London, Greater London, United Kingdom Canonical Full time

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with colleagues in 75+ countries and few office-based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder-led, profitable, and growing. We are hiring a Regional HR Manager at Canonical to support our EMEA region. With 1,000+ colleagues across 75 countries, we require an HR function that thinks and acts globally. We're looking for a regional lead that will report into our Global Head of HR who can help build our company as we go through continued growth plans. It's an exciting time to join with the opportunity to help shape and create an HR function for the future.

The role entails the individual to:

  • Lead and scale Canonical's regional HR team (1-4 direct reports, depending on region)
  • Deliver precise and compliant HR operations in a timely manner and with the highest degree of accuracy
  • Interact closely with Talent Science and Workplace Engineering teams and create tight-knit processes across all HR regions
  • Be accountable for HR processes such as talent development, succession planning, performance assessments, onboarding, culture, and engagement initiatives that drive high-performing teams
  • Work with senior managers across the business on performance management, organizational design, employee engagement, rewards, and workforce planning
  • Coach and advise people managers on the full spectrum of employee relations issues across multiple countries
  • Partner with people managers to support the delivery of appropriate training and development programs
  • Establish a trusted partnership with the business in your region
  • Drive diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
  • Design new policies and deliver on business-critical HR-related projects globally
  • Present at Canonical events to articulate Canonical's HR practices

We are looking for an exceptional individual with a strong academic track record, HR experience leading initiatives across regions within a technology business, people management experience, experience in business partnering with senior stakeholders, and a good balance between leading and executing. The ideal candidate will be able to leverage data to make informed decisions, have knowledge and practical implementation of HR practices and employment law across EMEA, and be fluent in business English (written and spoken). Self-motivated, organized, accurate, confident, authentic, results-oriented, open-minded, enthusiastic, and energetic individuals are encouraged to apply.

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognize outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

Some of the benefits we offer include a distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person, a personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year, annual compensation review, recognition rewards, annual holiday leave, maternity and paternity leave, Employee Assistance Programme, opportunity to travel to new locations to meet colleagues, Priority Pass, and travel upgrades for long-haul company events.
