The Role

We’re supporting a fast-growing international fintech group in their search for a Senior People Operations Partner to join their small but high-impact People team, as they continue to scale and transform.

This role isn’t a back-office function. It’s hands-on, proactive, and embedded in the business. You’ll play a critical role in shaping and delivering People policies across the UK, Spain, Portugal, and supporting US projects. With big changes underway, this is an opportunity to step into a role where you can make an immediate difference and grow with the team.

You’ll directly support senior People leaders, work very closely with the People Partners, and act as a first point of contact for employees. If you thrive in a dynamic, international environment and enjoy balancing structure with ambiguity, this could be the perfect fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Rolling out and refining People policies across Spain, Portugal, the US, and the UK - identifying what’s missing and building as you go.
• Partnering with managers and employees to provide direct support on a wide range of people topics.
• Coordinating projects.
• Supporting new market entry in Portugal, learning as you go, and helping to shape the foundations.
• Contributing to major upcoming initiatives, including launching a new People portal and leveraging AI tools to improve employee and manager experience.
• Acting as a bridge between employees and payroll, ensuring smooth handoffs and accurate processes.
• Using data to track, manage, and present progress, bringing structure, detail, and clarity to everything you deliver.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience in People Operations, with exposure to more than one country (ideally Spain and the UK; Portuguese experience a plus).
• Fluent in English, with excellent communication skills. Spanish is a plus.
• Highly organised and detail-oriented, with strong Excel and project coordination skills.
• Curious and resilient - comfortable working in areas that are still being defined, and not afraid to learn as you go.
• Pragmatic, proactive, and able to balance multiple priorities at once.
• Experience handling sensitive employee relations cases.
• Someone who thrives in a small team where everyone is hands-on, international, and growing together.

What’s on Offer

• The base salary is up to €55,000 plus a bonus structure.
• Exposure to complex international projects and a broad scope of People work.
• A collaborative team doing great work internationally, where you’ll be part of shaping the future.

The Interview Process

1. Initial conversation with a Recruiter.
2. First Interview with the Hiring Manager.
3. Panel interview with team members and stakeholders
4. A small case study to wrap up the process.
