Senior People & Culture Co-ordinator - Music SME
London
Up to £40,000 per annum
Permanent
Are you an organised People Coordinator looking for a role where you can take ownership of your work?   We're working with a global business within the music and entertainment space that is looking to add a People Coordinator to its growing team.   With a small, international workforce and a collaborative, remote-first culture, this is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a close-knit environment where no two days are quite the same.   This role will sit at the heart of the day-to-day People function, supporting across the full employee lifecycle. You'll be the go-to person for People administration, helping with everything from onboarding and offboarding to HR systems, benefits, payroll coordination and maintaining accurate employee records.   You'll also have the opportunity to get involved in a range of wider People projects. The business is currently reviewing and refreshing a number of its policies and processes, including its employee handbook and benefits offering, so there is plenty of scope to get involved in projects beyond the usual administration.   The team is currently going through a period of change, so this role would suit someone who is confident in their own abilities, comfortable working with autonomy with an agile approach to their day to day. You'll have a People Lead to report into, but will need to be someone who can confidently take ownership of your remit and keep things moving.   We're looking for someone with at least two years' experience in a HR coordination role, ideally within a start up or SME environment. You'll have experience supporting across the employee lifecycle, be confident coordinating payroll information and have strong attention to detail. Experience with HR systems such as HiBob would be ideal, as would strong Excel skills. Most importantly, you'll be organised, proactive and comfortable working with a range of stakeholders. An interest in music or the wider entertainment industry would be a definite bonus.   The company operates an employee-led hybrid work pattern with an office in Central London and an expectation that you'll ideally spend at least 2 days per week in the office.   If you're looking for a varied People Coordinator role, please apply now! Handle actively welcomes applicants from under-represented backgrounds - we pride ourselves on attracting the best talent for every opportunity through a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
