Lead People Partner GTM

Hello! We're Teya.

Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

At Teya we believe small, local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities.

We’re here because we don’t believe there’s a level playing field that gives small businesses with a fighting chance against the giants of the high street.

We’re here because we see banks and legacy service providers making things harder for them. We don’t think the best technology or the best service should be reserved for those with the biggest headquarters.

We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.

Become a part of our story.

We’re looking for exceptional talent to join our mission. We offer a chance to create impact in a high-energy and connected culture, while benefiting from continuous learning opportunities, a supportive community which is proud to serve our mission, and comprehensive benefits.

Teya is scaling rapidly, and the UK region sits at the centre of that growth. We’re building a high-performing GTM organisation that spans Sales, Partnerships, Customer Success and Field Operations, and we’re looking for a Lead People Partner to help shape how the region performs and scales.

This role partners directly with the UK General Manager and the leadership team to align people strategy with commercial priorities. You’ll work across structure, capability, leadership, and performance to ensure that the UK GTM organisation is built for growth and led with clarity.

You’ll operate with a blend of strategic perspective and practical delivery, moving easily between long-term workforce design and immediate operational needs. The impact of this role will be seen in how effectively teams execute, how leaders lead, and how we continue to build a culture of accountability and high performance.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to the UK GM and GTM leadership, aligning people plans with commercial strategy and growth targets.

• Provide guidance on organisational effectiveness, leadership development, and workforce planning.

• Use people insights and data to influence business decisions and anticipate future capability needs.

• Partner with leaders to strengthen managerial effectiveness, feedback culture, and performance accountability.

• Collaborate with the global People team to shape talent strategies that attract, develop, and retain top commercial talent.

• Identify future leaders and support succession and development planning across key roles.

• Lead the execution of performance, compensation, and engagement cycles for the UK GTM organisation, ensuring clarity, fairness, and impact, in partnership with the CoE teams.

• Build the foundations for the People Machine in the UK, ensuring we’re able to attract, onboard, develop and retain top GTM talent.

• Drive initiatives that reinforce Teya’s culture and values within a high-growth, customer-facing environment.

• Partner with Finance, Sales Ops, and Reward to align structure, incentives, and headcount plans with business priorities.

• Navigate complex employee relations or change situations with sound judgement and a focus on outcomes.

• Contribute to broader people initiatives, ensuring alignment and knowledge-sharing across the People Partnering team.

• You’re an experienced People Partner who has supported commercial/GTM organisation within high growth, fast-scaling environments (Fin Tech/SaaS preferred).

• You understand how growth happens in real time (headcount, revenue targets, structure, incentives, execution) and how people decisions drive it.

• You’ve built credibility with executives by combining sound judgement with a calm, data-driven approach. Leaders seek your perspective not just on people matters, but on how teams operate and deliver.

• You’re commercially fluent and comfortable in the rhythm of a sales organisation - forecasting, productivity, territory models, incentives, performance. You can connect those levers…
