People Partner

at  CreateFuture

CreateFuture is fast becoming the UK’s most recognisable digital consultancy, with years of experience building digital products and services for major organisations whilst putting our people first. We have offices in the centre of Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, and London as well as remote employees located throughout the country.
We are a team of creators - whether that’s code, project plans, go to market strategies, culture initiatives, marketing campaigns, large language models or people policies. And together, with our clients, we create the future. This has seen us collaborate and partner across a multitude of industries and sectors, with the likes of PayPal, adidas, Natwest, FanDuel and Money Saving Expert, to name just a few.
Our reputation as a partner determined to deliver high-quality, robust and thoughtful products has enabled us to scale to over 500 people in the last couple of years, and it is our amazing people - along with the safe, supportive and friendly culture we have built - that makes CreateFuture a great place to work. Don’t just take our word for it though, we have been recognised by Best Workplaces UK multiple years in a row - across a number of categories - and our employee exit rate is astonishingly low.

WHAT WE’LL OFFER YOU:

At CreateFuture, we challenge ourselves to go beyond the obvious and we care deeply about our craft and customers. With us, you’ll have ambitious projects to sink your teeth into and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. You’ll be part of our safe, supportive and friendly culture - that looks after you - and join our team of genuinely great people.

Our benefits include:

• Total 35 days holiday (we have flexible bank holidays)
• Comprehensive private medical insurance
• Enhanced parental and adoption leave
• 1-1 professional financial coaching
• Up to 50% off an electric vehicle

As this is a hybrid role, focussing on Leeds we’re looking for people within a commuting distance of our Leeds office and who are flexible to travel to client sites and CreateFuture regional offices. We are very flexible and trust you to manage your own schedule to balance face-to-face time with clients, colleagues and working from home.
We create and reinforce a culture that rewards employees’ impact, not just activity. We trust our employees to work autonomously and promote ownership across all levels.

ABOUT THE ROLE AND TEAM:

We care about hiring great people so you’ll be working with a team that cares. We support each other with challenges, push each other to develop and grow and celebrate success together.
The People Partner role in our team is a key role in CreateFuture’s expansion as we advance our People function to support and facilitate our company growth through a people lens. As we continue to build and develop our teams, our employee experience and journey at CreateFuture is at the heart of our objectives.
We are focused on growing our team to challenge the norm, bring new ideas, perspectives and expertise. You will be working in a team who really live the CreateFuture’s values of care, collaborate and challenge.
We are looking for our new People Partner to be within commuting distance of our Leeds office for connection with colleagues, as well as being set up to work effectively remotely.
