Your responsibilities

People leadership & cross-functional alignment

Participate in the People Leadership team and contribute to collective decision-making on HR strategy

Ensure alignment with the Head of Talent, Culture & Performance and Head of People Ops, Data & Systems, serve as the escalation point for any cross-perimeter topic requiring arbitration

Team management & capability building

Manage the HRBPs: objectives, development, performance reviews, 1:1s,

Identify and address capability gaps within the team; facilitates upskilling on thematic areas (C&B, talent, learning, AI-driven HR practices)

Ensure project delivery roadmap of the team, providing structure, prioritisation and follow-through

In time, may manage a perimeter directly, either temporarily (replacement) or permanently (organisation need)

HR policy coherence & governance

Involved in designing all new or revised HR policies before deployment to the business, arbitrate cross-perimeter topics where HRBP alignment is required

Supervise departures in terms of framework and financial impact

Hold final decision authority on off-grid compensation and pay equity cases, in alignment with the Head of Talent

Restructuring & transformation

Lead or closely involved in large-scale restructuring projects (M&A, internationalisation, organisational redesign)

Coordinate with the Labour Law specialist on social dialogue and legal risk exposure

Ensure organisational design decisions are documented and consistent across projects

Workforce cost & headcount management

Accountable for staff plan materialisation across all perimeters: design, tracking, and delivery

Serve as the direct interface with FP&A on headcount and personnel cost monitoring; ensure ongoing reporting reliability

Your qualifications

You are a senior HR generalist — 15+ years in, with enough breadth to cover the full spectrum and enough depth to handle the hard cases. You have personally driven performance management cycles, departures, and restructuring projects — not just advised on them. You have worked across geographies, operated daily in English, and navigated complex labour law contexts without needing a specialist for every question.

Beyond the experience, here is what will make you stand out:

You are financially literate : headcount costs, FP&A interfaces, and staff plan tracking are part of your day-to-day, not a stretch

You think in systems : you build policies and frameworks that hold across cases, not just solve the issue in front of you

You influence senior leaders without relying on authority, through rigour, relationship, and well-framed recommendations

You manage with clarity, your team knows what is expected, where they stand, and how to grow

You have a strong command of French labour law to engage credibly on social dialogue, departures, and restructurings

You are fluent in written and spoken English; this is non-negotiable given the international scope
