Role
Who you are
- A track record of doing — not just directing — HR work at senior level in fast-paced environments
- Skilled at working across CoEs (Talent Acquisition, L&D, Reward) and People Experience to get things done — influencing without authority and making partnerships genuinely productive
- A reputation for being visible, trusted, and direct with senior stakeholders
- Strong coaching capability — you've demonstrably made leaders better
- Comfort with ambiguity and matrix organisations; you create clarity, you don't wait for it
- Bias for action and low tolerance for unnecessary process
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Director, HRBP who rolls up their sleeves. Not a strategist who hands work downstream. Not a consultant who surfaces insight and moves on. Someone who stays in the room, does the work, and is the person our senior leaders call when things get hard
- You'll partner directly with functional leaders across EMEA — coaching them, challenging them, and being genuinely present in the day-to-day complexity of running high-performing teams across multiple markets
- Reporting to the EMEA CPO
- Be present with leaders — not a layer above them:
- Build deep, trusted relationships with senior leaders; be their first call, not a last resort
- Show up in the detail — org decisions, difficult conversations, team dynamics — not just the set-piece moments
- Own your outcomes end-to-end, partnering closely with CoEs and People Experience to deliver — but never using them as a reason to step back
- Shape the org — then make it work:
- Ensure the right people in the right roles at the right time using the levers in your toolbox: e.g. capability development, talent assessment, hiring, strategic workforce manager
- Lead org design work through to implementation, not just the deck
- Drive change initiatives with pace; see them through to adoption
- Own workforce planning, headcount and people budget management — building the plan, tracking it, and holding the line as priorities shift
- Set and hold high performance standards with leaders — with pace and without ambiguity
- Lead talent reviews, succession planning, and pipeline work that actually influence decisions
- Spot and address underperformance early; don't wait for it to become a crisis
- Partner with people managers and local HR Management teams to translate local employment law requirements to leadership
- Balance commercial pragmatism with compliance across multiple jurisdictions
- Coach, don't just advise:
- Work hands-on with senior leaders to improve how they lead, give feedback, and build their teams
- Drive capability where it's needed, not just where it's easy
- This is not a role for someone who delegates execution to their team and focuses on strategy. If your instinct is to build a centre of excellence and step back, this probably isn't the right fit. We need someone who is energised by being close to the work — and who makes our CoEs and People Experience teams more effective by being a strong, demanding partner to them
