You’ll report directly into the Head of People and will be able to own and improve the services for our staff and candidates from day 1. You’ll also work closely with an Ops Associate to support wider operational activity across the business.

• Understanding the pros and cons of hybrid working felt by the team and adapting policies and procedures as required.
• Running cultural initiatives and fun, inclusive events / socials that all staff can engage in and which strengthen the Legatics community.
