People & Culture Manager at The Ehlers-Danlos Society, building people operations for a remote UK and US workforce.

At The Ehlers-Danlos Society, I lead people operations for a remote workforce across the UK and US. I work with the COO and senior leaders on practical processes, policies and employee lifecycle frameworks.

I’ve improved the Society’s HR infrastructure across several roles, including implementing HR technology and strengthening people data governance and reporting. I also developed a People Insights framework to inform leadership decisions and workforce planning.

As People Operations Manager, I led cross-functional organisational development initiatives and supported leaders on HR priorities. I also developed the Society’s reward and benefits approach through pay benchmarking, flexible benefits review and recognition initiatives.

Before joining the Society, I held sole responsibility for HR at NSSL Group Holdings Ltd, supporting more than 250 employees across 30+ services. I’m CIPD Level 5 qualified and focus on clear, reliable people operations that support organisational needs and a positive employee experience.
