The role is a single dedicated people partner for a product engineering group, coaching its leaders on performance, team health and difficult people situations. It also asks the person to design and build scalable people tools and programmes, starting with a line manager capability programme. A strong candidate brings hands on UK employment law experience, a habit of diagnosing before designing, and comfort working without an existing playbook.
How it fits the AI era
The company sells AI that automates legal diligence and lease analysis, so the engineering teams this role supports are building and changing that product quickly. Much of the people work stays human: coaching leaders, handling complex employee relations, and judging how to recognise strong performers and address weak ones. AI can speed up routine people admin and reporting, but the trust and judgement calls remain with the partner.
How it builds AI experience
Working here gives close exposure to how an AI legal platform is built and sold, and to the pace of a growing company after a recent funding round. A candidate can build relevant knowledge by learning how AI tools change engineering team structures and skills, and by trying people analytics or automation tools in current work. Curiosity about AI and finding smarter ways to work are stated as things the company values.
Worth showing
- People partnering with engineering teams
- UK employment law end to end
- Complex employee relations cases
- Comfort with ambiguity and building
