Position: Head of People & Culture
Location: Labman HQ, Seamer, North Yorkshire (Stokesley)

This role is office based in Stokesley, North Yorkshire. We do not offer hybrid or homeworking opportunities.
About the Role - Build what comes next at Labman
Labman designs and delivers some of the world's most advanced laboratory automation systems. As AI-driven and autonomous laboratories become the future of research and development, we're perfectly positioned for significant international growth - and we're looking for a senior People leader to help us scale.
This is a Strategic Leadership Team role with real scope. You'll shape how Labman thinks about capability, structure, culture and performance - ensuring people decisions are treated as core business decisions.
This isn't a hands-off or purely strategic role. You'll move between strategy and delivery — defining the frameworks needed to scale a complex, technical business while knowing what needs to change, what can be improved, and what already works.
Central to the role is protecting what makes Labman special. We've built a culture that values passion, curiosity and autonomy - and we need someone who can strengthen it as we grow.
What You’ll Do
- Set and own the People & Culture strategy, defining priorities and ensuring delivery is realistic, funded and aligned with business growth
- Build and deliver core people frameworks including salary banding, job architecture and performance management
- Own the compensation approach, agreeing principles and developing the supporting structure
- Lead implementation of key systems (such as HRIS), ensuring they work in practice within a non-corporate, technically led environment
- Protect and evolve Labman’s culture as the business scales, ensuring it is maintained intentionally
