    Description

    Role:

    The HR Director will oversee HR and people operations functions within Longview Philanthropy, including hiring, onboarding, payroll, visa administration, and benefits administration.

    They will manage other staff who work on these functions, and serve as an independent, senior member of our operations team.


    Location:
    London (in office) or US (remote)
    Note that remote candidates must be able to regularly work 3 hours overlapping with usual UK hours (9am - 6pm)

    Starting Salary:
    £65,000 - £80,000 and a competitive benefits package.
    You'll be asked to provide your CV and answer questions about your work experience and interest.

    We focus on global challenges that could transform our future for many generations to come, including AI safety and governance, biosecurity, and nuclear weapons policy.

    We currently advise donors worldwide.

    In this role, you'll support the Longview team to effectively deploy over $10M per year to reduce the risk of a major global catastrophe, such as a nuclear war between great powers, an engineered pandemic, or the misuse of advanced artificial intelligence.

    You will ensure that we are compliant with all relevant HR and employment laws.

    You'll play a key role in ensuring that our organisation's culture and personnel policies help us advance our ambitious goals.

    We are an ambitious organisation with a culture of clear communication, commitment to excellence, direct feedback, ownership over our work and a strong focus on outcomes.

    The HR Director will have overall responsibility (either directly or via their direct reports) for several critical areas of our work, including:
    Developing and implementing priorities for how Longview can improve its HR.
    Developing our HR policies and handbooks (UK & US) to ensure they are compliant, clear, and comprehensive.
    Ensuring our policies and benefits are administered compliantly and efficiently
    Training our managers to be aware of critical people management policies, specifically how to handle performance concerns.
    If necessary, implementing Performance Improvement Plans.
    Managing non-standard employment cases such as employing someone in a country we don't operate in or probation extensions.
    Building processes for managing various types of leave, such as parental and sabbatical leave
    Helping staff develop leave and transition plans to manage workloads and responsibilities.
    Understanding and managing employment legal compliance and risk reduction.

    The HR Director will assist them in their professional development towards a senior HR role and mentor them to assume management responsibilities.

    Overseeing many of our day-to-day HR-related activities such as:
    Applying for and managing visas on behalf of staff
    Overseeing UK & US Payroll
    Answering policy and HR-related questions from staff

    Three or more years of experience in HR, especially for nonprofits
    Experience with sensitive HR tasks, such as administering performance improvement plans and writing organizational policies
    Experience managing payroll, especially for an international organization
    Experience with and ability to work independently, with minimal day-to-day supervision, in a senior-level position
    Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple projects with competing deadlines and priorities
    Able to balance compliance, efficiency, and supporting staff in achieving Longview's long term growth
    Commitment to maintaining appropriate levels of confidentiality with personnel information and other sensitive data
    Ability to put work in context: someone who consistently views individual tasks as part of its wider project, keeping in mind the ultimate project purpose and aims
    Experience applying for and managing visas, especially in the US and UK
    Experience with benefits administration, and especially benefit tax compliance
    Familiarity with the concepts of high-impact philanthropy and global catastrophic risks
    Ability to work in person from the Longview London office

    This position is full-time, with a preference for candidates who can work in person from our beautiful East London office office.

    However, we will also consider remote candidates based in the US.
    We may be able to sponsor US and UK work visas for this position.
    25 days' holiday plus bank/ public holidays, 10% employer pension (or 10% 401k contribution for US employees), private healthcare including vision and dental, £5,000 per/year wellbeing budget, professional development budget, equipment budget, and a well-stocked office fridge
    We will pay candidates £50/hr for completing this stage.
    In-person (in London) or remote 1-3-day work trial

    An honorarium will be provided to all candidates who complete a work trial and travel and accommodation costs will be reimbursed.

    We are keen to work with the final candidate(s) to ensure they are able to complete a work trial, and aim to be flexible and accommodating.

    We do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.

    We are happy to make any reasonable accommodations necessary to welcome all to our workplace.
