About this Role and Why We're Hiring

You will be reporting to the COO (cofounder)

It's never been a more exciting time at Stotles. Here's why we're looking for you.

We're anticipating some significant team growth at Stotles, and are looking for a Talent Partner to supercharge this growth while maintaining and championing the culture we're building.

Comp Range: £50,000-£65,000 salary depending on experience, on an 18 month fixed term contract (with potential to extend)

  • Unafraid to say, "I don't know the answer, but I have a few ideas on how we can find out"
  • Able to listen, think logically and strategically to solve complex problems and juggle multiple priorities at once
  • Open to feedback and happy to collaborate. Aristotle said 'the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts' and that's how we work at Stotles
  • Dependable & detail-orientated. You deliver on the commitments you make to the team, from the big picture results to the nuanced details
• Skills
  • Proficiency in ATS software (preferably Ashby) and Google Suite
