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.

You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone contributes ideas and drives outcomes.

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