Operations Manager/Co-ordinator – new LONDON office – this is a career opportunity NOT for someone looking for a 9 – 6, 5 days a week role

Be the force that brings a fast-scaling US tech success story to life in London. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape how a new office runs, feels, and thrives.

As their Operations Coordinator, you’ll be the go-to person, the fixer, the planner, the one who makes things happen. No two days will look the same – one morning you might be overseeing contractors on an office build-out, and that afternoon you’re coordinating events or solving an urgent IT snag to keep the GTM team firing on all cylinders.

If you’re someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds structure where none exists, and isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves, this is for you.

What You’ll Own

Day-to-day office operations – vendor management, supplies, packages, space setup

Managing inventory of furniture/equipment & coordinating office buildouts

AV/IT setup support (partnering with IT to ensure SF-level standards)

Planning department offsites & external candidate/recruitment events

Optional support to senior GTM leaders (light EA/calendar coordination)

Who You Are

Strategic operator + hands-on executor – you think ahead, spot problems early, and act fast

Highly autonomous – no handholding, you own projects end-to-end

Solutions-first mindset – if Wi-Fi is down, you don’t wait… you make it happen

Hospitality-driven eye – you care deeply about creating a 5-star environment and experience

Why This Role Matters

You’ll directly shape the London office experience from day one – your work becomes the blueprint for future global expansion. This isn’t a role where you maintain the machine – you’re helping build it. As said this would suit someone who is really looking for a career move (with equity) at this very exciting, already hugely successful start-up. You will give your all to start with but will reap the rewards further down the line.

The firm is known for its hands-on approach to accelerating growth, strengthening operations, and supporting long-term value creation.

The HR team itself is well staffed by some exceptional people and led by two of my favourite senior HR people, which reflects the value HR is held by the senior partners.

This is one of two Maternity Covers of a similar level, this one starting in March and the other starting in April. If you are interested in both, please do let me know.

The Role

• Provide practical HR advice and coaching to managers and leaders, supporting team development, engagement, and effective people management across Operations.
• Partner with teams to embed talent, learning, and performance initiatives while contributing to organisational change and cross-functional projects that enhance capability and culture.
• Lead performance management cycles and coach managers to give effective feedback and manage performance confidently.
• Use performance insights to drive development and retention while reinforcing a culture of accountability, inclusion, and excellence.
• Lead and manage performance review cycles throughout the year.
• Coach managers to give constructive feedback and handle performance conversations effectively.
• Use performance data to inform development and retention strategies.
• Promote a culture built on accountability, inclusion, and excellence.
• Lead and support HR projects while continuously improving processes to increase efficiency and scalability.
• Monitor external developments that influence HR priorities and provide broad support to senior HR leadership.

The Candidate

• Background in a UK HR generalist, advisory, or business partnering role with solid experience in talent, learning, and performance.
• Candidate must come from a Buy Side background such as Private Equity, Private Credit, Venture Capital, Investment Management or Asset Management. Top Tier Investment Banking might also be considered if they have been hands on.
• Strong knowledge of performance management processes and development frameworks.
• Exceptional relationship-building and coaching abilities, with confidence influencing stakeholders at all levels.
• Well-organised, detail-oriented, and skilled at managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Proactive, collaborative, and commercially aware, with the flexibility to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

This role will be 4 days in the office and 1 day WFH with the office in Knightsbridge

Due to high volume of applications in this troubled job market, I probably won’t be able to reply to everyone who doesn’t meet the job description. If I don’t respond, the probable reason is that your sector experience isn’t as strong as other candidates.
