People Partner (Corporate)

Hello! We're Teya.

Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities.

We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses with a fighting chance against the giants of the high street.

We’re here because we see banks and legacy service providers making things harder for them. We don’t think the best technology or the best service should be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters.

We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.

Become a part of our story.

We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. We offer a chance to create impact in a high-energy and connected culture, while benefiting from continuous learning opportunities, a supportive community which is proud to serve our mission, and comprehensive benefits.

Your Mission
Teya’s Corporate functions sit at the centre of how we operate as a business. We’re looking for a People Partner who can bring structure, clarity, and pace to how these teams hire, grow, and deliver impact.

You’ll partner directly with senior functional leaders and act as the connector between strategic people priorities and hands-on delivery. Alongside your partnering remit, you’ll also support the Head of People Partnering in leading cross-company people programmes that drive operational excellence and organisational alignment from M&A integration and policy evolution to engagement, onboarding, or structural change.

This is a broad and high-visibility role that requires confidence, curiosity, ambition and execution discipline. You’ll play a key part in shaping the systems, programmes, and rhythms that enable our Corporate functions to scale with precision and consistency.

Responsibilities

• Partner with leaders across Finance, Legal, and the OCEO to design teams, plan workforce needs, and strengthen leadership capability.

• Lead people programmes in partnership with the Head of People Partnering such as M&A integration, organisational change, policy refresh, or engagement initiatives, ensuring strong cross-functional coordination.

• Manage complex employee relations and performance matters with sound judgement, fairness, and composure.

• Deliver people cycles (performance, compensation, engagement) end-to-end, ensuring clarity, accountability, and follow-through.

• Use insight and data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement across Corporate functions.

• Partner closely with Centres of Expertise to align reward, talent, and L&D initiatives with business needs.

• Play an active role in building the infrastructure that underpins Teya’s People Machine, ensuring Corporate functions are operating with clarity, consistency, and accountability.

Requirements

• Experienced People Partner within high growth, fast scaling organisations.

• Skilled at managing complex projects or programmes end-to-end, bringing structure and follow-through to multi-stakeholder work.

• Commercially aware and comfortable connecting people topics to business performance and operational effectiveness.

• Known for sound judgement and composure, able to navigate sensitive topics with clarity and balance.

• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and disciplined in execution.

• Proactive, curious, and motivated by improving how things work, not just maintaining what already exists.

• You have a passion for your work; you’re curious, commercially minded, and motivated by building environments where people and performance thrive.

The Perks

• We trust you, so we offer flexible working hours, as long it suits both you and your team;

• Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass giving free access to over 1,500 gyms in the UK, 1-1 therapy, meditation sessions, digital fitness and nutrition apps;

• Our company offers extended and improved maternity and paternity leave choices, giving employees more flexibility and support;

• Cycle-to-Work Scheme;

• Health and Life Insurance;

• Pension Scheme;

• 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Bank Holidays);

• Office snacks every day;

• Friendly, comfortable and informal office environment in Central London.

Teya is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or background can thrive and do their best work. We believe that a diverse team leads to better ideas, stronger outcomes, and a more supportive workplace for all.

If you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process whether for interviews, assessments, or other parts of the application—we encourage you to let us know. We are committed to ensuring that every candidate has a fair and accessible experience with us.
