People Partner

🍊Our mission 

We're powering biology's century with radically faster, more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy, but today's infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost, causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments don’t get to patients. We're fundamentally changing that- not just being a "better CRO," but transforming how people think about developing new treatments, so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.

Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021, we've powered 100+ clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital, alongside backing from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.

🍊What's it like to work here?

When you join us, you’ll experience:

• High-Impact, Mission-Driven Work: Lindus Health is disrupting an outdated industry, giving you the chance to directly improve patients’ lives and see tangible results from your work.

• Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We recognise hard work and outcomes over anything else. You’ll take on real responsibility, work across different areas, and actively shape the company’s success.

• Collaborative, No-Ego Culture: Work with smart, driven people in a supportive and informal environment. At Lindus we break down silos, fun is a core value, and creativity is encouraged.

Ready to power biology's century? We'd love to hear from you.

🍊About the role

This is a true People Partner role combining business partnering with hands-on ownership of scalable People Operations.

As our team grows across the UK, US, and EU, we need someone who can work confidently with managers and leaders while also creating the systems and processes that support long-term growth. You’ll be a trusted advisor, helping leaders build high-performing, engaged teams, and you’ll take ownership of improving the overall employee experience.

This is a role focused on building and scaling, not just maintaining what already exists. You won’t simply follow current processes, you'll improve and redesign them. Instead of just solving problems as they come up, you’ll help develop and coach our leaders so those problems happen less often.

You’ll combine business-focused thinking with genuine care for people, using data, sound judgement, and strong relationships to guide decisions and drive positive outcomes.

This role is based in our London office, with an expectation that you’d be with the team in-person 3 days a week.

🍊About you

Experience

• 5+ years in People Ops, HR Generalist, or People Partner roles

• International workforce exposure, ideally UK and US as a minimum

• Proven HRIS ownership; you've built or overhauled a system, not just used one

• Track record of building scalable processes and effectively rolling out company-wide initiatives

Expected Behaviours

Systems-Oriented and Scalable: You think in frameworks, not quick fixes. You naturally document, streamline, and automate processes so they grow with the business instead of creating manual workarounds.

Commercially Fluent: You understand how a high-growth company operates. You can connect people's insights to business outcomes and speak confidently with founders and functional leaders about performance, trade-offs, and results.

Calm, Credible and Measured: Whether handling employee relations issues, organisational change, or rapid hiring, you stay steady and clear-headed. People trust your judgement.

Ownership Without Ego: You step into ambiguity, create structure, and see work through to completion. You hold high standards, give honest feedback respectfully, and challenge constructively when it matters.

Technically Literate: You use tech-enabled solutions to improve efficiencies, ease bottle necks and streamline processes whilst maintaining the human touch where appropriate.

Pragmatic and Decisive: You’re comfortable making sound decisions with imperfect information. You avoid unnecessary process, focus on impact, and balance risk with progress.

Partner First: You don’t see yourself as policy enforcement. You coach managers to build capability, empower them to handle people's challenges confidently, and strengthen leadership over the long term, not create dependency.
