- Keep investigations procedurally sound by aligning them with local statutory requirements, such as the ACAS Code of Practice in the UK, and act as the final word on investigative methodology.
- Partner with Employment Counsel to assess legal and reputational risk of findings and turn outcomes into actionable recommendations for leadership.
- Advise managers and HR Business Partners across EMEA and APJ on sensitive ER issues, including disciplinary actions, written warnings, grievances, and regional legal and cultural considerations.
- Support restructures, job eliminations, and involuntary exits in EMEA, ensuring compliance with local consultation requirements and engaging with works councils and employee representative bodies.
- Analyze ER trends across EMEA and APJ monthly and quarterly to identify systemic risks and shape remediation strategies, policy improvements, and manager training.
- Maintain accurate case documentation in the case management system and standardize investigation templates, interview protocols, and evidence-gathering procedures.
- Stay current on employment law, regulatory developments, and ER best practice across EMEA, with working knowledge of APJ, and contribute to ER projects.
Requirements
- 6+ years of progressive, hands-on experience in employee relations, workplace investigations, or employment law within a fast-paced, global, or matrixed organization.
- Strong practical knowledge of employment and labor laws across EMEA, with a proven track record of independently managing complex ER cases across multiple European jurisdictions.
- Expertise in workplace investigations, conflict resolution, and sensitive employee matters, with the ability to diagnose root causes and interpret ambiguous, multi-sided situations.
- Strong executive presence and the ability to advise, build trust with, and influence senior leaders and cross-functional partners.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with extensive experience drafting formal investigation reports, executive summaries, and policy materials.
- Proven ability to manage a high volume of complex matters at once using ER case management systems, with a high standard of detail, discretion, and confidentiality.
Preferred qualifications
- A Bachelor's or Master's Degree in HR, Business, or Law, plus relevant HR or legal certifications.
- Experience in technology or a high-growth commercial environment.
- Investigative work in the UK, Ireland, or the Czech Republic.
