About the role
What you'll own
- Provide practical advice to employees, managers and People Operations colleagues on local employment practices, policies and people matters that require interpretation or judgement.
•
- Running local cases from start to finish within the scope of your certification, including absence management, ongoing performance concerns and restructuring conversations, with each one properly scoped, documented and closed
- Handling intake for leave, accommodation and absence requests, resolving what's routine and recognizing what needs to go further
- Building out local process and policy, and ensuring people programs effectively land in your market.
- Identify opportunities to improve local processes, employee experiences and ways of working, collaborating with other People teams to implement improvements.
- Applying your market's jurisdiction playbook accurately and consistently, and flagging where it doesn't fit local reality
- Recognizing the moment a matter becomes formal, contested or legally sensitive, and handing it off the same day with everything the next person needs to pick it up seamlessly
- Keeping your certification and calibration current so your casework meets the same standard as every other market
- Work closely with People Business Partners and Employee Relations & Compliance, sharing local trends, recurring issues and emerging risks to inform broader people decisions and improvements.
What success looks like
- Employees and managers get fast, consistent, local support without having to wait on anyone
- Every case you run is well documented and would stand up to close scrutiny
- Handoffs are clean and immediate, and nothing formal or legally sensitive stays with you longer than it should
- Patterns you spot locally, such as a recurring issue or a risk building in one team, are raised early with both Employee Relations & Compliance and the relevant People Partner, before they become bigger problems
- You're a trusted, visible presence in your market: the person people choose to go to, not a channel they're told to use
Who you are
- Experience in an HR, People Operations or HR generalist role, ideally with some exposure to employee relations casework
- A good understanding of local employment practices, employee relations and HR policies, with the ability to apply these in real-world situations.
- Able to stay neutral and steady under pressure, including with senior stakeholders
- Sound judgment on when to act and when to escalate; you'd rather flag early than guess
- Organized and detail-oriented, with documentation clear enough that someone else could pick it up cold
- Motivated by where this role can lead, with a genuine interest in growing
- Comfortable working within a defined playbook while bringing your own judgment to how it's applied
