You have experience with a varied set of client groups. GTM experience is an asset, but the role will flex across different client groups.
You’re unfazed by a fast moving environment, and can stay flexible and solutions focused in ambiguous situations, or in time where priorities may change

You are capable of being a trusted sounding board and partner to your leaders in matters of organizational design, workforce planning, talent reviews, and change management. Leaders don't just need you to facilitate; they value your perspective.
You have advised and coached leaders on performance management, employee relations, and exits in multiple EMEA jurisdictions and can work collaboratively with employee relations partners and internal legal counsel through the process.
You use AI in your day-to-day work for personal productivity and for sharper insight and analysis across your portfolio.
You work effectively in a fully remote, distributed environment, and can flex across timezones when the work requires it.
Things You’ll Do
Serve as the strategic People partner to leaders in Data and Product, and the team expert in EMEA HR Partner Experience.
Develop deep knowledge of Zapier's market context, business strategy, and your client group's role within this to better advise and build strong relationships with your leaders.
Work directly with leaders in your organization on organizational design, setting and holding performance standards, talent reviews, and change management communications
Advise on complex people challenges, offering thoughtful, timely support that balances empathy with sound judgment and business context.

Partner with Centers of Excellence to design and roll out people initiatives that are useful, relevant, and well-connected to the needs of the business.
Strengthen the team's practice outside North America by partnering with the PBP-ER team on any EMEA employee performance cases or investigations.
Continue to grow your skills in leveraging AI tooling for your day-to-day work, and sharing your practices with the team.
