Head of People

Arondite enables organisations to wield autonomy, data and AI at scale. We equip operators with the foundational software to orchestrate their mix of platforms and capabilities and take mission-critical decisions faster than their adversaries.

We exist to ensure the UK and its allies out-think, out-pace and out-adapt those who seek to threaten our values and way of life. Our technology is designed for deployment in the world’s most austere environments, and is relied upon by the world’s most demanding operators. We deploy alongside them, bringing our technical expertise wherever it is needed.

Arondite aims to bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and with different perspectives; we therefore don’t expect people to have experience across every area of the requirements. Please apply even if you only partially fulfil the following lists.

• CIPD Level 5 (Associate Diploma) or higher
• Senior generalist HR experience, including acting as the senior people lead in a growing business
• Experience in a high-growth startup or scale-up, ideally in tech
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law, and confidence handling ER cases on your own
• Experience designing and running pay and performance processes
• A track record of building people processes where little structure existed

• Experience supporting staff who travel internationally
• Experience leading a People function and maintaining culture in a multi-national company
• CIPD Level 7 or Chartered membership

We believe in working closely with defence customers. As a result, this role is likely to require you to hold a clearance or be willing to undergo UK security vetting to Security Check (SC) or above. This normally requires having continuous residency in the UK for at least 5 years.

We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering-driven culture. We therefore believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and fun place to be, and we try to work from the office where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense for you to work from home and that's OK. You may also need to travel to visit customers, depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person by default.

Generally, our interview process is comprised of the following stages:

1. CV submission with initial questions
2. Introductory Teams call (30 mins)
3. In-person interview (1.5-2 hours)
4. Interviews with Arondite’s Founders (30 mins each)
