Role
Who you are
- Experienced HR Professional: You bring 4–6 years of progressive experience combining HR business partnering with core HR operations—ideally within tech, media, adtech, or a fast-paced global environment
- US & Americas Expertise: You have a strong working knowledge of US employment practices (broader Americas experience is a plus)
- Pragmatic Communicator & Advisor: You build trust quickly, communicate clearly, and balance strategic advisory work with hands-on execution without missing a beat
- Sound Judgment: You operate comfortably in a fast-paced matrix, using strong discretion to resolve issues independently or escalate when appropriate
- Detail-Oriented & Operational: You are structured, reliable, comfortable working with HR data and platforms, and focused on driving continuous process improvement
What the job involves
- As a People Partner at Acast, you will combine trusted HR advisory with hands-on operational delivery to support our leaders, managers, and employees across the Americas
- Working closely with the Americas People Lead and our global People team, you will translate global strategies into seamless regional execution. You’ll serve as a go-to resource across the region, guiding managers through daily people decisions, managing employee relations, and keeping our core HR operations running smoothly
- People Partnership & Coaching: Act as a reliable first point of contact for managers and employees. Provide clear, practical advice on performance, team dynamics, development, and organizational changes, while helping leaders apply People policies consistently
- Employee Relations: Manage ER cases across the region (including investigations, performance concerns, and exits) constructively and early
- Regional Operations & Compliance: Support the seamless delivery of the employee lifecycle (onboarding, offboarding, internal transfers, and promotions). Maintain accurate HRIS data (Lattice and other platforms), partner with Payroll, Finance, and Legal, and continuously improve regional processes
- Performance, Talent & Reward: Support the regional rollout of performance cycles, talent calibration, promotion rounds, and compensation reviews. Enable managers with clear guidance on development and retention strategies
- Projects & Initiatives: Own specific regional workstreams, guide managers through change management, and share feedback from the Americas region to help shape global People initiatives
Our take
Acast is a podcast hosting platform, monetised by its ad network. Users gain access to a variety of tools, including sharing tools and advanced analytics, and earn money via the adverts provided by the Acast service. Acast publish podcasts to all podcast apps such as Amazon, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Acast is used by worldwide brands such as the Guardian, BBC, HuffPost, VICE, Vogue, and the Financial Times. It enables creators and advertisers to foster meaningful relationships with listeners, while giving anyone access to insightful, educational, and entertaining audio content.
Its acquisition of Podchaser - one of the most comprehensive podcast databases in the world - in 2022 meant that Acast could begin to build a structured metadata portfolio for the market. Propping up its creator network, it acquired Backyard in 2026, giving it access to some of the largest names in podcasting. Solidifying its status, Acast has now built tools for listeners, creators and advertisers that enable monetisation and accelerated global reach.
