Talent & People Partner (12 month FTC)

Talent & People Partner (12 month FTC) Start Date: December 2026 The Role Lyrebird is building the world's best health-tech company, and every person we hire shapes how fast we get there. We're looking for a Talent & People Partner who is part recruiter, part talent scout, and fully accountable for how we hire, while also being our UK People Partner point of contact. You'll own full-cycle recruitment from first outreach to signed offer, working directly with leadership to bring in the people who will form the core of Lyrebird's future. This is not a coordinator role: the quality and speed of our hiring will rest in your hands. You thrive when you're close to the action and the stakes are real. You don't wait for a brief to land on your desk; you're already in the market, mapping talent and starting conversations before the role opens. You move with urgency, but you never trade away quality or care, because every candidate's experience says something about who we are. You bring a point of view to leadership, say the difficult thing directly, and make hiring decisions sharper as a result. About Us We turn real clinical conversations into accurate notes, automatically, backed by ambient real time document creation, intelligent document management and clinical workflow automation, native patient data integrations across siloed health systems, and a patient and clinical communications layer.
