In Office Senior EMEA Head of People HR Business Partner Team Leadership Documentation

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in HRBP, Head of People, HRD, organisational partnership, or similar leadership-facing roles. • Strong experience working with leaders in fast-moving environments. • Ability to challenge stakeholders directly, constructively, and without unnecessary politics. • Strong judgment and ability to operate in ambiguous situations. • High level of ownership, maturity, and communication clarity. • Ability to connect people and topics with business reality and execution impact. • Comfortable with difficult conversations, organisational tension, and imperfect environments. • Ability to remain calm, structured, and pragmatic under pressure. • Ability to build trust with strong personalities and leadership teams while still being able to challenge them when needed. • Ability to simplify complexity instead of adding bureaucracy. • Strong business and organisational awareness. • Interest in scalable organisational practices, operational clarity, and AI-supported People infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Partner with leaders on hiring, team structure, organisational effectiveness, performance, ownership gaps, and delivery risks. • Push discussions toward decisions and outcomes instead of endless alignment loops. • Help leaders define what “strong” actually means for critical roles and challenge weak hiring compromises. • Support leaders in addressing underperformance early and directly. • Identify early organisational signals such as leadership gaps, burnout, unhealthy dependencies, misalignment, or execution risks. • Help improve feedback quality, leadership practices, and decision consistency across teams. • Support practical and scalable organisational approaches instead of overcomplicated HR frameworks. • Contribute to improving internal documentation, operational clarity, and AI-supported People knowledge infrastructure over time. • This role is not: • an employee support hotline; • a process coordinator; • a “culture activities” owner; • a passive mediator avoiding uncomfortable conversations; • or someone hiding behind frameworks instead of making judgment calls. • The goal of the role is not to centralise ownership inside the People function. • We expect PBPs to strengthen leadership capability, improve decision quality, and help leaders become more effective and self-sufficient over time. • clarity over ambiguity; • direct communication over corporate politeness; • speed with accountability; • impact over activity.

Benefits
