Day-to-day, you’ll act as the central point of coordination across the People function—managing governance, driving planning cycles, and producing high-quality reporting and insight to support senior decision-making. You’ll work closely with the Chief People Officer and senior stakeholders, picking up priority initiatives, leading on project delivery, and bringing clarity and structure to complex or fast-moving activity. You’ll also support cross-functional alignment, ensure consistent delivery across multiple workstreams, and drive continuous improvement in how the People function operates.

Excellent attention to detail with the ability to produce high-quality, accurate outputs at pace
Strong analytical and reporting skills, with confidence using data to support decision-making
Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment, prioritising effectively and taking ownership

Essential qualifications for the People Operations Manager:
Demonstrable project management experience or recognised project management qualification (e.g. PRINCE2, Agile, PMP)
Evidence of working with highly sensitive or confidential information in a professional environment

We value difference and we don’t have a fixed idea when it comes to background or education, provided you can show the required level of experience and willingness to learn then we would like to hear from you.

This role is 37 hours per week based at our Farnborough site with a minimum average site attendance of three days per week.
