About the company

Flash Pack

Travel & Tourism

Flash is, first and foremost, a group of passionate consumers who love amazing products from innovative and vibrant D2C brands, both big and small. As consumers, we love it when these brands go above and beyond to provide delightful experiences. But we think this doesn't happen often enough, especially now that we are all increasingly discovering new products via social media, publisher websites, and creators. We see this as a missed opportunity because brands simply don't have the tools to take advantage of this trend! We are building the technology that is optimised for these (and many others) points of discovery. Our checkout is built to be contextual and can therefore be accessed everywhere - via social media ads, SMS, email, QR codes, product packaging and other brand assets. In essence, our checkout makes the physical and digital worlds instantly shoppable and revolutionises the way people shop and interact with their favourite brands. Our business is both B2B and B2C. Our primary customers are innovative direct-to-consumer brands that care about providing the very best customer experience. But our technology will also end up in the hands of consumers that interact with and purchase products from these brands. We have recently secured €500,000 in pre-seed funding from Flash Ventures to help us build the product and recruit the team that can help us realise our vision.

Job description

A note from our of Head of People and Talent: We're thinking about the role CVs should play in our hiring process, and so what better place to test than the People team. I'm really keen to learn more about you as a person, not just what you can do on paper! If you've got something that shows how you actually work rather than what you've just done, please share it! This could be anything, whether it's a video, a project plan, a link to your website – we're open to innovation 👀

That’s why we exist, with a mission to create one million meaningful friendships across the globe, using the power of travel and technology as a platform for connection.

Our business is growing year-on-year and backed by strong investor support. Our culture is down-to-earth, hard-working, and compassionate.

  • An ambitious high growth mid stage start-up with proven product market fit in over 15 global markets. We’re well-capitalised and backed by founders, investors and entrepreneurs who have built multi-billion dollar companies

  • A highly collaborative team of ambitious and innovative people on a mission to create one million meaningful friendships across the globe, using the power of travel and technology as a platform for connection

The Role:

We're looking for a People Experience Specialist to join us for six months and take ownership of all things People Ops and Experience.

There are two key parts to this role. Firstly, you'll own our systems and data, run the touch-points that matter most to our people - onboarding, probations, performance cycles and be the first point of contact for anything people-related.

Secondly, you'll be the driving force behind bringing our globally distributed team together - planning the events and culture moments that connect us, and acting as our office champion for the London hub.

This is a remote-flexible role based in the UK, but you'll need to be based in or around London and able to travel into the office regularly. You'll be the main point of contact for the UK team who use the hub, and the one planning our in-person events.

It's an initial 6-month fixed-term contract, with real potential to become permanent.

In line with our salary framework, the salary for this role is £37,000 - £43,500, depending on experience.

Where you will spend your time:

People Ops & Experience

  • Make the People experience feel intentional at every stage - from someone's first day onward

  • Own our People Ops lifecycle end to end - contracts, system changes, onboarding, offboarding, payroll and UK compliance while finding ways to improve how these processes are currently ran

  • Document and simplify our People processes so they're clear, scalable and easy for anyone to follow

  • Be the go-to for the team on everyday People questions being responsive, thoughtful, easy to reach

  • Spot inefficient processes and fix them before they become bigger problems

  • Keep our People data accurate and put it to work, pulling the reports and insights that show us what's actually working

Culture & Connection

  • Champion connection across our globally distributed team always thinking about how we bring people together, wherever they are

  • Design and deliver the events, comms and moments that make Flash Pack feel like Flash Pack, in person and virtually, with a dynamic events calendar behind it

  • Drive the initiatives that strengthen wellbeing, inclusivity and belonging, partnering with team leads to build a genuinely connected culture

  • Support managers directly to help their teams connect and get together with practical help, not just ideas

  • Turn feedback from the team into real action, not just a survey result - translating what people actually tell us into concrete changes to how we work

  • Be our on-the-ground office champion for the London hub - the person who makes it somewhere people actually want to come

What we'd love to see from you:

  • You have experience working in or with remote or distributed teams and you understand what good looks like in a remote world with asynchronous ways of working

  • You're pragmatic and can decide when something needs a proper long-term fix versus a quick, sensible one today

  • Comfortable taking ownership and figuring things out independently — you've worked in a scaling environment, you know how to bring structure to ambiguity, and you genuinely enjoy that kind of environment

  • Experience working in a fast-moving startup or scale-up, ideally within a lean People function

  • Strong operational judgement and real attention to detail, particularly when it comes to data and process accuracy

  • You understand root causes before jumping to solutions — you diagnose the real problem, not just the symptom

  • You're curious about AI and actively experimenting with how it can improve the way a people function operates and build better experiences for the team

We’re after the right person and if you don’t quite hit all the criteria, we’d still encourage you to apply. We’d love to chat and see if you could be a great fit for Flash Pack.

Logistics 🛠️:

Our interviews take place on Google Meet and usually consist of the following stages:

  • Introductory chat with our talent team to see if there is a match (20 mins)

  • An interview with the hiring manager to hear more about your background and experience and to give you a deep dive into the role (60 mins)

  • A culture and ways of working interview with our founder to see if your ways of working are a match with ours (30 mins)

Some roles may have extra stages, but we will let you know as soon as possible in the process if this is the case.

Diversity and Inclusion

We’re led by a BAME, female CEO and building a diverse and inclusive team is incredibly important to us which is why we are building diversity and inclusion into the company hiring, performance and progression framework.

We see our diversity as a key competitive advantage which is why we are committed to hiring top talent regardless of race, religion, colour, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or status as an individual with a disability.

If you would like to talk to us about these efforts, or have suggestions for how we can do better, we would love to hear from you.
