Required Skills
Data Analysis
Requirements
  • Broad HR generalist experience - must be in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where you’ve worn multiple hats
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a knack for figuring things out as you go - startup life isn’t always tidy!
  • Confidence handling people issues with a calm, fair and pragmatic approach (a working knowledge of UK employment law is a plus, but not essential)
  • Friendly, approachable and people-focused—you’re someone teams naturally turn to for advice and support
  • Willingness to roll up your sleeves—whether that’s running onboarding sessions or drafting policies
  • Self-sufficiency and proactivity—you know how to manage your time, juggle priorities, and keep things moving without hand-holding
  • Experience using HR systems (we use HiBob—great if you’ve used it, but not a dealbreaker)
Responsibilities
  • Act as a trusted advisor to managers on all day-to-day people matters including performance, wellbeing, absence, and employee relations
  • Support the full employee lifecycle—from onboarding and probation through to progression and offboarding
  • Partner with the recruitment and onboarding teams to deliver a smooth, positive experience for every new joiner
  • Collaborate with the Head of People & Talent on key people initiatives, process improvements, and company-wide projects
  • Coach and support managers to lead confidently and in line with our culture and values
  • Help embed and improve key people processes such as performance check-ins, engagement surveys, and recognition programmes
  • Review and refresh our benefits offering to ensure it’s competitive, meaningful, and aligned with what our people value most
  • Provide practical, up-to-date HR advice in line with UK employment law and best practice
  • Use data and feedback to identify trends, solve problems, and continuously improve the employee experience
  • Jump in on people projects as needed - from new policy rollouts to wellbeing initiatives or manager training

Montu operates an Australian health-technology ecosystem for medical cannabis, linking patients, doctors, and pharmacies. Its products include Alternaleaf, a telehealth clinic where patients can get medical cannabis prescriptions online, and Montu Medical, a platform with tools for healthcare professionals to prescribe cannabis; it also handles supply and distribution as a major supplier. Unlike many players, Montu combines patient access, clinician prescribing tools, and an end-to-end supply chain in one platform. Its goal is to improve access to medical cannabis in Australia through an integrated solution, while expanding its supplier role amid regulatory scrutiny.
