• Plan and run culture initiatives - socials, lunches, team celebrations and wellbeing moments.
• Coordinate onboarding for new starters - complete I-9 checks, equipment set up (in coordination with our UK IT team), desk setup, welcome packs, first-week schedules and WeWork access, so every new MVFer feels set up from day one.

• Assist our UK based Talent/Recruitment team with interview scheduling for US hiring managers- plus occasionally helping the team with sourcing.

Our Ideal MVFer

• Experience in office coordination, front-of-house, HR administration or a similar people-facing role.
• A natural connector - warm, proactive and energised by bringing people together.
• Comfortable working independently and flexibly across a part-time, 16 hours a week.
• Organised with strong attention to detail, able to juggle facilities, people and events tasks at once.
• Experience with onboarding, recruitment coordination or HR admin is a plus, but not essential. We can teach the process if you bring the energy.
