People Lead, UKNew

The opportunity

AI needs a new infrastructure layer. We're building it at Modal.

What you'll do

  • Own core people operations for the London team: onboarding, offboarding, payroll coordination, and benefits administration so every experience is smooth and nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Be the first, trusted point of contact for London employees on questions: about policies, benefits, pay, and people matters, handling sensitive topics with clarity, discretion, and pragmatism.

  • Support managers on the ground: help them set their teams up well, spot early performance or people issues, and know when to loop in the broader People team.

  • Keep our people data clean and current in our systems (departments, titles,: managers) as we stand up a single global source of truth, and help operationalize the new HRIS locally.

  • Make sure our UK benefits are competitive and in line with the local market,: and that time-off and policy messaging is clear and consistent for the London team.

  • Own the people side of building out Modal’s UK presence: partnering with external vendors and global people operations to keep us compliant with UK employment.

What they're looking for

  • Keep the London office running smoothly day to day (space, supplies, setup): and be a thoughtful steward of a welcoming, functional environment.
  • Own local events, team bonding, and the in-office experience that makes London somewhere people want to be.
  • Coordinate with vendors and building management as needed.
  • Own local recruiting operations for the London office in partnership with our: global Talent team, including interview logistics and candidate experience on the ground.
