Regional HR Manager, LATAM, Mexico City
This is a newly created role, focused on leading the day-to-day HR agenda across multiple LATAM jurisdictions, within a well-established organisation that has expanded rapidly through acquisitions and is now evolving, maturing, and continuing its growth trajectory.
You will partner with an inspiring SVP HR and key business stakeholders, acting as a trusted sparring partner, coach and go-to expert, with a strong appetite for delivering impactful HR interventions. The environment is dynamic, with ongoing change, complexity and ambiguity driven by a combination of organic growth and acquisitions.
You will support a diverse mix of white- and blue-collar workforces, some of whom may not have previously experienced strong HR support. As such, you will act as both an educator and advocate for HR, engaging effectively with stakeholders who may at times be demanding.
This is a highly varied role offering significant challenge for an HR professional who is motivated by continuous improvement and thrives in a complex, matrixed, multinational environment. It will suit a modern HR leader who is focused on delivering measurable commercial value and is confident partnering with senior leadership teams.

Developing management capability by coaching leaders to take a more structured approach to performance, development, and day-to-day people management
Supporting core talent and organisational priorities, including workforce planning, talent acquisition, and integration activities
Supporting the adoption of HR systems and consistent people processes across the region, strengthening compliance, scalability, and overall HR maturity
Building effective employee and workforce relationships through proactive, partnership-led engagement
Managing employee relations issues in compliance with local labour laws
Maintaining effective union relationships – including negotiation of collective bargaining agreements
Gathering and analysing people data to support informed decision making and improve business insight
To succeed in this role, you will need:
A stable career history, with proven success operating in international, matrixed environments (apologies but career contractors cannot be considered for this hire)
Strong expertise in employment law, including union relations across multiple jurisdictions and negotiation of collective bargaining agreements
Strong analytical capability with a data-driven approach
Experience supporting both blue- and white-collar employee populations
Excellent communications and stakeholder management skills
