ThoughtWorks - People Champion - HR Business Partner

We build software for a wide variety of people so we think that a wide variety of people should build our software. We proudly, passionately and actively strive to make both ThoughtWorks and our industry more reflective and inclusive of the society that we serve. As long as you're an opinionated, disruptive thinker, we- d like to hear from you.

We don't do bureaucracy, or hierarchy but you'll get a lot of autonomy and be actively encouraged to experiment with new ideas without limitation.-

As a software services and consulting firm, people really are our business, and your job will be to take care of them. Put simply, this role is to ensure that ThoughtWorks remains a high caliber talent organization and to help us engage and support our people better.
