You’ll serve as the most senior People Team member in the region, responsible for enabling business growth, scaling the support model, and shaping employee experience.

  • HR Harmonization: Lead the alignment of practices across the UK, Poland, Switzerland, and Dubai to ensure operational efficiency and a consistent employee experience
  • Matrix Leadership & Collaboration: Provide dotted-line leadership to regional TA, Talent Development, and People Operations teams. Partner with Global Centers of Excellence to ensure programs (Comp, Performance Management) are executed in-region effectively
  • Change Management & Transformation: Lead complex regional efforts, such as site expansions or org redesigns, with a thoughtful, employee-centric approach
  • Culture & Engagement: Drive localized engagement strategies and action planning to sustain a values-aligned culture across diverse EMEA offices
  • Compliance & Employee Relations: Ensure all practices meet local labor laws (including Works Council/Union considerations) and manage regional ER issues in partnership with Legal

Requirements

  • An experienced People Business Partner ideally with prior experience leading people strategy in the EMEA region
  • Strong background supporting or operating within a U.S.-headquartered company, with comfort navigating global decision-making, time zones, and cultural alignment
  • Skilled in coaching, organizational design, performance and talent development, change management, workforce planning, and employee relations
  • Able to flex between strategic work and hands-on execution, particularly in fast-scaling or lean environments
  • A collaborative builder with strong relationship skills, excellent judgment, and a people-first mindset
  • Adept at using data and insights to shape talent decisions and influence senior stakeholders
  • Experienced in supporting geographically distributed teams and operating with a high degree of agility and independence
  • A confident, clear communicator with excellent listening and influencing skills across diverse audiences and cultures
  • A high-EQ matrix leader capable of driving results through influence rather than just direct authority
  • Deep knowledge of European labor relations, including experience navigating Works Councils, trade unions, or localized employee representative bodies
  • Applicants must have, and maintain, the right to work in the United Kingdom from the first day of employment
  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this role
