People Operations Executive

About us

At Fractional Human Resources we’re revolutionising and reimagining how ambitious businesses scale their teams. We help fast-growth start-ups and scale-ups build their people and talent functions by providing the right level of support, exactly when they need it.

This is not your average People role. You’ll be joining us just 10 months into our journey, which means two things:

1. You’ll help build the business with us.
   
   

2. You need to be super comfortable working in a little bit of structured chaos, change, and helping us figure things out as we go.
   
   

What you’ll be doing

We’re looking for a People Operations Exec to join our small, growing fractional HR business.

You’ll be part of a team of three, working closely with a People Lead and co-founder, which means real exposure, real responsibility, and the chance to learn quickly in a supportive environment.

This is an operations-first role with a strong focus on process, systems, and documentation. It’s ideal for someone early in their People/HR career who enjoys structure, detail, and making things work well behind the scenes.

This role is not about giving HR advice but about enabling great People work through strong execution.

Specifically, you’ll:

• Supporting end-to-end employee lifecycle processes (offers, contracts, changes, leavers using various HRIS systems)

• Managing onboarding and offboarding logistics across multiple client businesses

• Preparing and maintaining People documentation and templates on Google and Notion

• Supporting day-to-day People Ops activity for the People Lead and co-founder

• Building, maintaining, and improving People processes and procedures in Notion

• Turning ways of working into clear, usable SOPs

• Keeping documentation well-structured and up to date

• Spotting gaps or inefficiencies in processes and suggesting improvements

• Supporting the People Lead and co-founder with preparation, follow-ups, and admin

• Acting as a first point of contact for routine People Ops queries

• Managing shared inboxes or task lists

• Escalating anything complex, sensitive, or unclear to senior team members
  
  

What this role does not include

To be clear, this role does not involve:

• Employee relations case management

• Employment law advice

• Leading performance, disciplinary, or grievance processes

• Acting as a standalone HR contact for clients

Flexibility

We trust you to manage your hours in the way that works for both you and our clients.
We’re open to this role working either a 4 or 5 day week. 

About you

Your Experience

• Experience in a People Ops / HR / Operations / Admin role

• Hands-on experience working with an HRIS system (essential)

• Strong experience building or maintaining processes and documentation

• Confidence using Notion to organise information and workflows

• Comfortable working across multiple systems (Notion, Google Workspace, HRIS)

• Excellent attention to detail and organisation

• Able to juggle priorities across multiple clients

• Self-starter who works well in a fully remote environment

• Comfortable asking questions and escalating when needed

Skills that make you shine

• Experience supporting startups, scale-ups, or tech businesses or exposure to a fractional, consultancy, or multi-client environment

• A passion to develop a career in the people space

• Bonus points if you enjoy writing and would like to contribute to blogs, LinkedIn posts, or People-focused content from time to time

Tools you love

• Confident using a range of people systems (HRIS, ATS, etc.).

• A genuine fan of tools like Notion, Slack, Loom and Miro

• Curious and excited about new tooling especially in the AI space.
  
  

This role is not for you if…

• You want a neat, structured career ladder with all the boxes ticked.
  You prefer one employer, one set of policies, and a clear 9–5 routine.

• You need lots of shiny benefits.

• You need a team around you day to day.

• You get frustrated by change, or want every process already documented.

Salary: £30,000 (based on 5 days, £24,000 for a 4 day week)

We value fairness and transparency. That’s why this role comes with a set salary, not a band. It’s intentional, to remove bias and the stress of negotiating (and to avoid the lingering feeling that someone else might have walked away with a better deal).

You’ll have a salary review each year as we grow. There’s no ‘top of band’ which means your compensation can continue to increase as the business scales and your role evolves.

We are a very young business, with big ambitions. We don’t have a list of fancy benefits right now. What we can offer is:

🌍 Fully remote and flexible working  we measure outcomes, not hours.

🧳 Work from anywhere for up to 80 days a year.

🤝 4x annual team meet-ups with our sister business, Fractional Finance.

🗓 Flexibility: 4 or 5 days a week, whatever works best for you.

🚀 Room to grow with us: we see this role evolving into a future Head of People.

🌴 25 days holiday + 8 flexible bank holidays: take the bank hols whenever it suits you.
