Realize your potential by joining the leading performance-driven advertising company and a proud Great Place to Work® Certified employer in the UK
As a HR Director and member of the Enterprise Sales leadership team, you will shape and deliver the people strategy for EMEA Enterprise Sales (inc. Israel), coach leaders, and guide organisational and talent decisions critical to business success. The role requires the ability to navigate and balance differing perspectives, building strong, credible relationships and influencing effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.
This role requires a highly hands-on approach: staying close to leaders and employees, supporting day-to-day people decisions using sound judgement and experience, and maintaining trust while operating in a fast-paced, commercially driven environment.
In parallel, the role carries a regional, cross-functional lens, requiring a strong understanding of local market dynamics, employment legislation, employee relations, and benefits across EMEA. While not owning people priorities for the entire region, you will maintain active visibility of region-wide themes and risks, advise on employee relations matters, and ensure decisions are made within a broader global context and aligned to global guidance wherever possible.
This is a role for someone who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves as well as operating strategically, while remaining closely involved in the day-to-day issues that matter to the business and to employees.
The role includes management responsibility for an EMEA Benefits Advisor and an HR Business Partner.
To thrive in this role, you’ll need:
- Deep expertise as a senior HRBP or HR Director with extensive knowledge of EMEA employment law, employee relations, and cultural nuance.
- The ability to operate hands-on in complex, fast-moving, matrixed environments.
- A commercial mindset, with the ability to link people decisions directly to business outcomes.
- Strength with data and insight, while remaining grounded in day-to-day business realities.
- Credible and clear communication skills, with a focus on building trust and a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
- Strong judgment and experience to support day-to-day people decisions in a fast-paced environment.
- Proven ability to navigate and balance differing perspectives and influence stakeholders at all levels.
Bonus points if you have:
- Supported sales teams
How you’ll make an impact:
The day in the life of our HR leadership is diverse; you can find yourself acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, identifying emerging regional risks, or collaborating with global HR counterparts to calibrate our approach. Key responsibilities include:
- Strategic Partnering (Hands-On): Influence people, talent, and organizational decisions early; partner directly on workforce planning, succession, and organization design.
- Regional Insight & Risk Lens: Identify cross-functional themes and emerging issues across EMEA, providing direct advice on ER matters to ensure alignment with local legal requirements.
- Global Context & Alignment: Ensure decisions are made with awareness of wider regional and global implications, escalating material issues to the Head of Global HR.
- HR Delivery & Ways of Working: Work closely with the HR Shared Service Centre to ensure effective delivery and transition location-agnostic activities to the SSC.
- Business Connection: Stay closely connected to leaders and employees to understand sentiment and performance, intervening pragmatically with clarity and follow-through.
- Team Leadership: Manage the EMEA Benefits Advisor and the HRBP, model calm, fair, and practical leadership by acting decisively and challenging constructively.
