The Role:
We're looking for a People Experience Specialist to join us for six months and take ownership of all things People Ops and Experience.
There are two key parts to this role. Firstly, you'll own our systems and data, run the touch-points that matter most to our people - onboarding, probations, performance cycles and be the first point of contact for anything people-related.
Secondly, you'll be the driving force behind bringing our globally distributed team together - planning the events and culture moments that connect us, and acting as our office champion for the London hub.
This is a remote-flexible role based in the UK, but you'll need to be based in or around London and able to travel into the office regularly. You'll be the main point of contact for the UK team who use the hub, and the one planning our in-person events.
It's an initial 6-month fixed-term contract, with real potential to become permanent.
In line with our salary framework, the salary for this role is £37,000 - £43,500, depending on experience.
Where you will spend your time:People Ops & Experience
Make the People experience feel intentional at every stage - from someone's first day onward
Own our People Ops lifecycle end to end - contracts, system changes, onboarding, offboarding, payroll and UK compliance while finding ways to improve how these processes are currently ran
Document and simplify our People processes so they're clear, scalable and easy for anyone to follow
Be the go-to for the team on everyday People questions being responsive, thoughtful, easy to reach
Spot inefficient processes and fix them before they become bigger problems
Keep our People data accurate and put it to work, pulling the reports and insights that show us what's actually working
Culture & Connection
Champion connection across our globally distributed team always thinking about how we bring people together, wherever they are
Design and deliver the events, comms and moments that make Flash Pack feel like Flash Pack, in person and virtually, with a dynamic events calendar behind it
Drive the initiatives that strengthen wellbeing, inclusivity and belonging, partnering with team leads to build a genuinely connected culture
Support managers directly to help their teams connect and get together with practical help, not just ideas
Turn feedback from the team into real action, not just a survey result - translating what people actually tell us into concrete changes to how we work
Be our on-the-ground office champion for the London hub - the person who makes it somewhere people actually want to come
What we'd love to see from you:
You have experience working in or with remote or distributed teams and you understand what good looks like in a remote world with asynchronous ways of working
You're pragmatic and can decide when something needs a proper long-term fix versus a quick, sensible one today
Comfortable taking ownership and figuring things out independently — you've worked in a scaling environment, you know how to bring structure to ambiguity, and you genuinely enjoy that kind of environment
Experience working in a fast-moving startup or scale-up, ideally within a lean People function
Strong operational judgement and real attention to detail, particularly when it comes to data and process accuracy
You understand root causes before jumping to solutions — you diagnose the real problem, not just the symptom
You're curious about AI and actively experimenting with how it can improve the way a people function operates and build better experiences for the team
We’re after the right person and if you don’t quite hit all the criteria, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’d love to chat and see if you could be a great fit for Flash Pack.
