Reporting to the Head of People and Culture Operations, you will provide expert advice and guidance across a wide range of employee relations and HR compliance matters.
You will partner with managers across the business, helping them navigate complex people issues while ensuring consistency, fairness and compliance with employment legislation and company policies.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys ownership, variety and building strong relationships across a fast-paced organisation.
