What are the responsibilities and job description for the People Operations Partner position at Lorum?
About The Company
About Lorum
Global payments are not broken. Incentives are. Clearing has been deprioritised inside balance sheet driven institutions whose models rely on lending and interest. When liquidity takes priority over settlement, payments slow and certainty drops. The same financial institutions that distort clearing as providers are disadvantaged as users. They are forced into fragmented setups, inconsistent rails, duplicated compliance, and unpredictable timelines. Stablecoin shortcuts and treasury pooling treat symptoms at the surface, but almost no one is rebuilding the underlying infrastructure in each market.
Rebuilding clearing from the ground up
We are rebuilding clearing as its own specialist function. We act as a clearing and transaction banking partner for regulated institutions, with treasury built into the core so liquidity, settlement, and reconciliation sit in one controlled system.
Our platform unifies global and local licenses, direct central bank clearing, and domestic rails. We allow clients to open named customer accounts in every market we operate, collecting funds and paying out through a single network while retaining full ownership of their customer relationships. Market expansion becomes as simple as one correspondent relationship, not hundreds.
Why Lorum
Joining Lorum means contributing to one of the most ambitious clearing infrastructure projects in global finance. You will help shape settlement systems that perform under real regulatory standards and institutional volumes. You will build for regulated institutions that rely on precision, predictable timelines, and regulatory integrity. It is about working across currencies, markets, and supervisory frameworks to deliver reliable, final settlement.
About The Role
We’re hiring a People Operations Partner to support the day-to-day running of Lorum’s people function. You’ll sit at the heart of our people operations, managing employee lifecycles, visas, onboarding, HR systems, offices, payroll and general people administration.
This is a hands-on, detail-oriented role that keeps the business running smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll work closely with our Head of People, ensuring every employee experience, regardless of location, is seamless, compliant, and well-supported.
