VERNE•London, CA

About The Position

As the HRBP, UK and Ireland you will be the right hand to the Chief People Officer, turning strategic people initiatives into operational reality. In this hands-on role, you will manage day-to-day HR operations, lead employee relations, and implement policies that foster a high-performance culture. This is a critical, high-impact role in a small, fast-paced team, requiring exceptional organisational skills, discretion, and the ability to act autonomously to free the CPO to focus on long-term strategy. This role offers a rare opportunity to work directly with an experienced CPO in a fast-paced, high-growth, private-equity-backed business. You’ll gain significant exposure and responsibility early on, with a real chance to accelerate your career by learning directly from a CPO who is passionate about developing talent and building high-performing teams. Unlike an HR Manager role in a large, established organisation, this is a genuinely hands-on position where getting the basics right really matters - and yes, that includes a meaningful amount of operational and administrative work. At the same time, you’ll be involved across the full spectrum of HR, from running core people processes to shaping culture, supporting strategic initiatives, and helping scale the organisation from the ground up.
