The Senior Employee Relations Partner is a strategic role responsible for building and embedding best‑practice employee relations capabilities across the organization. The focus of the role is on knowledge sharing, capability building, and programmatic ER and compliance frameworks, rather than direct ownership of all individual employee relations cases.

The role is designed to create consistency, scalability, and risk mitigation across employee relations and compliance as the company continues to grow and expand internationally.

Key Responsibilities

Employee Relations Strategy & Frameworks

• Design and implement group‑wide employee relations frameworks, policies, and guidelines aligned with local labor regulations and business needs.
• Establish best‑practice ER standards and ensure consistent application across countries and business units.
• Take a programmatic approach to ER, identifying themes, systemic risks, and improvement opportunities across the organization.

Compliance Policies & Governance

• Lead the development, review, and maintenance of employee‑related compliance policies across all relevant topics (e.g. conduct, disciplinary processes, grievances, harassment, ethics, investigations, whistleblowing, working conditions, and related employment compliance areas).
• Ensure compliance policies are globally consistent yet locally adaptable, reflecting applicable labor laws and regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction.
• Partner closely with Legal to ensure policies are legally sound, risk‑mitigated, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
• Establish clear policy governance, ownership, and escalation models, including guidance on interpretation and application by HR and leaders.
• Drive effective policy communication, training, and awareness, ensuring policies are understood and consistently applied across the organization.

Capability Building & Knowledge Sharing

• Build ER and compliance capability within HR and leadership teams through guidance, toolkits, playbooks, and training.
• Act as a center of expertise for complex employee relations and compliance topics, supporting HR teams rather than managing all cases directly.
• Develop and deliver learning sessions, case studies, and practical guidance to upskill local HR teams.

Advisory Role (Not Case Ownership)

• Provide strategic advice and escalation support for complex or high‑risk ER and compliance matters, without assuming responsibility for managing all individual cases end‑to‑end.
• Unlike localized ER roles (e.g. full case ownership in specific countries), this role does not manage all ER cases across the business, but supports them through expertise and frameworks.

Risk Management & Insights

• Monitor ER and compliance trends, disputes, and risk exposure to proactively identify and address potential systemic issues.
• Use insights from cases and policy application to continuously improve frameworks, guidance, and training.

Collaboration with Legal

• Work hand‑in‑hand with the Employment Lawyer role under the Legal function.
• Partner closely on:
• Complex employee relations and compliance matters
• Policy interpretation and legal validation
• International expansion into new jurisdictions

Key Stakeholders

• HR Leadership and HR Business Partners
• Local HR Ops
• Legal  - Employment Lawyer
• Senior Leaders and People Managers
• People & Culture, Rewards, Talent, and Compliance functions

Role Scope & Boundaries

• Ownership of ER and employee‑related compliance frameworks.
• Focus on scalable, policy‑driven solutions rather than country‑specific execution.
• ER case management remains with local HR teams, supported by this role through expertise, policies, and governance.

• Serve as the primary strategic link between P&C and the Chief of Staff, Central Transformation Office, and Finance, ensuring People initiatives are woven into the broader corporate fabric.
• Masterfully navigate complex cross-functional dependencies, proactively mitigating execution risks before they impact the business.
• Oversee the development of high-stakes Board and Executive-level memos, ensuring all P&C proposals are structured, financially sound, and decision-ready for the CHRO and Leadership Team.

• Strategically manage P&C capacity, providing the VP and LT with the insights needed to make critical trade-offs in resource allocation.
• Lead, coach, and elevate a team of Senior Project Managers and Analysts, fostering a culture of high performance and professional growth.
• Act as a center of excellence for the wider HR function, building project management maturity and execution discipline across all People teams.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven ability to lead and develop high-performing teams of senior project managers and specialists.
• Exceptional ability to translate complex portfolio data into clear, data-driven narratives for the CHRO and Board.
• Advanced influencing skills to navigate ambiguity and build credibility within a high-growth, matrixed C-suite environment.
