Senior People Partner, Technology & Commercial (16 month FTC)

About Wayflyer

Today's small businesses need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours. To date, we've deployed over $6bn to thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan.

You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world. We have offices in Dublin, London, New York, Charlotte, Berlin and Sydney.

The challenge

Wayflyer's technology and commercial teams are scaling fast, and the people decisions that come with that speed can't be an afterthought. We need someone who can partner closely with our leaders, understand the business deeply and translate that understanding into HR strategy that delivers real impact.

What you'll actually do

• Partner directly with technology and commercial leadership to build high-performing teams and align people strategy with business goals.

• Coach managers through the real stuff: performance conversations, team dynamics, tough calls.

• Own talent management end to end: acquisition, development, retention, succession planning.

• Spot training gaps and bring in the right resources to close them.

• Build and run programs that make Wayflyer a place people want to stay.

• Handle employee relations issues with judgment, not just policy.

• Lead people projects, including DEIB work, and use data to back up what you're pushing for.

Who thrives here

You thrive in a dynamic scale-up where flexibility is essential. You’re excited to take our existing policies to the next level, continuously improving systems or building new ones as we grow. Comfortable with ambiguity, you influence senior stakeholders with confidence and clear reasoning

We hire for range

We're looking for someone who's operated as a people partner to technology and/or commercial groups inside a high-growth or scale-up, not a specific number of years. A HR degree/masters or equivalent gets you in the room, but what matters more is a track record of improving processes, and a trajectory that shows you take on more than what's asked.

Location and working policy

📍Dublin or London, hybrid (3 days per week in the office)

The good stuff

25 days off, plus public holidays. Private healthcare, life insurance, and a pension. Equity - because you should own a piece of what you're building. Generous parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers. 60 days a year to work abroad from wherever you want.
