HR Business Partner, EMEA

This is not a traditional HRBP role with a narrowly defined business-partnering remit. Instead, you'll operate across the full breadth of the People function, combining hands-on People Operations, HR business partnering, Recruiting support, and close partnership with Workplace, as and when required. You'll be the eyes and ears of the broader People team in EMEA: building strong relationships across the region, understanding what is happening on the ground, bringing regional context and insights back to the global People team, and helping translate global People programmes into an effective EMEA experience. This is a highly varied role for someone who enjoys switching between tactical execution and strategic business partnership, thrives in ambiguity, and is energised by building and improving things as the organisation grows.
