This role is to ensure we maintain our outstanding candidate experience through the post offer stage until someone's first day, using our automated onboarding journey.

The main areas of support will be: the creation of contracts and employee profiles, improve and automate our new starters journey from point of offer, through onboarding to their first day.

You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved with wider People Operations activities, including helping manage team member and manager queries about our systems and processes. 
 

If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.
