Role Summary
Join Aveni as a People & Culture Manager for a 12-month maternity cover, leading HR operations in a dynamic remote-first environment.
About the Organisation
Aveni is redefining how financial institutions use AI. We build real, production-ready agentic systems that reshape how banks, advisers and financial services firms operate, replacing fragmented processes with intelligent, end-to-end workflows.
We’ve been recognised as Fintech of the Year for two consecutive years and awarded Best Specialist Technology Service at the Professional Adviser Awards 2025. Backed by leading investors including Puma Private Equity, and commercially supported by Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide Building Society, we previously completed one of Scotland’s largest Series A rounds.
Since then, we’ve continued to grow rapidly as adoption of AI in financial services accelerates, and we’re scaling our team to meet that demand.

- Scope to strengthen our remote culture and cross-functional collaboration.
- The freedom to bring creativity and AI into our HR processes.
- Exposure to an exciting period of growth and potential investment.
