriate
- Pragmatic and Decisive: You’re comfortable making sound decisions with imperfect information. You avoid unnecessary process, focus on impact, and balance risk with progress
- Partner First: You don’t see yourself as policy enforcement. You coach managers to build capability, empower them to handle people's challenges confidently, and strengthen leadership over the long term, not create dependency

- This is a role focused on building and scaling, not just maintaining what already exists

- You will strengthen and scale our People infrastructure to support continued growth and operational excellence
- Owning and optimising our HRIS processes and connected systems
- Building and maintaining meaningful people dashboards (e.g. attrition, engagement, performance insights) to support data-led decision-making
- Ensuring data accuracy, reporting integrity, and compliance across all operating jurisdictions
- Familiarity with leveraging AI and automations to make process efficiencies across People processes
- You will ensure our people processes remain compliant, scalable, and fit for a multi-jurisdiction organisation
- Maintaining strong working knowledge of UK and US employment law (EU exposure preferred)
- Owning and updating company policies and employee handbooks

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Traditional clinical research companies are often inefficient and rely upon pen and paper, even for the UK COVID-19 vaccine trial, one of the best-funded trials in history. In addition, the cost of conducting clinical trials has skyrocketed over the last decade. This, of course, stifles innovation and means fewer new treatments for patients.
In response to these challenges, Lindus Health was established with the mission to simplify patient participation in research and expedite the development of novel treatments. On a mission to change how trials are conducted in order to provide faster, safer clinical trials on behalf of companies developing new treatments, and lowering the barriers to participation for patients.
Since launching in 2021, Lindus Health has actively connected patients with clinical trials across diverse domains, encompassing areas such as type 2 diabetes, COVID-19 diagnostics, and mental health. Bolstered by several successful funding rounds, the company is poised to facilitate end-to-end clinical trials and research sponsors with high-quality data. Alongside this growth, Lindus is expanding its workforce. This strategic approach underscores its commitment to reshaping the landscape of clinical research for the betterment of patients and the advancement of medical science.
