About you

Youll have strong experience in a senior HR role with broad experience across all HR disciplines. You’ll ideally have experience in a start-up or scale-up environment, with a track record of building HR as a strategic function within a high-growth environment.

Proven experience of operating as a trusted advisor to senior management and the Executive team is essential, either as a Senior HRBP or HR leadership position. Youll be highly credible, comfortable standing up for something you believe is right, and challenging when you see something that could be better. And you’ll welcome the challenge from your team when they do the same, because we’re all working towards a common goal.

Strong project management skills are critical and experience with Prince 2 beneficial. Youll also have strong change management experience, with a track record of continuous improvement. Youll bring an analytical mindset and a data-driven approach, able to support recommendations with clear business case and evidence.

Youll have previous line management, able to coach and develop direct reports. But while youll be able to operate at a strategic level, youll be equally focused on hands-on delivery.

We want teams that enjoy spending time together. So we’ve built a culture that encourages teams to get to know each other - we run company-wide away days and annual retreats to get us away from the desk. Our in-house chef provides a freshly cooked lunch everyday, giving us the opportunity to catch up over great food (check out whatsjuliecooking for some inspiration!)

Our teams work hard to make JustPark a success, so it’s important to us that they can share in that success. That’s why we offer stock options to every member of the team. We work hard to achieve some ambitious goals with the knowledge we’re building something truly valuable.

We trust that our team has the best interests of our customers at heart, which means we trust you to know what’s needed to get the job done. Whether that’s working the hours that suit you, setting you up for remote working or making sure you have the right kit, we’ll work with you to create the right environment for you to succeed. Plus we know its not all about work! Thats why we also offer benefits like unlimited holiday and enhanced maternity leave.

We’re in this for the long term, and we have big ambitions for the future. To help us get there, we want to grow our own superstars from within. We fund additional training, provide mentoring and work with you to develop a career plan so we can help you get where you want to go, too.
