People Operations Manager

Salience Labs is building next-generation photonic technology to transform connectivity for AI, HPC, and data centre systems. With teams across the UK, Germany, and the US, we are now at a stage where operational rigour in our People function is critical to scaling effectively. This role sits at the core of our People team, reporting into the Head of People and Talent. You will take ownership of the day-to-day running of People Operations, ensuring the business is compliant, structured, and building a consistent, high-performing culture across multiple geographies. The core People infrastructure is in place, but there is still plenty to improve. This role will take full ownership of BAU People Operations, ensuring we are audit-ready and running cleanly, while steadily raising the bar on how our processes, systems, and standards operate as we scale.
