Job Description
SugarAI is redefining CRM for the age of AI.
We’re delivering on the original promise of CRM—turning fragmented customer and revenue signals into clear, prioritized action. Instead of more dashboards or surface-level insights, we help teams focus on what matters most and know exactly what to do next.
More than two decades after our founding, we’re entering a new chapter with clarity and momentum—building intelligent, intuitive solutions that work within the flow of how teams actually sell and serve. We’re focused on solving complex, real-world challenges where relationships, context, and precision make all the difference.
Our global team is united by a shared commitment to impact, ownership, and continuous growth. We create an environment where thoughtful ideas move quickly, where people are trusted to lead, and where flexibility supports how great work gets done.
If you’re excited to help shape what’s next in AI-driven CRM—and build technology that drives real outcomes—we’d love to meet you.
At SugarAI, we’re redefining how businesses build meaningful customer relationships—and that starts with both exceptional talent and a strong employee experience. This role sits at the intersection of HR partnership and talent acquisition, playing a critical role in shaping how we attract, hire, and support our people in the UK and across the region.
You’ll be the primary HR presence in the UK and a key driver of full-cycle recruiting, acting as a trusted partner to employees, managers, and leadership. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll balance operational excellence with genuine relationship-building.
Our UK team is at an important moment, with the opportunity to strengthen engagement, rebuild trust, and elevate both hiring and employee experience. Success in this role requires someone who combines strong HR expertise, recruiting capability, and the ability to influence and connect with people at all levels.
This role is based in our Solihull office with a hybrid schedule (2 days onsite).
