About Morgan & Mallet International
Morgan & Mallet International is a luxury private household and estate staffing agency serving high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, family offices, and private estates.
We operate across Londona, Paris, Antibes-Monaco, Rolle-Genève, Dubai, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, providing both recruitment and Employer of Record (EOR) services. Our reputation rests on discretion, precision, and the reassurance we offer to clients and staff alike.
Role Summary
We are looking for a skilled and detail-driven Human Resources Manager to take full ownership of HR operations for a population of between 10 and 15 employees in the UK.
This is a 100% remote position. You will be the central point of contact for the employee lifecycle, UK compliance, benefits administration, and the coordination of payroll and overtime information with our accountant and our internal invoice team.
The ideal candidate combines strong knowledge of UK employment law with the practical, hands-on capability to run day-to-day HR independently. You will work closely with our co-founders and wider international HR team while managing your own caseload with autonomy and care.
Responsibilities
- Manage the full employee lifecycle for 10 to 15 staff, from onboarding through to offboarding.

- Act as the first point of contact for employee queries, providing clear and reassuring guidance.
- Ensure full compliance with UK employment law and regulation across all HR activity.
- Keep policies, procedures, and contracts current with legislative changes (working time, statutory leave, right to work, GDPR, and related areas).
- Manage right-to-work checks and supporting documentation.
- Advise on and handle employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, and performance processes, in a fair and legally sound manner.
- Administer the employee benefits programme, including enrolment, changes, and renewals.
- Communicate benefits clearly to employees and support them through any questions.
- Liaise with benefits providers and review offerings to ensure they remain competitive and compliant.
- Act as the bridge between HR and our accountant for all payroll-related information.
- Submit accurate monthly payroll inputs so that payslips are produced correctly and on time.
- Report and track sick leave, statutory and contractual holiday entitlement, and any deductions or adjustments.
- Reconcile leave balances and ensure records align between HR and payroll.
- Communicate with the internal invoice team to calculate extra hours and overtime accurately.
- Collate and validate timesheets and additional-hours data before submission.
- Ensure overtime, bonuses, and any variable pay are captured correctly for both payroll and billing.
- Manage and maintain our HR information system, Zoho People, as the system of record.
- Keep employee data, leave tracking, and workflows accurate and current within the platform.
- Generate HR reports and metrics to support decision-making.
- Continuously improve HR processes and workflows for efficiency and accuracy.
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years of experience in a Human Resources role, ideally with HR management responsibility.
- Strong, current knowledge of UK employment law and regulation.
- Proven experience in benefits management.
- Hands-on experience with HR software; experience with Zoho People is a strong advantage.
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate payroll inputs with an accountant or payroll provider, including sick leave and holidays.
- Confident handling overtime and extra-hours calculations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- High level of discretion and professionalism, suited to a confidential, high-net-worth environment.
- Ability to work independently and manage a full HR caseload remotely.
- CIPD qualification (Level 5 or above) or equivalent.
- Experience within luxury, hospitality, private household, or family office settings.
- Familiarity with EOR or international staffing structures.
