Operations & People Associate Full Time NEW

80 Technologies Limited | Chelsea, London | Full-time 

Company Overview:

80 Technologies Limited (80Tech) is the digital infrastructure arm of the global 80 Group – a London-based investment group spanning a quantitative hedge fund, insurance and reinsurance entities, and an insurtech technology platform.

This role sits at the centre of group operations and offers broad exposure to people, finance and business administration.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a resourceful, highly organised graduate to join the team as an Operations & People Associate.

This is a varied, hands-on role supporting core business operations across the group – including HR & recruitment coordination, financial reporting, and office operations. The role is intentionally broad: depending on the successful candidate’s strengths and interests, there is a clear path to develop further into either people operations and HR, or finance operations and business reporting.

You will work closely with the Partner and senior stakeholders and will be expected to take ownership of recurring processes from early on.

Key Responsibilities:

• People & HR: Own day-to-day HR administration – onboarding, contracts, employee records, benefits, leave and offboarding. Support recruitment coordination, including drafting job specs, managing candidate pipelines, scheduling interviews and liaising with external recruiters.
• Finance & Reporting: Maintain weekly invoice trackers, cash flow reports and payment schedules across UK and France entities. Liaise with accountants, payroll providers and banking contacts to ensure invoices, payroll inputs and statutory payments are processed accurately and on time. Prepare concise weekly updates for senior stakeholders.
• Office & Operations: Manage supplier relationships, office supplies, facilities coordination and hotel/travel bookings for the team. Serve as the primary point of contact for the London office.
• Compliance & Admin: Support KYC and due diligence processes, maintain well-organised financial and HR records, and handle confidential information with discretion.

Key Skills & Competencies:

• Organisation: Highly structured and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and meet deadlines reliably.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills; confident engaging with senior stakeholders and external providers.
• Ownership: Proactive and solutions-oriented – comfortable working autonomously in a lean team environment.
• Numeracy: Comfortable working with spreadsheets, trackers and financial data (Excel).
• Discretion: Able to handle sensitive employee, financial and business information with appropriate confidentiality.

Knowledge & Experience:

• Educated to degree level from a strong university.
• Experience in operations, business support, HR administration, finance administration, or a similar role is preferred.
• Organised and reliable, with experience maintaining trackers, documentation and filing systems.
• French language skills are a plus, given regular coordination with Paris-based stakeholders and providers.

Role Highlights:

• Broad exposure: Genuine breadth across operations, HR, finance and compliance from day one.
• Career development: Opportunity to specialise into people operations or finance operations depending on your interests and strengths.
• Senior access: Work directly with the Partner and senior decision-makers in a global investment group.
• Environment: Fast-paced, entrepreneurial team spanning technology, insurance and financial markets.

This is an entry-level to junior role with strong potential to grow into a broader operations, people or finance function within the group.
