ROLE FILLED - HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADER COMMENCED AFTER SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OFFER

This newly created role is part of a global upgrade of capabilities across the well established ER Centre of Excellence within this global company known for fair treatment of its employees.

As a result, we are seeking an ambitious, commercially-minded Employee Relations expert - this person could already be a dedicated ER consultant or in-house ER specialist; or could be a HR generalist or HR Business Partner with a flair and interest in high quality ER management; or an employment lawyer who now wishes to transition to an “in-house” role within a broader HR team.

This person will support business and HR leaders in key countries, as the subject matter expert for Employment Law, Diversity, Policy & Procedure and Employee Engagement.  Complex case management, proactive advice for change management programs, resolution of employee issues, minimisation of brand risk, negotiations with staff councils and unions, and advice on risk for new markets opening & closing, are just some of the many responsibilities in this role. 

This company has a predominantly well educated, white collar workforce, and has worked hard to reduce their ER liabilities. So this person can expect to be working more pro-actively on strategic interventions to predict and prevent issues, rather than simply spending time wading through disputes and “cleaning up” ER mess!

Reporting into a Global ER executive, and mentoring others within a regional CoE ER team, this person will be relied upon for collaborating with peers across Latin America and around the world to ensure a consistent level of service delivery, and will be expected to be a key contributor to global projects.

This ER expert should expect a lot of change, challenges and ambiguity as a result of various organisational design programs rolling through the company globally; but for the right person this will be an ideal time to join as you’ll be able to capitalise on having significant strategic input in refining the function, creating policy and identifying solutions!

The role requires fluent written and spoken English plus fluency for Spanish and/or Portuguese. Other critical hiring criteria includes:

•  A stable career history working for large sized international corporations (apologies but career contractors cannot be considered for this hire)

• A track record of successfully navigating through complex matrix organisational structures

• An analytical mind-set with data savvy; able to influence through facts rather than simply emotions

• Fine attention to detail in the creation of processes, programmes and reporting tools to track, assess and review ER issues  

• Ability to adjust your communications and presentations style to an array of stakeholders

• You’ll need gravitas, with the courage to influence and stand your ground whilst demonstrating a high degree of emotional intelligence

• You will be known as a thought leader - able to challenge the status quo and innovate new process and solutions to positive employee engagement results

There are fantastic career development prospects with this employer, particularly if you are open to future relocations around the world.

Post Covid restrictions, some travel can be expected across the region and occasionally to the US.  The base salary will be accompanied by a generous performance bonus and other benefits.
