Flux Computing designs and manufactures optical processors to train and run inference on large AI models. Join us to be part of a highly motivated and skilled team that thrives on delivering impact and innovation at speed.

The Role

​​As our Senior People Partner, you will be the strategic people-operations lead for Flux’s growing US presence, supporting our ASICs engineering team in Austin. You’ll work closely with senior leaders—locally and globally— to coach managers, shape people-practices, and ensure that our culture and processes scale thoughtfully as we grow. This is a hands-on role with significant opportunity to shape how we work as we expand. This role is based onsite in our new location in Austin , Texas and is 5-days a week in the office.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with and coach our people managers and leaders.

  • Provide operational and strategic guidance to ensure compliance with US federal and Texas employment law.

  • Act as the primary HR contact for our US team, owning the full employee lifecycle from onboarding to offboarding.

  • Collaborate closely with our UK-based People and Ops teams to ensure consistency and adaptability across regions.

  • Support our short and long-term business goals, including driving people-practices that enable a high-performance culture.

  • Lead on employee relations and People operations.

  • Work cross-functionally on company-wide projects with other teams at Flux, e.g., Operations and Finance teams.

  • Lead by example, demonstrate the Flux values, and be a cultural ambassador.

Skills & Experience

  • Substantial experience (5+ years) in an HR role within a small, fast-paced, high-growth technology company.

  • Demonstrable fluency in US employment law (Texas specifically) ; global experience or UK exposure is a plus.

  • Proven ability to build strong relationships and influence without formal authority across all levels of an organisation.

  • Comfortable working independently and across time zones in a remote-reporting setup.

  • Comfortable operating at pace and managing ambiguity with a pragmatic, solutions-oriented approach.

  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and organisational skills, capable of juggling multiple priorities and tight timelines.

  • Strong analytical mindset, able to leverage both quantitative and qualitative data to guide people-decisions.

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or related field.

Frequent travel is expected between our Austin and London offices.
