People Partner

As a People Business Partner at Helsing, you will play a hands-on role in delivering the people programmes and partnerships that keep our teams performing and growing. Working closely within a cross-functional People function — spanning People Operations, Talent Acquisition and People Partnering — you will support the day-to-day execution of our performance and talent development frameworks, while building trusted relationships with managers and team members across our London offices and company domains. A defining feature of this role is the ability to network with depth and intention: cultivating relationships across engineering, research, policy and operations teams to stay close to the business, understand what is really happening on the ground, and act as a credible, well-informed partner rather than a distant function. Alongside this, you will actively develop your understanding of Helsing's technology, domain and commercial context — because the most effective people partnering at Helsing is rooted in genuine business acumen, not process alone.

The day-to-day

• Evolve and deliver Helsing's performance framework — including probation reviews, feedback cycles, calibration and promotion processes — ensuring talent development is tightly aligned to business outcomes and consistently applied across the London hub.
• Design and deliver leadership and management development programmes suited to a mission-critical environment, building the capabilities that Helsing's continued growth requires.
• Build scalable playbooks, tools and training that equip managers and individual contributors to grow in line with business needs, reducing reliance on ad hoc support over time.
• Actively cultivate a broad internal network across Helsing's London teams and wider European organisation, developing the relationships and domain fluency needed to anticipate people needs before they become problems.
• Invest continuously in understanding Helsing's business — its technology, its customers, its strategic priorities and its domain — translating that knowledge into people advice grounded in commercial and operational reality.
