Easyship, a global logistics technology company powering eCommerce shipping solutions, is seeking an experienced HR Manager to lead HR operations at its Corby, UK facility. This is a founding-team role reporting to the Head of HR based in California, positioning you as the primary on-site HR leader and operational bridge between local UK workforce needs and global corporate strategy.
You will manage the complete employee lifecycle for the Corby site, including recruitment, onboarding, offboarding, and performance management.

Additional duties include drafting UK-compliant employment contracts and handbooks, managing monthly payroll operations in partnership with UK finance providers, driving performance management and capability processes, and promoting employee engagement and workplace culture.
The role is hybrid: 4 days on-site at the Corby warehouse and 1 day remote. You will be the sole local HR point of contact for staff during UK business hours, requiring exceptional self-reliance and communication skills.
