Regional HR Director - EMEA & APAC
ROLE FILLED - HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADER COMMENCED AFTER SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OFFER
This global company continues to expand its business as a result of new product development and acquisitions, which is driving the need to upgrade HR capabilities to aid in these growth plans. Additionally, the company has a significant employee “footprint” across an array of countries in the EMEA and APAC regions, which requires a particular level of multicultural awareness and communications finesse, in addition to some masterful juggling to accomodate an array of employment legislations and competitiveness for talent attraction, engagement and retention.
Subsequently, we’re seeking an ambitious HR leader to be a key contributor in addressing these challenges whilst taking on full accountability for supporting a significantly sized commercial sales workforce scattered across the region, all whilst managing and developing a geographically scattered team of direct and indirect reports.
Immediate projects to be owned by this leader include:
Repositioning HR services from traditional, reactive, “policy policing” to proactive, enabling support, along with a good measure of strategic thinking and harnessing quality data to ensure informed decision making
Building effective stakeholder relationships based on business enabling partnerships, rather than the very frustrating “just read the handbook” approach that has historically been adopted in some markets
Leadership development and coaching for all levels of management across multiple countries
Deployment and support of continuous improvement initiatives covering technology, talent management and people investment (an understanding of Lean / Kaizen / Six Sigma methodologies would be beneficial)
Reconfiguration of sales reward plans to drive the right behaviours whilst ensuring transparency and fairness
Alignment of local HR processes with regional and global HR strategies (whilst also being a direct contributor to those global strategies)
Workforce planning optimisation to maximise productivity, manage succession plans, and create effective knowledge transfer and pension management
Creation of a long-term Talent Acquisition and Management strategy to recruit and retain employees
Support for due diligence and post merger integration activities
Mentoring and development of other HR team members
This person will be a key member of the regional management teams in this high profile role, that will require a level of planned travel to other countries.
This person will ideally offer a working knowledge of cultures and employment laws in an array of European countries, along with some level of direct experience across MEA and APAC countries.
Fluent written and spoken English language skills will be expected, and French and/or German business level language will be highly regarded.
Whilst we have flexiblity for working from home, we would like this person in the Brussels office at least 2-3 days weekly (when not working abroad), and this salaried role will be on the basis of a Belgium based employment contract arrangement.
With a base salary from EUR 170,000 (potential to increase significantly depending on experience level) plus bonus, benefits and LTIP, this role offers genuine opportunities for ongoing career development, progression and increased scope responsibilities.
If this sounds like the challenge you've been seeking for your next career move, please do make contact directly. Interviews are being scheduled currently, with a view to an employment offer being extended in the coming weeks.
