Senior People Partner - EMEA
Role Summary
Join Heidi as a Senior People Partner to lead people initiatives across EMEA, influencing organizational design and performance in a growing healthcare AI company.
About the Organisation
You'll join a team focused on real-world impact over imaginary valuations and glossy PR. We live and breathe the challenges of modern health systems, and are laser-focused on exacting the change we'd like to see. We're medicos, engineers, builders, and designers who've felt the moral and practical toll of what non-care feels like. True A-players progress extremely fast here. The nature of the scale-up game is demanding, but we value sustainable performance and mental health. You're trusted to perform, and you set your schedule. We operate on outcomes > inputs, not process theatre. We all take the bins out, metaphorically and literally.
Building what we're building isn't always easy. But we didn't choose easy, we chose to build something that actually matters. We hold ourselves to a higher standard because healthcare demands it. If you join Heidi, you recognise that the deeper question isn't whether AI can solve the global healthcare crisis, but whose hands will shape it. The work is hard, but you will trust and admire the people you work beside, and rest easy knowing you're doing the defining work of your career.

- Coach managers through performance, feedback, accountability and complex employee matters, building their confidence rather than their dependency on you
- Challenge leaders directly and honestly to raise performance, leadership capability and team effectiveness
- Partner on organizational design, workforce planning, team structure and succession as the region scales, spotting capability and talent gaps before they bite
- Bring clear, balanced judgment to performance calibration, talent reviews, promotions and reward decisions, and help leaders stretch and retain our strongest people
