  • Oversee training and career development programs to ensure growth and retention.
  • Guiding and coaching managers on all employee relations including disciplinary, grievance and performance management.
  • Guiding and advising managers on all aspects of international HR laws and regulatory requirements.
  • Build and lead a team of HR generalists to provide first-line HR support to the international business.


About you:


We are looking for a progressive career with a track record of success. You will need to have experience supporting an international business. You will also lead on policy & procedures, HRIS, and other specific projects.


  • Ideally FCIPD or MCIPD qualified and of graduate calibre.
  • Experience of working at senior HR Operations Manager level within a commercial environment.
  • Hardworking, hands-on with a proven track record.
  • Experience of working in an international business is essential.
  • Strong IT, data management and technical skills.
  • Outstanding presentation skills.
  • Have the skills and credibility to effectively coach and advise directors and senior executives.
  • Commercially minded with the ability to leverage data and logic in support of making a business case.
  • High degree of self-confidence with the ability to challenge.
  • Collaborative with an enabling coaching style.
  • A proactive approach to stakeholder engagement and experience of designing and delivering on HR initiatives.
