• Manage global ER KPIs, using data analysis and trend insights to develop targeted action plans. Partner with HR and business leaders to implement corrective and preventative measures that enhance ER delivery and employee experience.

• Share high‑quality insights to the business on ER trends, integrating data, case outcomes, and thematic analysis to influence decision‑making, shape workforce strategies, and ensure proactive management of ER‑related risks through robust governance and CAPAs.

• Build strong, trusted relationships with aligned stakeholders across markets—such as HRBLs, HR Country Heads, legal partners, and business leaders—through proactive engagement, expert advice, and alignment of ER practices with organisational priorities.

• Partner with the Community of Practice, Legal, and other cross‑functional teams on complex ER matters including investigations, regulatory considerations, and litigation/tribunal preparation, ensuring positions are well‑supported, risks are mitigated, and outcomes are strategically managed.
