Description

About the Role

As EMEA Labor Relations Manager, you'll operate across two dimensions:

- Southern Europe LR depth: Serve as the strategic LR partner for Southern Europe — equipping business leaders and the HR organization with the expertise, frameworks, and counsel needed to navigate day-to-day labor relations matters and local collective requirements.

- Broader EU contribution: Support and contribute to cross-country LR initiatives, change programmes, and capability development across the wider EMEA region, building exposure and expertise beyond your core markets.

Reporting to the EMEA & APJC Labor Relations Leader, you’ll deliver hands-on LR outcomes, contribute to regional strategy development, and ensure that employee trust and business velocity are balanced in your markets. This role requires the ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels — translating regional direction into local deployment while identifying risks and opportunities that inform broader strategy.
