At Much Better Adventures, we exist to make it easier for people to get outside, challenge themselves, and come back changed. We're a fully remote, mission-driven B-Corp, building the global leader in positive impact outdoor adventure travel.

This is not your typical junior HR role, it's a rare opportunity to be part of a mission-led, VC backed, high growth business. You will have direct access to leadership, the opportunity to learn and grow rapidly, and earn high autonomy.

We're looking to build a people experience that matches the adventures we sell: purposeful, well run and genuinely energising. You'll be the go-to partner for our managers and team across the full employee lifecycle, keeping our remote-first culture strong as we grow. It's a hands-on role with real scope to shape how we hire, develop, reward and look after our people.

About the Role / What We Are Looking For

As HR Manager, you'll run day-to-day people operations and act as a trusted advisor to managers and leaders on everything from employee relations to performance and development. You'll own our core HR processes, policies and systems, keeping them compliant, simple and fit for a remote team spread across locations.

You'll lead the planning and delivery of inspiring, adventurous team meet ups to keep the team connected. You’ll also have a direct line to our Leadership Team, supporting them with administrative and organisational tasks such as travel bookings, staff gifts and incentives, team stash, comms and equipment.

Alongside the operational work, you'll help deliver our people plan, including performance cycles, learning and development, salary benchmarking and engagement.
