Perseus People are a start-up tech recruitment agency, based in Shoreditch, London. Established in 2019, we help our clients across the Nordics build their software development teams. We work with the latest SaaS tech start-ups, having a global impact on the tech sector.

We're looking for an Operations and People Manager to join the leadership team. You’ll work closely with the founder and COO (external consultant), ensuring all business operations run smoothly. This is a great opportunity to learn and sponge from his experience in the recruitment industry.

This is a fast-paced role – you’ll be managing and overseeing numerous different business units daily, with other tasks and problems popping up that need to be solved. We love working in a start-up and hope you do too

A day in the life of our Operations and People Manager:

  • Managing invoices for clients
  • Reviewing and amending our commercial terms for new business
  • Monitoring and sharing KPIs for our consultants PDP meetings
  • Communicating with our suppliers and working with them to save money wherever we can
  • Managing our cash-flow document and working with our COO with forecasting and modeling
  • Working closely with the Director to discuss pain-points and how we can strengthen our operational rhythm
  • Doing quality control checks to pick up on any weaknesses in the team to solve the problems as soon as possible
  • Our COO is an external consultant with a great track record building successful ops teams. You’ll work closely with him to guide the growth of the business and sponge from his knowledge
  • Helping with ideas for our social media posts and helping build brand awareness
  • Planning incentives and international trips
  • Scheduling and writing the agendas for our EOM team meetings, the consultant PDP meetings and weekly back office meetings
  • Managing the office and making sure the plants are watered

Desired experience/skills:

  • 1-4 years’ prior experience handling the operations of a start-up recruitment agency
  • Comfortable writing social media posts and working on personal branding
  • Practical knowledge of budgeting, cashflow regulation and monitoring our profit and loss sheets
  • Trustworthy, process driven and enjoy getting stuck into project-based work
  • Being able to push back and challenge why we do things, instead of just following the status quo
  • Strategically and commercially minded, being able to bring new ideas to the table
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, ideally experience communicating between leadership teams and employees
  • Experience using Xero, Vincere and/or Notion would be a massive bonus
