This is a critical role that provides high-touch support to Addepar’s UK employee base. As a key partner to local leadership across R&D, GTM, and G&A, you will bridge the gap between global strategy and local execution.

You will report to the Regional Director, People Business Partner (based in London), and serve as a trusted coach to managers, an expert in UK employee relations, and a primary driver of people programs in the region. This role is ideal for a professional who excels in high-growth environments and thrives on building relationships across diverse functional teams.

• ER & Compliance Expert: Manage end-to-end employee relations, including grievances, disciplinaries, and complex investigations. Ensure all local practices remain compliant with UK labor laws while maintaining the "Addepar way"
• Cross-Functional Stakeholder Management: Provide balanced support across R&D, GTM, and G&A functions, collaborating closely with Global PBPs to maintain functional consistency
• Manager Coaching: Act as a dedicated coach to managers and Directors, helping them navigate team dynamics, workforce planning, and talent development
• Program Implementation: Take global people initiatives and translate them for the local office, ensuring high adoption and relevance
• Operational Excellence: Use data and professional concepts to resolve complex issues in creative and effective ways, working with little to no supervision on daily tasks

• Proven ability to manage stakeholders across different areas of a business
• Strong expertise in UK employment law and a track record of handling sensitive employee relations issues with empathy and professional judgment
• Comfortable being a senior People team member in the Scotland office, with the maturity to exercise good judgment while working remotely from your direct manager
