About Stora

Stora is a self storage software platform at the forefront of a technology-led revolution in the industry. We empower self storage operators to seamlessly manage their businesses, automate processes, and drive revenue growth. In just over 4 years, we’ve helped hundreds of operators around the world process tens of millions in automated payments. Known as innovators in our space, we’re a fast-growing team focused on making self storage better for everyone.

Why this role matters

Until now, people operations at Stora have been led directly by our COO. As we grow, this is no longer sustainable. We’re ready for someone to take full ownership of hiring, onboarding, culture, policies, and performance—all the things that keep our team strong and aligned.

This is our first dedicated People role. You’ll be hands-on from day one, bringing structure and care to how we hire, welcome, support, and grow our team. You’ll work closely with leadership to shape an environment where everyone can do their best work.

What you’ll do

• Own and improve our hiring processes—from job specs to onboarding

• Track and maintain performance and feedback rituals across the team

• Lead on HR policies, benefits, contracts, and general people ops

• Organise internal team events, meetups, and offsites

• Be a sounding board and support partner to team leads and leadership

• Help define and embed our company values and cultural principles

• Identify gaps or risks in how we work and proactively fix them

What you’ll bring

• Highly organised and self-directed—you don’t wait to be told what to do

• A bias for action and clarity—able to balance empathy with effectiveness

• Confident working across everything from recruitment to policy writing

• Great with technology and digital tools—able to establish and maintain effective systems and processes

• Strong written and verbal communicator

• Comfortable working closely with leadership and coaching others

• Values trust, transparency, and healthy team dynamics

Preferred experience

• Experience managing people ops or HR in a startup or SaaS company

• Familiar with building hiring pipelines, onboarding journeys, and remote-first culture

Why join Stora

Stora offers a collaborative environment where you’ll have real ownership and impact. We value honesty, humility, and responsibility, and we’re excited to welcome someone who’s passionate about building a strong, healthy company culture from the inside out.

Location

We’re remote-first with a distributed team across the UK and Europe. This role would ideally be based in Northern Ireland to enable easier collaboration with the leadership team, but we’re open to the right candidate elsewhere in the UK or Ireland.

What we offer

• Competitive salary

• Remote work – with Belfast office access

• Private health insurance for you and your family

• Pension plan

• 35 days annual leave

• Share options, Apple laptop, and WFH budget

• In-person meetups and team retreats
