- Managing recruitment processes and partnering with leaders on hiring needs.
- Driving performance management, talent development and succession planning initiatives.
- Overseeing payroll inputs, employee records, HR policies and employment documentation.
- Managing external HR and legal partners where specialist advice is required.
- Ensuring HR processes, governance and reporting are accurate, compliant and fit for purpose.
We are keen to speak with HR professionals who have:
- Significant HR Manager or HR Business Partner experience.
- Strong working knowledge of French employment law and employee relations practices.
- Fluency in both French and English, with the ability to manage sensitive employee discussions and legal documentation in French.
- Experience supporting organisational change, talent management and recruitment.
- A commercial and pragmatic approach to problem solving.
- The ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate with credibility at leadership level.
- Experience working within an international or multi-country environment would be advantageous.
- CIPD qualification (or equivalent) would be beneficial.
- Ability to travel to France on a monthly basis
- Opportunity to shape and lead the people agenda within an international business.
- Broad and varied role with strategic and operational exposure.
