• Partner with managers to build, shape and scale high performing teams
• Drive performance management, ensuring clarity, accountability, and growth for all employees across Manna
• Coach managers on leadership, feedback, and team effectiveness
• Support the full lifecycle of the employee
• Champion and embed Manna's culture and values across the business
• Support the HR Manager and HR Director in the People Strategy as required

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years' experience in a People Partner / HR Business Partner role
• Proven experience in a startup or scale up environment (essential)
• Strong background in performance management, talent development, and organisational growth
• Demonstrated ability to influence and partner with senior stakeholders
• Experience leading or supporting teams
• High energy, proactive, and comfortable operating at pace and in ambiguity
• Strong problem solving and decision making skills
• Passionate about people focused development, enabling success, and bringing an approachable, growth oriented mindset to everything while juggling operational day to day demands

What You'll Get

• A key role in a high growth, category defining company
• High ownership and autonomy
• A fast paced, ambitious, and supportive environment to support your growth
