Senior People Partner

Senior People Partner 📍 Manchester, UK (Hybrid 4 days WFH) | 💰 £60,000 - £70,000 Street Group is a fast moving B2B SaaS business - grown in Manchester but on a UK wide mission to make moving house as easy as buying a car. We’ve recently raised strategic growth investment, and are scaling fast toward an ambitious growth plan - and we’re looking for a Senior People Partner to ensure we get there. Over the past 6 years, our People team has designed, built, and implemented the people processes that have scaled Street Group from 30 - 230 people. But we know that systems that work at 200 people can break when growth accelerates - and we want to get ahead of that. This is an opportunity for someone who has been through that scaling journey before to have an oversized impact on a small but ambitious People team to become best in class. If you know what can impact culture both positively and negatively as a company grows; have experience building systems that both set people up to do their best work AND that scale alongside the business; and embrace AI and the positive impact it can have on employee experience - we think you might do great work here. Why this role exists now Our People team is lean - and as we mature as a business, there’s limited capacity to ensure we’re constantly innovating and improving the mechanisms that enable people to do their best work. We have ambitious goals to achieve - now is the time to fine-tune our People function to ensure the business hits those goals. The role In 2026, over half of the business told us they don't know what excellence looks like in their role, or how excellence is rewarded. This is the crux of this role; to build the systems, processes and reward that sets people up for success and ensure we reward and retain our best people. Over the next 12-18 months, this will mean you'll be working with our Head of People and People Partner on initiatives that clarify excellence and reward - our internal levels framework, compensation & reward, embedding our excellence standard throughout the business, coaching senior managers and leaders, and building manager capability at scale. Who we're looking for • A Senior People Partner with experience operating at this level: you’ve designed people systems built for growth, coached senior managers and leaders, are curious about how technology and innovation is changing the People landscape, and are constantly looking for more impactful ways to support the business. • A commercial mindset - e.g. you measure your results on impact on business and team performance rather than work shipped. • An AI-native mindset: you treat AI as leverage and are keen to learn from our team, and share what’s been working for you - but understand the nuances of where AI can never replace genuine People Partnering. • The credibility and communication skills to bring busy managers on the journey with you. • Someone who makes the team better on purpose, not by accident: you share what you know and help develop the people around you. Why you might not want to apply We'd rather be honest up front, because this role won’t be for everyone. • If you want to move into people management. This is a senior IC role. You'll coach, share knowledge, and set standards, but you won't have direct reports. If a management title is what you're chasing now or in the imminent future, this isn’t the job for you. • If you haven't been through a similar scaling journey in SaaS businesses before. Our People team is home grown; we're specifically looking for the experience and knowledge that comes from having been there/done that before, and can prevent us from making common mistakes. • If AI feels like a threat rather than a tool.
