Senior People + Culture Partner
PerchPeek, United Kingdom

Hello!

Thanks for checking out our job posting for the role of Senior People + Culture Partner at PerchPeek. You’ve already taken a tiny step towards being a part of our team - huzzah! Before we dive in we want to highlight that this is a huge (huge!) role for us as we scale up, so if you’re searching for a position that will bring out the very best in you, read on!

We know that taking your next career step is as exciting as it can be scary. So, with that in mind, we’ve tried to keep our description simple and bull***t free to help you decide if PerchPeek and this role are a good match for you. We’ve tried to avoid using too many clichés but sometimes they sum it up nicely, so you’ll just have to wince and forgive us.

Who are PerchPeek?

Have you ever relocated before? Did you manage to do it worry and stress free (no eye rolling or swearing!)? Or if you haven’t ever relocated, how do you feel about the prospect of figuring it all out on your own? Finding a new home, registering locally, sorting out shipping your stuff, organising utilities, setting up new bank accounts, new mobile sims, getting your pet there safely etc The list of things to think about goes on and on. No matter where in the world you go, relocating is a crappy process that’s always time intensive and stressful. PerchPeek was conceived to change that.

PerchPeek’s mission is to guide people through every stage of their relocation. Our product is a delightful combination of content, tech, customer success amp; partnerships which work together to make moving simpler, faster, more secure and even enjoyable.

We’re at the forefront of changes to the workplace as knowledge workers have greater freedom to relocate than ever before. Over the past 18 months we’ve grown incredibly quickly, launching in 20+ countries, grown from 6 to 100+ people and raised both our Seed and Series A rounds from top US and European VC funds - Albion VC, Episode 1 and Stage 2 Capital. (Normal startup protocol would dictate that we put a rocket emoji in at this point, but we promised minimal cliches so... ).

As the first member of our People amp; Culture team, you’ll get to work with our partners from Unleashed, alongside your manager, the Head of Operations, Hellie, to design and embed ‘better than best practice’ initiatives (and scale them as we grow!), own our touchpoints to our employee’s engagement so that we can identify, prioritise and fix any challenges and give day to day support to our managers and individuals alike.
