The Role & Key Responsibilities:

• Partner with senior business leaders on strategic HR topics, including organizational design, restructuring, and complex employee relations matters, providing clear, pragmatic guidance aligned to business objectives.

• Provide high-quality advisory support to senior stakeholders on people and culture topics, enabling effective decision-making and execution.

• Manage complex employee relations matters, including investigations, separations, redundancies, and legal cases, with sound judgment and risk awareness.
• Work in close alignment with the Regional Head of HR to ensure consistency of approach, share best practices, and support broader regional priorities.

• Collaborate with local and global HR teams to contribute to regional and global initiatives, ensuring effective localization and execution.

• Lead, coach, and develop HR team members, ensuring clear delegation, capability building, and delivery through the team.

• Drive delivery through structured workstreams, ensuring clear ownership, follow-through, and measurable outcomes without direct reliance on individual operational execution.

• Support and lead ad hoc initiatives as required to meet evolving business needs.

Skills Required:

• Strong ability to operate as a trusted advisor to senior leadership
• Demonstrated experience influencing decisions on structure, talent, and performance
• Ability to translate business priorities into a focused HR agenda
• Proven ability to structure complex workstreams and drive delivery through clear ownership models
• Strong capability in delegation, follow‑through, and ensuring execution through team and vendors, while managing end‑to‑end accountability
