Join the Future of Technology with ZILO

At ZILO, we're redefining what's possible in technology. ZILO is the UK-based FinTech specialising in global asset and wealth management software, designed to scale and transform businesses of all types using our own developed AI Technology. Our mission is to digitalise the future of the global asset management industry.

We are a team of experts with decades of combined experience at leading firms globally, who thrive in fast-paced environments and want to shape the future of technology. Every individual plays a key role in driving progress and making a real impact. We continuously strive to innovate and improve.

Why work with us? At ZILO, you'll be part of a dynamic and inclusive environment where creativity thrives. We offer the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology, collaborate with talented individuals, and contribute to projects that have a real-world impact. We value continuous learning, personal growth, and providing our team with the resources they need to succeed.

About The Role

We are looking for a proactive and people-centric People & Learning Advisor to join our small, global, People& Culture team. This is a generalist role with a strong focus on Learning & Development and Performance Management, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced SME environment and is excited about helping shape people and development initiatives.

You will lead on the end-to-end performance cycle, design and deliver engaging training sessions and maintain and shape our annual learning planner, own internship and early careers programs, and contribute to the onboarding experience for new hires.

We're a close-knit and collaborative team where everyone pitches in and supports each other to get the job done so as a generalist, you'll also provide support across recruitment, people projects, data reporting, and payroll as required.

You will also be a key advocate and role model of our ZILO DNA Character, Craftmanship and Creativity.

We work flexibly, but this role requires 3 days per week attendance at our Canary Wharf office to support face-to-face training, inductions, and team collaboration. We're building a people-first culture and are looking for someone who brings energy, innovation, and a commitment to helping people thrive.

Does this sound like you? Then we can't wait to hear from you!
