People Business Partner

At Optics11, we're building technology that helps protect critical infrastructure around the world. As we continue our rapid growth, we're investing in building not only world-class technology, but also a world-class organisation.

Our People, Organisation & Culture team plays a key role in creating an environment where people can do their best work, leaders can grow, and the organisation can scale without losing what makes Optics11 unique. As we grow from around 130 to 300 employees over the coming 1,5 years, we're looking for a People Business Partner who will help shape that journey.

The Role:

As Optics11 continues to grow, you'll play a key role in developing our next generation of leaders. You'll partner closely with managers across the organisation, helping them build high-performing teams, strengthen their leadership skills and navigate the people challenges that come with scaling a business.

You'll be a trusted advisor who combines sound judgement, coaching skills and solid employment law knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach. You understand that in a growing company there isn't always a playbook and you're comfortable helping build one.

Working alongside the Chief People Officer and the wider People, Organisation & Culture team, you'll help build an organisation where great people, strong leadership and business performance go hand in hand.

• Help managers build confidence in giving feedback, managing performance and leading change.

• Contribute to leadership development initiatives across the organisation.

Build for scale

• Help develop people practices that are simple, effective and scalable.

• Identify opportunities to improve the way we work.

• Collaborate closely with Recruitment and People Operations to deliver an excellent employee experience.

What we offer:
