About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and people-centric People & Learning Advisor to join our small, global, People& Culture team. This is a generalist role with a strong focus on Learning & Development and Performance Management , ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced SME environment and is excited about helping shape people and development initiatives.

You will lead on the end-to-end performance cycle, design and deliver engaging training sessions and maintain and shape our annual learning planner, own internship and early careers programs, and contribute to the onboarding experience for new hires.

We’re a close-knit and collaborative team where everyone pitches in and supports each other to get the job done so as a generalist, you’ll also provide support across recruitment, people projects, data reporting, and payroll as required.

You will also be a key advocate and role model of our ZILO DNA Character, Craftmanship and Creativity.

We work flexibly, but this role requires 3 days per week attendance at our Canary Wharf office to support face-to-face training, inductions, and team collaboration. We’re building a people-first culture and are looking for someone who brings energy, innovation, and a commitment to helping people thrive.

Does this sound like you? Then we can’t wait to hear from you!
