Nottingham, United Kingdom MHR Full time

As a family-owned business our people are central to our success, and following years of organic, consecutive growth, we're looking for people who share our core values of sustainability, trust, collaboration, and innovation to drive us forwards.

Software never stays the same and neither do we. We want our people to be part of a progressive organisation, encouraged to embrace change and new ideas to shape our future development. Your input is vital, which is why we're committed to personalised learning paths for every employee to help you, and us, grow.

Our goal is to make the world of work easier as a leader in the HR, payroll, finance, and integration solutions software and services industry.

You will be instrumental in ensuring seamless, secure internal and external connectivity for 900 employees, while protecting the data and services relied upon by 3.5 million public-facing application users and 1,200 customers who depend on MHR's managed HR, payroll, and financial systems.
