As our People Tech Manager, you’ll own the design, implementation, and scaling of our HR systems, tools, and data infrastructure that power our people operations as we grow 3× over the next 10 months. Reporting to and working closely with the People Tech Lead, you’ll work hands-on across our HR tech stack while partnering closely with People Enablement, IT, Finance, Legal, and business leaders. Your mission: ensure our people infrastructure scales ahead of the company, not behind it.

What You’ll Do

System Management & Optimisation

  • Own, manage and improve our people technology stack, including HRIS, ATS, document management systems, and the cloud-based integrations that connect them.
  • Configure systems for scalability, security, and regulatory compliance, proactively anticipating future requirements.
  • Maintain data accuracy, system reliability, and technical documentation to ensure a single source of truth for people data.

Automation & Integration

  • Design and build integrations that create seamless, reliable data flows between systems.
  • Identify manual, repetitive processes across the employee lifecycle and automate them.
  • Build custom solutions where off-the-shelf tools fall short.

Process Design & Enablement

  • Translate complex HR operations and regulatory requirements into scalable, system-driven solutions that embed compliance by design while increasing operational velocity and efficiency.
  • Enable the People Enablement team and managers to use systems confidently and effectively, designing intuitive, user-centric processes that require little to no training—even for non-technical users.
  • Design and document scalable processes across the full employee lifecycle, from hire to retire.

Who You Are You are a systems-oriented builder. When you encounter manual processes, you instinctively think about how they could be automated, standardised, or eliminated. You balance technical execution with long-term thinking. You are comfortable configuring complex HRIS workflows and integrations, preferably code-first solutions (Typescript) while planning for future requirements at a significantly larger scale (1000+ employees and beyond). You approach internal tools with a product mindset. You consider usability, reliability, and adoption across the entire organisation, and you understand when to optimise for robustness versus when to deliver a pragmatic, iterative solution.

What We’re Looking For

  • 2-4+ years of experience managing internal technology in high-growth environments.
  • Deep, hands-on experience with modern HRIS platforms and the broader HR technology ecosystem.
  • Ideally, a strong Typescript foundation to maintain, operate, and evolve cloud-based integrations and event-driven workflows.
  • Strong project management skills, with experience delivering multi-system implementations in fast-paced environments.
  • Experience with people analytics, data governance, and dashboarding.
