Are you ready to make a Seismic change? Join us in leading the shift.

This is an exciting new role in a fast-growing sustainability advisory working to enable businesses to prosper by being a force for good. We are driven by our passion to help to fix our planet and inspire society to change for the better.

What we are looking for

A People Manager to oversee all aspects of human resources practices and processes

About us

At Seismic, we have 2 key goals within the next 5 years:

  1. To be the best employer that you have ever had.

  2. To enable 10,000,000 people join the shift

Along with creating impact through everything we do, connecting and building relationships is a core priority for us. This goes for our team too, which is made up of a strong mix of Strategy, Carbon, Communications & B Corp expertise throughout the UK and Europe.


We love working with our clients. From SMEs to multinational corporations, we are committed to enabling them to prosper by helping them become ever more impactful forces for good.

All that’s missing is you

The role and its responsibilities

This is a new role for Seismic, reporting to and working closely with the COO. It comes at a key point in Seismic’s growth, aiming to support the impact and wellbeing of our most important asset, our People.

The exact role definition will be dependent on the desire, capability and experiences of the right person. Key responsibilities are likely to include:

  • Being the go-to person for all employee-related issues, a trusted advisor for everyone across the company

  • Working with the CEO, COO and Leadership Team to drive impact of culture and vision statement

  • Developing and implementing People / HR strategies and initiatives aligned with the business strategy, culture and values

  • Leading Seismic’s DEI strategy implementation, working alongside the DEI working group

  • Performance and talent management - helping develop frameworks and leading implementation

  • Learning & Development - implementing a sector-leading L&D programme

  • Promoting and driving the company vision, mission, values and high performance habits

  • Working closely with the Talent Acquisition Executive to manage the recruitment and selection process

  • Developing and monitoring overall People / HR strategies, systems, and processes across the company

  • Nurturing a supportive and positive working environment

  • Overseeing and managing the performance and pay review system to support high performance

  • Providing reports and metrics to the Leadership Team

  • Manage the engagement and DEI surveys and analysis and the company’s response to them

  • Ensuring legal compliance throughout human resource management

About you

You believe that humanity and businesses need to make a seismic shift in the right direction and want to apply your People / HR expertise to help make that happen. At the same time you want to work in a friendly, collaborative and empathetic team who are delivering impactful projects for high-profile clients.

To be successful in this role you would need the following attributes:

  • You have proven experience as a People / HR Manager or other HR Executive

  • You have in-depth knowledge of UK employment laws and HR best practices

  • You have gained a Bachelors or Masters degree in Human Resources or related field and/or CIPD level 5 (Associate) or above

  • You have a love of building relationships across all levels of the company

  • You have a strong working knowledge of HR systems and databases, and appreciate how they can facilitate the role

  • You are an excellent active listener with strong negotiation and presentation skills

  • Your written and in-person communication style is clear and concise

  • You are passionate about sustainability and want to work in a company with a clear purpose and vision

  • You are energised by the pace of a mission driven, scale-up culture

  • You are resilient and comfortable giving and receiving feedback

  • You love coaching and developing others

  • You are details oriented but not at the expense of making pragmatic decisions

  • You act with empathy in a ‘human first’ way

  • You are excited about the opportunity to be part of a high performing team, learning and growing with Seismic as we deliver our vision

  • Previous working knowledge of CharlieHR is a bonus

Importantly, you love People / HR work and working with Ops teammates to constantly improve the working environment for the wider team. You are a team player - you like a laugh, but are not afraid to graft. You have plenty to offer, and know you have even more to learn.

You are action oriented, have a keen eye for detail and enjoy juggling multiple projects and priorities and enjoy just the right amount of time pressure to help keep productive and focused. You are a ‘people person’ with a knack for building relationships with a diverse group of people.

You are more excited by the opportunities of working for a young, fast growing, ever evolving, purpose-driven business than for a large corporation.

Location

You will be within commuting distance of our London office, attending the office (Spitalfields) at least twice per week.

Working hours

We believe in flexible working hours to better suit our personal lives while being considerate of each other and our clients. We generally work office hours but trust each other to make fair decisions.

Salary & benefits

  • Salary and benefits are competitive and dependent on skills and experience.

  • Personal Development Plan with budgetary support.

  • 25 days annual leave plus an extra day off for your birthday.

Seismic is an equal opportunities employer

Seismic recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age. We are building a world class team and we know we need a diverse mix of talented people doing their best work.
