- 4+ years of relevant international HR Business Partner experience, supporting a variety of departments, especially Sales

- Strong compliance/statutory background - comfortable auditing, interpreting local law, and translating it into practical guidance for managers

- Independent and self-directed - able to move ER cases and projects forward without heavy oversight
- Collaborative - works effectively with People Partners, Legal, and local leadership; strong stakeholder management
- Commercial fluency - understands how a sales-driven, target-led business operates and can adapt HR approach accordingly

What the job involves
- We're creating a new People Partner & Employee Relations Lead role on the EMEA People team to build out our Employee Relations and HR Compliance capability across the region, alongside a partial People Partner support role. This is roughly a 60% ER & Compliance / 40% HRBP split
- As our EMEA footprint has grown, so has the complexity of managing employee relations and statutory compliance consistently in multiple jurisdictions. This role will own that complexity: handling ER casework end-to-end, lead works council activity, keeping us compliant with local labor law and data privacy requirements, and making sure our policies and manager practices hold up across every country we operate in
- You'll work independently to drive ER cases and compliance projects to resolution, while partnering closely with People Partners, Legal, and local leadership. You'll also have Business Partner responsibility for a defined set of groups, so you'll need to be equally comfortable running a grievance investigation and supporting managers in business related activities
- You know how to balance employment law compliance and risk mitigation with the agility, speed, and continuous evolution of a high-growth tech environment
- Employee Relations: Own workplace conflict, performance, disciplinary, and grievance cases across the region - investigating fairly, managing risk, and driving cases to a compliant and timely resolution
- Statutory Compliance: Monitor and enforce compliance with local labor law, working time regulations, compensation standards, and data privacy requirements across all six countries
- Policy Management: Own and evolve HR policies, employee handbooks, and SOPs - ensuring they reflect current law, scalable practices, and are usable by managers day-to-day
- Risk Mitigation: Run regular compliance audits and train managers on lawful hiring, termination, and everyday people-management practices
- Work Council Ownership: Act as the primary point of contact for works councils - preparing materials, running consultations, and managing the relationships. (Currently not active)
- HRBP (c. 40%): Provide day-to-day People Business Partnering to an assigned set of groups - coaching managers, supporting workforce planning, and partnering on performance and talent conversations
- Partner cross-functionally with a variety of stakeholders including Legal, Security, Finance, and People teams (Talent Acquisition, Total Reward, and L&D) to ensure joined-up support for the business and consistent application of policy

Our take
Monday.com is a customisable work OS where teams create and shape workflow apps in minutes to plan, run, and track their processes, projects, and operations for organisations of all sizes. The code-free platform adapts to shifting needs quickly, liberates teams from manual grunt work, and connects teams in a collaborative work space. Ultimately, its agile product suite transforms the way that businesses run and is applicable across many use cases.
The company’s products are gaining increasing popularity with customers seeking ways to manage employees who are increasingly working from home. Within the collaboration tools market, Monday.com hopes to position itself as the ever-powerful and smart go-to place to get an overview of everything that’s happening in teams, with low chat noise and no need for technical knowledge to gain understanding. It's been picked up by over 245,000 companies worldwide, including household brands such as Coca Cola, Hulu and Universal Music Group.
Since listing publically and gaining IPO status in 2019, Monday's revenue and subscription base have continued to grow despite economic headwinds in the overall tech sector. Long term, the founders believe they can grow the company to a secure No. 1 spot. They plan to do this by capitalising on the growing uptake of remote working and no-code customisation over the next decade.
