Senior HR Business Partner
About The Position
Coder is building out its international People function ahead of the launch of our London entity this summer. This is a foundational hire: you’ll be the first dedicated People Operations presence in the UK, responsible for running the day-to-day employee experience for our London team and employees across our Employer of Record (EOR) relationships globally. You’ll work closely with our US-based HR Manager, who owns the broader People strategy, and our HR Coordinator, who handles domestic admin, but you’ll be the subject matter expert and primary point of contact for anything international. As our London entity matures, this role is expected to grow into the People Lead for the UK and EMEA.
