People Strategy & Execution: You will translate Numan’s company strategy into a comprehensive people strategy. You will own the full people agenda, including Performance Management, Talent Acquisition, and People Operations.

Talent Acquisition Engine: You will build a best-in-class talent acquisition function. Your focus will be on developing a repeatable playbook to enable a scalable, data-driven hiring model that identifies, sources, and recruits A players. You will deploy technology and automation in operational hiring (clinical prescribers, customer care, etc.) to power a high velocity and high quality funnel.

Operational Excellence & Compliance: You will ensure robust HR infrastructure, systems, and policies are in place. Crucially, you will maintain compliance across UK employment law and relevant healthcare regulations (e.g., CQC/MHRA/GPhC), managing clinician credentialing and safeguarding training in partnership with Clinical Governance.

Performance Culture: You will evolve our performance philosophy to drive high performance while ensuring fairness. This includes owning the framework for goal-setting/OKRs, feedback, calibration, and promotions.

Total Reward: You will design and manage a competitive compensation and benefits strategy that rewards impact and retains top talent. You will also support executive compensation planning, participating in the Board’s RemCo.

Learning & Development: You will build L&D programmes that create clear career pathways and leadership capabilities at all levels.

You will act as the custodian of Numan’s Employee Value Proposition, ensuring we remain a top-tier destination for talent, while maturing our Employee Experience to ensure our daily culture remains high-trust and high-empathy as we grow.

We are looking for a strategic, data-driven people leader who balances empathy with commercial reality. You understand that a great culture is the result of deliberate strategy, not just "perks".

Experience: You have 8-10+ years in progressive People/HR leadership, with significant experience leading the function in a high-growth, product-led, or operationally complex business. Experience in healthcare, regulated sectors, or multi-disciplinary workforces (including clinicians) is a plus.

Scaling Success: You have a track record of building high-performing, inclusive cultures and scaling organisations, ideally having navigated the journey from 500 to 1,000+ employees.

Commercial Acumen: You possess an in-depth understanding of the P&L and an ability to articulate the ROI of people initiatives. You build business cases, not just "HR policies".

Analytical Mindset: You use people analytics to drive decision-making and can present data clearly to support your strategy.

Leadership Style: You have high emotional intelligence and lead with authenticity transparency, and kindness. You are a trusted advisor to the senior leadership team, providing guidance on complex organisational challenges.

Technical Knowledge: You have a strong command of UK employment law and a depth of knowledge across the people toolkit, including org design, ER, and DEI.

Diverse Experience: You may have a traditional People/HR background, or have recently moved into the field.
