As People & Culture Lead, you will lead and deliver a (currently) standalone, end-to-end people function for around 85 employees, operating in a hybrid environment across Loughborough and remote teams. You will own day-to-day HR operations and act as the organisation’s main people advisor, ensuring an effective, compliant and engaging people function. 

You will combine hands-on delivery with strategic input - partnering with leaders on people matters, overseeing recruitment and onboarding, leading employee relations work, maintaining strong HR operations, and using systems and data to strengthen decision-making and employee experience. You will also play an important role in helping British Triathlon embed its values, support managers, and build a people function that is trusted, proactive and fit for the future. 

This is a broad and evolving role, and that is an important part of its appeal. It is well suited to someone who enjoys taking ownership, is comfortable working autonomously, and is motivated by the opportunity to shape how people support is delivered in a growing organisation. The role is not purely strategic from day one; it currently includes a meaningful operational and administrative remit, with the expectation that over time this will reduce through admin support and better systems, automation and process design, creating more space for strategic and cultural leadership. 

The successful candidate will bring strong generalist HR experience, sound knowledge of UK employment law, change management, and confidence advising managers on a wide range of people matters. A practical, solutions-focused approach, good judgement, and the ability to build trust across all levels of the organisation will be key to success in the role.
