HR People Ops EMEA

ABOUT MISTRAL Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms. We are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited. THE ROLE As a Senior HR People Ops on the People Operations team at Mistral AI, you will be our UK people operations expert and the engine behind our EMEA expansion. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity and wants to help build the operational backbone of a fast-growing AI company. What makes this role unique: Mistral AI is actively expanding into new European markets. You will play a key part in that expansion — helping open new entities, set up local HR operations, and build scalable processes from the ground up. This is not a maintenance role; it is a builder's role. The UK is the core of this role. You will be the UK people operations expert — the person the team turns to for UK employment law, contracts, benefits, payroll, right-to-work, and visa sponsorship. Our main location for this role is London. That said, we are open to candidates based elsewhere in Europe — Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Germany, or any other location — provided you bring super strong, demonstrable experience in UK: employment law, contracts, benefits, payroll, right-to-work, and business sponsorships. On top of owning the UK, you will help us expand into new EMEA countries — building HR operations from scratch as we grow across Europe.   WHAT YOU WILL DO - Own UK people
