The Role

As the People Experience Co-ordinator, you'll be working closely with the People Operations (People Ops) Team to ensure Prolific is running smoothly and efficiently. People Ops is at the heart of Prolific and this role will make a huge impact by solving problems, continuously searching for improvements, building experiences, and creating a welcoming culture.

Prolific is a remote-first company, meaning we're remote but have some in-person activities and the option to work from our "hub" in Paddington. As our People Experience Co-ordinator you'll be interacting with everyone at Prolific to better understand their needs and make ongoing improvements to help create a fantastic remote-first experience for all.

Together with our People Ops Team, you will work towards these key goals:

  • Continuously implement improvement initiatives to streamline and advance our operational strategies to ensure we are agile and efficient.
  • Create an exceptional, engaging, and welcoming culture for our employees by working directly with the People Lead.

  • Organising our fortnightly company "all-hands" meetings.
  • Liaising with WeWork to maintain our company hub in London.
  • Maintaining and organising our physical and virtual mail.
  • Responding to all People Ops queries: creating email groups, updating accounts, etc.
  • Managing all our People Ops budgets: team, personal development and home office.
  • Owning all onboarding and off-boarding tasks, from organising equipment and gifts to handling email and other accounts.
  • Implementing and maintaining procedures and administrative systems.
  • Looking after all our People Ops tools and supporting the wider team with any technical difficulties.
  • Owning our ideas board in People Ops.

Areas you'll be supporting:

  • Providing support to the People Ops Team day-to-day.
  • Supporting the People Team where needed with HR tasks.
  • Helping automate People Ops as we scale.
  • Helping create a great remote experience for everyone.
  • Getting involved in projects that help create a better people experience.
  • Liaise with third-parties (e.g. when managing company meet ups and WeWork).

Minimum Requirements:

  • Proven experience as an Office Manager or Administrative Assistant.
  • Have worked previously in a startup environment.
  • Excellent time management skills and ability to multi-task and prioritise work.
  • Attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong organisational and planning skills in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proactive in suggesting ideas and implementing them.

Nice to have:

  • Experience in using tools such as Google Workspace, Lattice, HiBob and Slack.
