Senior People PartnerCloudscaler | London | People Team | Reports to the Chief People Officer | £55,000–£75,000Someone has to own the People initiative that doesn’t fit neatly into anyone’s week and the case nobody else should be handling.
That someone is you — not as an escalation point, but as the person who runs the day-to-day of this function.
THE MOMENTCloudscaler is 130 people today.
We’ll be 170 by the end of this year, and roughly double again in 2027.
The People function is being built in real time alongside that growth, rather than inherited from someone who left years ago.
You’ll be the first hire into the People team.
For roughly your first year you’ll be the only People professional alongside the CPO, which means running the whole day-to-day of the function: the hardest casework and initiatives, and the operational core that keeps everything moving.
A People Partner is planned to join later in 2027, and at that point the operational administration moves to them.
This is also a role built with room to grow.
As the team expands beyond that second hire, we expect this role to take on day-to-day operational leadership of the People Partner practice, but that isn’t the shape of it on day one.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENTIn most People teams, the senior generalist is just a People Partner with a harder case queue.
Here, the difference is ownership, not just difficulty.
Complex casework: Rather than simply handling harder cases, you’ll own the most complex cases end to end, with no hand back.
People initiatives: Rather than contributing to initiatives someone else drives, you’ll own them from design through to embedding.
Decision-making: Rather than escalating ambiguity upward, you’ll make the sensible call and document your reasoning.
CPO partnership: Rather than acting in a support role to the CPO, you’ll be an operational partner they can confidently delegate to.
To be clear.
