Job Description

Our mission is simple - we want to positively impact the future of the country by using technology to improve society. As a truly purpose-driven organisation, we believe the outcomes we create are more important than the technology we deliver.

We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. At Made Tech, we’re collectively continuing to nurture a culture for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we actively encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us.

As a People Partner you’ll work closely with the Head of People, your peer People Partner and the wider People team. You will play a key part in shaping and delivering our people strategy that serves our people’s needs and is aligned with the company’s strategic goals/priorities.

Our people are our priority, after all we don’t provide products but a professional service.

Our culture mission is to build a nurturing, happy, healthy, safe and inspiring culture for everyone at Made Tech. As a People team, we need to represent and enable the voice of our people in other areas of the business who could easily spend most of their time on market or commercial strategies.

You’ll have an opportunity to really grow with us as we grow. We’re committed to development and you’ll have opportunities to really broaden your knowledge, experience and strategic expertise whilst you’re here.

The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility

First we assess the flexibility options Made Tech provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure Made Tech is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.

We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
