About Moneybox
At Moneybox, our mission is to give everyone the means to get more out of life. We're guided by our belief that wealth isn't about the money, it's about the means to more - more freedom, opportunities, possibilities, and peace of mind. Moneybox is an award-winning wealth management platform, helping over one and a half million people build wealth throughout their lives, whether they’re saving and investing, buying their first home, or planning for retirement.

About the role

You'll own the day-to-day running of Moneybox's core people processes, from a new joiner's first contract to their final payslip. It's a hands-on role at the centre of the People Team: you'll make sure every employee has a smooth, accurate and compliant experience at each stage of their time with us.

As a regulated business, getting the details right matters. You'll own our SM&CR administration and background screening, keep our people data accurate across our HR systems, and run payroll administration each month.

We also want someone who sees a manual process and asks how it could be automated. You'll use AI and automation tools in your daily work and help us remove repetitive admin so the team can focus on higher-value work.

 

Key responsibilities

    Onboarding
  • Prepare and issue offer letters and employment contracts accurately and on time

  • Coordinate equipment and system access for new joiners with IT and hiring managers

  • Own new joiner communications from offer acceptance through to day one

  • Run background and pre-employment screening checks, making sure they meet our regulatory requirements before start dates

  • Own and deliver the People new joiner session

  • Coordinate the wider onboarding programme, working with teams across the business to keep it relevant and well run

  • Offboarding
  • Process resignations promptly, including acknowledgement letters, notice periods and final pay information

  • Prepare all leaver documentation and make sure leavers are processed accurately in our systems and payroll

  • Coordinate exit surveys and share themes with the People Team

  • Employee lifecycle support
  • Produce lifecycle documentation such as contract variations, reference letters, employment confirmations and promotion letters

  • Process changes to employee terms, working patterns and family leave

  • Be a first point of contact for employee and manager questions on people processes and policies

  • Payroll
  • Own the monthly payroll administration process, preparing accurate inputs for starters, leavers, changes and benefits

  • Work with our payroll provider and Finance to make sure payroll runs accurately and on time

  • Handle payroll queries and keep clear records for audit

  • Systems and data
  • Maintain high data integrity across our people systems, including HiBob, Culture Amp and Zinc

  • Own data quality: run regular audits, fix errors and keep processes documented

  • Help manage system configuration, integrations and improvements

  • Produce people data and reports for the People Team and the business

  • Regulatory and compliance

  • Run the annual Fitness & Propriety (F&P) assessment process, tracking completion and evidence

  • Maintain clear, auditable records of all regulatory people activity and flag risks early

  • Help keep regulatory references, certifications and FCA notifications on track

  • Automation and AI
  • Use AI tools in your daily work to work faster and more accurately

  • Spot manual, repetitive tasks and support proposals to automate or simplify them

  • Help build and improve automated workflows across our people systems

  • Share what works with the team and help others adopt new tools

  • Whilst the core focus of this role will be People Operations, we work as a blended team and recognise the importance of supporting one another. From time to time, this will mean lending a hand outside your day-to-day responsibilities, such as supporting our Office Manager with the setup of our monthly company meetings.

  • Good working knowledge of UK employment law and HR practice

What We Do

At Moneybox, we help you turn your money into something greater. Millions of us want to achieve more with our money. But whether we’re looking to save for a rainy day, grow our money, buy a home, or even build a retirement fund, we leave it at the bottom of our to-do lists because we're not sure how to get started. This isn’t surprising. We aren’t taught about financial planning at school, the wealth industry was built to serve a minority, and it often feels like banks don’t care about helping us achieve outcomes. To top it off, the financial services industry is fragmented and confusing. This means that our money often isn’t working hard enough and our goals are much harder to achieve. So, we made a solution. We've brought saving, investing, home-buying, and retirement services together into one simple app. So people can reach their goals and build wealth with confidence, whatever their starting point. We want to help people build wealth, but our mission goes beyond that. We believe that building wealth isn’t simply about accumulating more money. It’s about going after the life you want and enjoying it to the fullest, today and tomorrow. This is what it means to turn your money into something greater.
