Job description

Key details

  • Own complex ER casework end to end across every market: investigations, grievances, disciplinaries, PIPs and terminations for cause, to a consistently high, legally sound standard
  • Be the escalation point when a matter turns complex, contested or legally weighted, for Local People Advisory and the wider People org
  • Hold the bar on case handling: written scoping, contemporaneous documentation, balance-of-probabilities findings, and independent second review of any outcome that could end employment
  • Own employment and ER compliance across all six markets: statutory notice and consultation, works council and union engagement, mandatory filings and register-keeping, and local implementation of the EU Whistleblowing Directive
  • Maintain the EMEA jurisdiction playbook and horizon-scan for legal changes, flagging implications to leadership early
  • Engage Employment Counsel at the right moment with a clear written scope
  • Build dedicated ER capability across EMEA, prioritised by risk and case volume, on the foundation of the Stockholm team
  • Certify and calibrate anyone running a formal ER process, keeping casework consistent as the team grows
  • Act as the quality check for Local People Advisory across EMEA, signing off local ER and compliance work
  • Partner with People Partners, People Operations, People Tech and Rewards so policy and tooling reflect what EMEA markets need
  • Turn case patterns into a regular, actionable view for People leadership
  • Work with NORAM and APAC counterparts on one shared case taxonomy, system and calibration forum, representing EMEA's regulatory and cultural nuance in global standards
