The Role
We have huge growth ambitions here at Perk, and our commitment to achieve them has never been stronger as we navigate our journey to One Perk. We’re scaling fast across multiple regions, integrating new businesses, and evolving how we deliver for our customers. As we expand our reach, launch new products and enter new markets, we need to stay sharp, scalable and human. That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Senior People Partner to join our team, partnering closely with Senior Leaders across Customer Care and Perk Events teams to embed ‘Best for Perk’ people strategies, which contribute to our high performance culture. This role is for someone who thrives in fast paced, scaling environments and knows how to balance commerciality with dedication to colleague experience in a hyper growth environment.
Reporting to the Head of People Partners, you’ll lead and develop two People Partners across the globe and collaborate across the People Team to ensure alignment, consistency, and impact in everything we do.
If you’ve worked in progressive People teams, have a flexible approach, and know how to apply people strategy to commercial opportunities, we’d love to meet you.
What you’ll do
Be a trusted partner to Customer Care and Support Functions
- Work closely with our Customer Care and Support Function senior leaders to define, deliver, and embed the people strategy within these areas of Perk. With strong business acumen and coaching approach, you’ll bring insight, challenge, and clarity to business decisions, team structures and leadership plans. With huge growth plans comes ambiguity and a need to adapt our approach regularly; you’ll be comfortable navigating unknowns, and bring confidence in others through ambiguity.

Drive high performance at scale

Build the foundations for growth

Champion employee engagement
- Our values are at the heart of everything we do here at Perk. You’ll partner leaders to shape the employee experience across their teams and help us listen carefully, act on feedback and build a culture that people want to be part of.
Lead through change
- With experience in leading change effectively, you’ll partner leaders through fast-paced change with empathy and structure. You’ll ensure that through change and beyond, our colleagues are valued, and stay connected to our mission.
Use data to make better decisions
- Bring a data-driven mindset to everything you do. Use people insights to create and test hypotheses, diagnose challenges or opportunities, track progress and measure impact.
What success looks like
- We build a high-performing, values-led culture that supports growth and drives results. Teams deliver and exceed both business and people success metrics
- Managers and leaders feel equipped to drive performance, engagement and team development. They are confident and deliver against expectations throughout the entire employee lifecycle.
- Our people strategy is embedded into day-to-day business decisions, not separate from them
- People insights such as engagement, churn, absence, and performance remain healthy
- Successful project delivery across the business and People Team
What you’ll bring
- Tenured experience in a People Partner role partnering in fast-growing companies
- Tenured experience working with a customer service or call centre department is a must
- A track record of partnering and influencing senior leaders
- Strong understanding of team design, high performance culture, leadership development and change management
