Company mission
To transform the creation, manipulation, and presentation of the full spectrum of business diagrams - making diagramming easy, quick, and visually impactful.
Role
Who you are
- Previous experience in a scaleup (100-500 people) is essential, with preference given to applicants that have been part of a zero to one build journey for the people function rather than inheriting and running established processes
- Heaps of intellectual curiosity. You aren't afraid to ask ‘why?’ in any scenario
- You've taken the lead on at least one of the following projects: launching career frameworks, launching performance reviews, pay benchmarking, levelling and calibration of employees, new manager training, revamping of global benefits
- Robust prioritisation and organisation skills. You're probably that person that builds a spreadsheet just for going on holiday
- High levels of empathy and understanding of working with neurodiverse colleagues
- Impeccable verbal and written communication skills
- Coaching, psychometric or organisational development qualifications would be desirable but not essential
- Previous experience managing a small team is desirable but not essential
- Previous experience working with remote international teams would be helpful
What the job involves
- The People Partner role is the first of its kind at Jigsaw, and therefore a blank canvas for someone to come in and design best in class people initiatives
- It also means that the role will continue to evolve as the organisation does, starting off with a very broad remit and specialising as the People team grows
- You goal is to ensure that every employee at Jigsaw is maximising their potential, feels enabled to do their best work and engages actively with the company culture
- You’ll be a coach for managers, many of whom are new to managing people, and will support them on a range of people initiatives to help them design and develop high performing team culture
- That could be anything from transparent pay bands, career levelling frameworks, team onboarding and training plans or resolving ad hoc employee relations issues
- You’ll be deeply involved in understanding how the different teams at Jigsaw operate, what their goals are and how they align to the overall commercial strategy
- You won't be designing people processes based out of a HR best practice book and then expecting teams to adopt them; here you need to co-design hand in hand with your users so they understand why changes are going to improve their team Operating System or help them achieve their goals
- Implementing our new HRIS, HiBob, ensuring that there are appropriate localisations in place for our key hubs like the UK, Spain, USA and new locations. You’ll handle rollout communication to employees and managers, set up the regular reports, design workflows and maintain the highest level of data accuracy
- Ensuring that our global total reward and benefits offerings are fair and equitable, but localisation is considered
- Tailoring leadership development programmes to stretch experienced managers but also ramp up future leaders and onboard brand new managers
- Coaching managers through the design of competency frameworks for each team and rolling out a performance review approach that promotes continuous feedback
- Planning and executing strategic people projects driven by commercial priorities and employee engagement survey feedback
- Drawing insights from data (both qualitative and quantitative) to continuously and proactively improve our people approach. Understanding what the predictors of potential and performance are, and how to identify and nurture these. Learning what drives disengagement and how best to intervene
- Advising on any employee relations, wellbeing and inclusivity topics
- Gradually building and developing a team of your own over time

Our take
In the landscape of business operations, the creation and communication of intricate diagrams pose a significant challenge. Traditional tools often fall short in terms of speed and aesthetics, making it time-consuming to produce visually impactful representations of deals, business flows, corporate structures, and more. Businesses face the need for a solution that not only accelerates the diagramming process but also enhances the visual appeal and clarity of these representations to align with modern standards of communication.
Enter Jigsaw, a solution addressing the shortcomings of traditional diagramming tools. Jigsaw is revamping the creation, manipulation, and presentation of business diagrams, offering an experience characterised by speed, aesthetics, and data accessibility. With the ability to build diagrams up to 40 times faster than conventional products, Jigsaw enables users to design complex graphics, turning them into live presentations or collaboration tools.
Moreover, Jigsaw serves as a centralised hub for all diagram-related information, allowing users to easily track, search, and modify data points associated with their diagrams, providing a solution to the challenges posed by traditional diagramming tools.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Jigsaw
Catherine Alani (Chief Operating Officer)
- We recognise that a diverse team encourages the right conversations and challenges how our products work and who they work for. By creating an inclusive culture where people from different backgrounds and experiences can thrive, we are all better equipped to design and deliver solutions that meet the needs of a wider range of users.
- We want our hiring processes to be fair, transparent and accessible to the widest range of people. We never want people to be put off applying because they don't meet 100% of the listed criteria, and we never want someone to be deterred if they might need us to make a small change to the process so they can showcase their capabilities to the fullest.
- We appreciate that asking for accommodations during the interview process is daunting, and requires vulnerability when you don't know us yet. You do not need to tell us why you are requesting accommodations. Please email your recruiter to discuss and arrange accommodations. For example, this could be anything from audio transcription compatible video conferencing to an interview time that fits around childcare.
