Overview

Our dynamic Employee Relations team is positioned at the heart of our operations, where efficiency and innovation drive everything we do. This team plays a critical role in maintaining a positive work environment by addressing employee concerns, ensuring compliance with employment laws, and promoting effective communication between employees and management. This EMEA-based team of Employee Relations Consultants plays a crucial role in shaping the employee experience and advancing our Employee Relations agenda across the region, influencing workplace policies, resolving conflicts, and contributing to the overall well-being and productivity of the workforce.

We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You'll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

• A legal qualification from the UK or Europe and between 5-10 years' post-qualification experience in employment law; or significant Employee Relations experience within a dynamic corporate environment, preferably in financial services.
