The position: People Lead (Maternity Cover 12m FTC)

Life at Elvie; Meaningful Work, Exceptional People

We're Elvie. We create smart technology products, new solutions for women’s health issues, and a fair few taboo-busting conversations while we’re at it. Founded by Tania Boler in 2013, we develop extraordinary innovations with a mission to empower women through radical female-first technology.

You’ll be surrounded by people who want to improve everything and everyone around them. People who are driven to solve problems and challenge assumptions to get to something new and extraordinary - which will improve the health and wellbeing of women.

We nurture a culture that is as progressive as our mission. We live by four Elvie Tenets which encourage people to show up in the right way, every day.

  • We bust the norms: we always start with ‘why’. We are problem solvers and unbridled thinkers.
  • We’re straight up: we communicate honestly, clearly and directly. We are transparent with ourselves and others, even when it’s not easy.
  • We’re relentlessly curious: we're not just open-minded towards each other, but also to new ideas. We value building broad, diverse and inclusive teams.
  • We’re united by purpose: just like an Elvie product, we are greater than the sum of our parts. We share one mission and help each other to achieve it.

About the role:

Okay, we’ve waffled long enough. Let’s get to the good bit. You.

As People Lead/People Business Partner, your role sits within the People Team.

Being a People Lead/People Business Partner at Elvie means no two days are likely to be the same. We are a fast-paced business with 200+ people based across London, Bristol, US, and the EU. Our People Team aims to build an empowering and enriching place to work for everyone so that we can continue to grow and deliver our mission in the most fun, inclusive and impactful way possible.

Our work focuses on ensuring we live our values, holding on to the things that made Elvie successful as we grow. We take a progressive and human first approach - we believe traditional HR processes can reinforce the wrong things; our culture is built on trust, autonomy and flexibility so we treat people as adults and build strong collaborative working relationships.

As a People Lead at Elvie, you will partner leaders and managers at a strategic level, helping them consider everything from how they deliver high performance, partnering on organisational design, supporting and developing teams and ways of working, coaching leaders and dealing with any employee relations issues that crop up. You will also be charged with leading on different elements of our People Strategy which focus on building the Elvie spirit, improving the people experience, and ensuring we are building for sustainable growth.
